Homeroom Residency: Spectralina w/ Ben LaMar Gay + Frederick Wells
@ Elastic Arts
3429 W Diversey Ave, #208, Chicago IL, 60647
Opening Tuesday, March 5th, at 8PM
Every Tuesday in March, Homeroom Residency presents SPECTRALINA: The audio-visual performance project of Dan Bitney and Selina Trepp.There will be special guests that join Spectralina for four multidisciplinary performances. Working in an improvised format, Spectralina creates an image-sound relationship that treats each medium equally, resulting in performances in which projection and sounds come together as visual music. In Spectralina, Dan uses a computer, synthesizers, drums, voice, and analog processors to create sounds. Selina sings, animates, and plays the videolah, an instrument that creates real-time animated projections. At the first night of their residency they’ll be joined by Ben LaMar Gay and Frederick Wells. Doors at 8pm!
$15 / $10 w/ Student ID – Tickets Available at the Door
Artist Bios
Ben LaMar Gay is a composer, multi-instrumentalist, singer, poet, and patently eclectic polymath who Afropunk has called “strikingly original,” Pitchfork has called “uncategorizable,” and Jeff Parker has called “hands down, one of my favorite musicians on the planet today.” He channels a radical array of sound, color, and space through the universal language of folklore; but despite the widely attributed genius of his work, his artistic approach and general demeanor are characterized by an endearing humbleness and warm humanity.
Homeroom Residency is an ongoing initiative to provide reliable, paid performance work to Chicago artists. The residency gives artists space to develop existing collaborations and explore new ideas. Residency is directly supported by individual donors.
