Whitney Johnson, Lia Kohl, Macie Stewart + Marguerite Brown

Lia Kohl, Marguerite Brown and 2 more live at The Lab, San Francisco on Fri, Dec 18, 8:00 PM. Tickets from $23. Lineup, start time and tickets on Ckord.

Whitney Johnson, Lia Kohl, and Macie Stewart are a trio who utilize string instruments, voices, and manual tape effect processing to craft compositions from alternately tranquil and disquieting improvised music. The three musicians are individually rooted in deep sound exploration, multi-disciplinary composition, and all manner of cross-genre collaboration. The musical ground covered by their solo practices is correspondingly expansive, and their individual recording and performance credits read as a veritable who’s who, ranging from DIY darlings to household names of experimental avant-garde, electronic, indie rock, and more. Their influences are vast — dispatched with more playful ease than a trio of string instruments is typically approached with, and just as likely to be found in the cloud-obscured mountains of Donegal, the low-rent cacophony of a Midwestern basement, or the revelatory expanse of the Nurse With Wound list as in the storied halls of the academy. Touchstones and areas of interest aside, the main thing that Johnson, Kohl, and Stewart engage with in BODY SOUND is: listening and reacting. Marguerite Brown is a composer/performer who explores new mediums, forms, and performance practices with an emphasis on unorthodox approaches to tuning and temperament. *tuning to* is an ever-evolving solo set that explores the electric guitar as a celestial body using a curated set of planetary tuning forks, hardware, and unconventional performance techniques.
