An Unforgettable Night of Experimental Music. An electrifying evening of avant-garde sounds and boundary-pushing music as three cutting-edge experimental music bands converge on one stage to take you on a journey like no other.
Rebekkah L. Palov is an artist who creates artworks and performance pieces through music, video, drawing, and small software. As she expresses in her artist statement, "Thematically I am drawn to many kinds of economics; the economics of home, money, movement, love, history and words. I find value exchange, the idea that one thing can be valued against any other, a wonderfully fertile notion." She describes her performances as incorporating "surprise and wit," and she focuses on the strange resonances of "free space." [1] In 2001, Palov received her BFA in Film from the University of Wisconsin at Milwaukee. In 2009, she earned an MFA in Electronic Integrated Arts from the New York State College of Ceramics at Alfred University. Palov has exhibited internationally, focusing on moving image, sound, and performance works. She has participated in artist residencies around the world, including two at the Experimental Television Center. In 2011, Rebekkah Palov curated an exhibition in the Project Space at the Burchfield Penney Art Center.
The music of Puerto Rican guitarist and composer Federico Balducci can be described as a mixture of classical and ambient music with unusually intricate harmonies. Federico Balducci has a Bachelor’s Degree in Film Scoring from the prestigious Berklee College of Music. Currently, Federico mostly works on film scores for short films and documentaries.
Becca Pasley has a varied background studying and performing creative improvisation, noise music, DIY punk rock, Black American music, and European classical. The name of their ambient noise project, Souther Cistern, recognizes the strong influence of Deep Listening, Pauline Oliveros’s mindfulness philosophy, and her album of the same name that was recorded in an empty reverberating cistern.
