VOLUME and Last Visible Dog records are pleased to present Erika Bell, Astor, and a trio performance by Sean McCann, Alex Twomey, and Matthew Sullivan on Tuesday, October 23rd, at Human Resources.

Erika Bell will be presenting a new, four-channel work titled “Saint-Girons,” which was inspired by a recent field recording she took in a workshop led by Christina Kubisch. The recording captures both the electromagnetic sounds (via Kubisch’s headphones) and the acoustic atmospheric sounds of Saint-Girons, France in real-time. This field recording will be paired with, and accompanied by, a small ensemble.

Originally hailing from Australia, Astor’s music can range from claustrophobic to cosmic while incorporating a wide range of techniques spanning the history of electronic music. Their most recent solo album, 2018’s Lina in Nida on UK-based Penultimate Press, featured a spoken word contribution from Estonian artist Kris Lemslau alongside a proposed anthem for Britain during a potential invasion by ISIS and more. This event will be a rare opportunity for fans of field recordings, musique concrete, dark ambient, and fringe electro-acoustic music to experience this artist in a live setting. Sean McCann, Alex Twomey, and Matthew Sullivan will perform as a trio, bringing together three highly notable LA-based artists involved in experimental electro-acoustic music.

Christopher Reid Martin will provide music between sets.

Tickets for the event may be purchased for $9.99 in advance or for $12 at the door.
