*Alex Chechile (Providence, RI) - at Harvestworks
Monday 24*
Using findings from his psychoacoustic research on the perception of spectrally complex difference tones, Alex Chechile will perform works from his On the Sensations of Tone series; the pieces explore expanded layers of spatial depth created by tones that are generated by the ear and appear localized within the head; the multichannel works will employ modular synthesizers and Chechile’s custom Ear Tone Toolbox, and the concert will be accompanied by an artist/research talk on difference tones and otoacoustic emissions - http://alexchechile.com
*Thessia Machado & Ranjit Bhatnagar (NYC) - at Various/Artists Thursday 27*
From an assortment of mechanical, acoustic, organic, and sometimes
electronic sound-making objects, Bhatnagar and Machado tease out loops, drones, voices, and textures in an unpredictable landscape; misusers of tools & devices, senses-focused, the duo sings the unsung song of the objects- https://thessiamachado.com - https://moonmilk.com
*Eric Letourneau (Montreal, Canada) - at Various/Artists Friday 28*
Eric Létourneau utilizes his queer body to interweave oblique ways of combining experimental music and performance art; he is interested in queer phenomenology as a way of apprehending research-creation; the sound performance Joncs cagettes bassesterres incorporates minimalist elements that open up a fantasmatic world in which traditional dialectical models are blurred in favor of a transductive aesthetic through sound and action; with Brian McCorkle, Yvette Massoudi, and Katherine Liberovskaya - http://systememinuit.com/actions

*Charmaine Lee (NYC) - at Zürcher Gallery
Monday 31*
Solo improvisation for voice and electronics, exploring feedback and sonic palettes between wires and breath -
*MV Carbon (NYC) - at Zürcher Gallery
Monday 31*Prioritizing sound exploration over traditional musical structures, rhythm and emotion weave and unravel as dense orchestrations magnify the ritual embedded within music; chaotic moments of sonic trajectory are leveled with contrasting elements of pure tone; percussive backgrounds are created with hand made instruments as electric cello is processed through a meticulous chain of effects; structure is established then shifts, allowing sound to metamorphosize into space -
