On the evening of Friday, February 7th, we proudly presented Buildings and Mountains, the experimental sound project of Andris Balins (NY) and Casey Ruland (NY), Andrew Izold’s solo project Full Load of King (OH), the experimental music duo of Julie Licata (CMH) and Caleb Miller (CMH), and multi-instrumentalist Torin Jacob’s (CMH) project Obsessed with Sound, with Doug Leed (CMH) on visuals.
Supporters of our 2024-2025 season include the Greater Columbus Arts Council, the Ohio Arts Council, the National Endowment for the Arts, and the Columbus Foundation.
About the artists:
Andris Balins and Casey Ruland have been playing music together for over 30 years. They have explored music without confines, inspired by the sounds of our surroundings, listening to the soundtrack of our lives. Buildings and Mountains became a vessel for Andris and Casey to experiment with sound, focusing on the waves, vibrations, and breath that flow all around us. Amidst our ever changing world, Buildings and Mountains focuses on making music that is fluid, constantly changing form and instrumentation. The core of the project focuses on the place humans have on this planet, the eternal push and pull with the world around us. Buildings and Mountains invite you to join in on this musical journey.
