Tomorrow morning we will be releasing a new full length album by @chrislockmusic featuring densely textural sound design and warped, abstract rhythms. Christopher Lock (lock-music.com) is an electronic musician, creative programmer, violist, film composer, and educator currently based in Asheville, NC. He creates densely textural electronic music which slowly mutates and morphs over time and is often saturated with abstract imagery of the natural world and biological phantasmagoria. His unique musical practice is a synthesis of traditions ranging from Baltimore area noise and experimental music, where he first started working with sound, to his background as a modern classical Violist. The album can be found on Bandcamp tomorrow!

On December 10th Spectral Mutation and the @shelemay_sound_lab will present an evening of quadrophonic electroacoustic music at Harvard University featuring performers from the Cambridge/Boston area, NYC, and Asheville including: @san_huan_ — a Brooklyn-based producer and live performer who shapes electroacoustic experimentation into compositions of dub, IDM, and techno. Their practice unfolds through deliberate physical encounters—naive percussion playing, unstructured synthesizer explorations, collaborative improvisations that capture the presence of human touch within electronic frameworks. @shape_language___ — a flute performer, curator, and motion designer based in Brooklyn. His practice explores the beauty and terror of the choreography of earth’s atmosphere, hydrosphere, and lithosphere. He co-produces Heat Index, an event series which combines movement performance, electronic music, and contemporary art. He’s performed at venues such as La Souris Verte (FR), Light and Sound Design (BK), and Cattivo (PGH). @jessica.shand — a flutist, producer, composer, and researcher based out of Providence, RI. She merges contemporary experimental classical, jazz, and electronic performance practices with mathematics and computer science to (de)construct sound as a relational interface between and among humans and machines. @denvernuckollsmusic — a performer, composer, audio engineer, and educator based in the Boston, MA area. His creative practice centers around his various operations as a sonic shapeshifter, translating a world flooded with sound through a variety of explorations in musical presentation, documentation, and communication. His performances and compositions have activated spaces and events including Piano Craft Gallery [Boston, MA], The New Colossus Festival [New York City, NY], and MG Space [Beijing, China]. @chrislockmusic — an electronic musician, creative programmer, violist, film composer, and educator currently based in Asheville, NC. He creates densely textural electronic music which slowly mutates and morphs over time and is often saturated with abstract imagery of the natural world and biological phantasmagoria. 12.10.2025, 7pm

My second EP “blue and green lozenges of April heat” is out now on Bandcamp and Nina Protocol via @chrislockmusic ’s @spectralmutation . I met Chris this past April in DC at Live in Translation by Heaven Dancing Club and Avant-Hard. We had both been invited by Matthew Cha (whose contributions appear on track 2 & on Spectral Mutation’s debut VA). It was in DC that I debuted the live material that became this record. I’m grateful to join a group of artists who are fearlessly pushing forward a vision of soundsystem music equally inspired by the rave, the concert, and the gallery. Thank you also to the event promoters who helped me test this material live & understand how these sounds can adapt across different spaces and energies. Now it’s yours to play with! Link in bio to listen. ~~ Out now on Bandcamp and Nina Protocol: blue and green lozenges of April heat, the second studio EP by @san_huan_ A note from San Huan: blue and green lozenges of April heat, my second EP which takes its name from Anne Carson’s The Glass Essay, is a record of improvisations and relationships that happened from January 2024 to October 2025. It’s organized into four shades of 170bpm: Adagio, (Glass percussion swells into a late May afternoon, meeting a chopped Fiona Apple lyric) Buchvinsky, (Tense negotiations of Buchla and air, metal and wood, software synths and plastic) Ctrl, (Framing a hand-me-down drone from a former friend) Ambivalent (Rapture to rupture; unfinished business) Some collaborators stay and others leave. I believe connections that existed once, exist forever. Time, in its transparent loops (– Anne Carson), moves onwards, leaving behind glass slides and records. Thank you for playing and thank you for listening.
