In the past decade, Matchess’ music has traversed outer and inner space, searching patiently for the unseen world that exists behind the world that we see everyday.
Matchess “Hav/Stena” Tour June 2024
In anticipation of alter ego albums Hav/Stena to be released on Drag City in Fall 2024, Matchess (AKA Whitney Johnson) enlists Haley Fohr (AKA Circuit des Yeux) and Lula Asplund to turn down the energetic temperature and settle into a mellow expansion of sound. With three marimbas, sine waves, viola, voices, and electronics, the trio will invite us to experience sonic doubles in our bodies and minds. Their individual practices in experimental music, sound art, and performance will invoke the “two against three” principle to alchemize a fresh collaboration on this tour of the American East.
Matchess will be joined by Lula Asplund and Haley Fohr.
Haley Fohr, better known as Circuit des Yeux; is a vocalist, composer and singer-songwriter based in Chicago, Illinois. Her musical endeavors focus around our human condition, and her 15-year career as Circuit des Yeux has grown into one of America’s most successful efforts to connect the personal to the universal. She is most distinctly identified by her 4-octave voice and unique style of 12-string guitar.
Chicago-based artist Lula Asplund combines digital and analog sound synthesis with tape manipulation and vocal manipulation to explore perceptual vanishing points and create derelict vignettes and lattices of sound.
Tashi Dorji will also be joined by Haley Fohr, in a special duo performance.
