ACCESS: SOUND FILE A day-long salon accompanying KYTN focusing on sound art.
A dance party love letter to our community, expressing the joy of relation in the abstract and through actual physical proximity.
African American history, avant-garde jazz riffs and activism intertwine in experimental verse of extraordinary and affecting beauty that has to be heard.
A beautifully crisp, slowly evolving duo for cello and projected images. Abstract but still figurative; change only noticeable after the fact.
