About this event
Nola Sporn Smith presents the 3rd iteration of this multidisciplinary series at Stone Circle, with offerings of movement, music, & performance
Artist’s Bios:
iiisa:
is the budding solo project of NYC-based latinx vocalist and improviser-composer, isabel crespo pardo. Their intimate songs emerge from warm sonic landscapes filled with familial chatter and field recordings from their home in Costa Rica. Taking great care, they transform opaque memories into powerful ephemera in hopes of offering solace. More at isabelcrespo.com
gushes:
With a penchant for playful psychedelia and floral devastation, gushes is a loop-driven art-prog music and ceremony project by Jennae Santos. On the toes of their Portugal Winter Tour, for January 16th, this gush will feature drummer/percussionist Matt Evans for a special performance of colorful bombast and intimate vibrance.
