On the evening of Wednesday, July 2nd, we proudly hosted pedal steel guitarist Luke Schneider (TN), new age and psych-Americana project Pure Waves (MA/MT), and Brian Werstler and Bill Stoner’s experimental electronic music duo Yul Brynner’s Ghost(CMH).
About the artists:
Pure Waves is an ambient new age and psych-Americana project from long-time collaborators Keith Dusoe (Easthampton, MA) and Jay Fiske (Missoula, MT). Inspired by both embodied movement practices as well as experiences in deep nature, Pure Waves composes soundscapes that transcribe and inspire elemental motion: layered horizons of analog synth with scattered passing clouds of pedal steel. Their debut album ‘Be Yourself Out There’ was mastered by Chuck Johnson and released on Akashic Records in late 2024.

On the evening of Saturday, May 30th, we proudly presented a series of collaborative performances between projection artists and musicians and sound artists. Featured performances included collaborations between media artist C.G. [create good] Ryan and sound artist Ben New, media artist Krista Faist and musician Alex Burgoyne, and video artist Nikki Swift and media and sound artist Matt Swift.
About the artists:
As individual artists and a collaborative team, Nikki and Matt Swift have been creating various audio visual artworks for over 20 years. Their work ranges from the personal experimental documentary to highly structuralist exploratory workflows that break the very tools used to make their creations. More recent works have focused on the political, including the history of democracy and communication, the exploitation of the environment, and human memory versus technological recordings. This performance included some of these themes pairing the two artists together to create an ephemeral unique live performance containing audio and visuals produced from various sources combining the analog and the digital.
