Psycon Fest is launching its 2nd edition at Mary's Underground!
The evening will bring to your ears the music of local artists with a nice blend of musical genres with Foshe and Ephemera Quartet as well as spoken word poetry by Hani Abdile.
Foshe:
Blending house music and meditative soundscapes with heavy, afro-inspired, polyrhythmic grooves. 100% improvised.
Listen to Nice to Meetcha feat. Horatio Luna.
A musical exploration of celestial landscapes such as pulsars, craters, planetary atmospheres, stars, sun and void. Merging the sound worlds of jazz and contemporary classical, and set to real space sounds and projections, it is a unique sonic experience. The ensemble is led by Keyna Wilkins (piano/flute/compositions) with Elsen Price (double bass/loop pedal), Will Gilbert (trumpet) and Carl St Jacques (viola) and includes freely improvised pieces. NASA recordings of electromagnetic waves from planets and stars is the backdrop soundtrack and has been complied by astronomer Professor Paul Francis often with projections of space probe footage. Each member brings their own unique voice to the ensemble drawing from a multitude of musical backgrounds who combine to create a distinctive sound world that organically react to stellar concepts. Universe and Universality.
