Bow and Arrow (Lea Bertucci & Michael Behari):
Bow and Arrow is the newly formed duo project of experimental composer Lea Bertucci (voice, electronics, flutes) and virtuoso guitarist Michael Beharie. This project takes cues from the obscure corners of western early music, flamenco, folk traditions and contemporary experimental music. Bow and Arrow is devotional music for the age of alienation.
Lea Bertucci is an experimental musician whose works revolve around electronic and spatial extensions of instrument and voice. In addition to her longstanding practice performing with woodwinds, she has created compositions for strings, brass, percussion and other instruments, often incorporating electronics and multichannel sound. With an ear toward site-responsiveness and acoustics, her work has expanded toward installation and non-linear presentations of her music, often staged in hyper-resonant spaces.
Her discography spans over a decade, with eight full-length solo albums and a number of collaborative projects. She has released on a number of labels including Astral Spirits, Room40, American Dreams and Dinzu Artefacts. In 2018 and 2019, she released solo albums Metal Aether and Resonant Field on NNA Tapes, and has since founded her own label, Cibachrome Editions, with 2021’s A Visible Length of Light as the inaugural release. Recent collaborations include duos with Lawrence English, Olivia Block, Carlos Giffoni and Ben Vida, among others.
Michael Beharie is a musician based in New York City. His music sits at the imagined intersection between sound system culture, pop transmission and free improvisation.
Angel Meat (Anna Young & Myles Donovan):
Harsh Thanatology? Post Opera? Or maybe just a Maria Callas tape eating itself alive while drinking cough syrup. Regardless, Angel Meat is a duo from Philadelphia consisting of vocalist Anna Young (Layer Meat/Hermit High Priestess) and harpist Myles Donovan (Disemballerina/Narco Medusa/A stick and a stone) accompanied by a chaotic pet poltergeist of electro acoustic feedback. Part improv, part song. Part structure, part disintegration. Movements of decay, movements of recovery. Spiritual exorcism, shaking the bars of its fleshy prison. Authentic Queers and Phony virgins. Rising from the ashes of Antigone. Ultimately, we're all just Angel Meat as far as mortality goes, and we thank you for being here.
