Ka Baird is a performer, composer and sound designer combining extended voice/microphone techniques, with electronics and the psychoacoustic interplay of woodwinds. They create a present tense sound with a vigorous delivery that seeks extreme release through physical exertion and psychic extension. They are one of the founding and continuing members of Spires That In The Sunset Rise. This will be Baird's only NYC show for the remainder of 2022.
Lea Bertucci is an artist, composer and performer whose work describes relationships between acoustic phenomena and biological resonance. In addition to her longstanding practice with woodwind instruments, Bertucci‘s work incorporates radical methods of free improvisation and creative misuses of audio technology applied to field recording and sampling/collage techniques. Her autodidactic and idiosyncratic approach to music is marked by dense masses of sustained dissonance and a fascination with the sonic substance of common experience through eccentric methods of field recording and collage. Tape manipulation and other creative recording techniques push the limits of the recorded medium to elicit a visceral sonic and emotional experience from the listener.
