Haptic
Across two decades of restless experimentation, the Chicago trio Haptic has earned a reputation for meticulously assembled recordings that are complemented by unpredictable, often riveting live performances. Consistently blurring the line between different genres and disciplines, Haptic’s practice has expanded to include collaborations with dancers and filmmakers, soundtracks, installations, and unique site-specific performances, and they are as likely to be found performing in a gallery or museum as a bar or concert hall. Throughout the fall of 2025, the group will stage a series of unique events to celebrate their 20th anniversary, beginning in Chicago and continuing with a tour of the UK. In concert, the trio is frequently joined by a different rotating fourth member, and here they will be accompanied by artist, composer, and performer Sarah Hughes.
“Indescribably beautiful” –The Wire
“Mesmerizing, totally engrossing” –Boomkat
“Sheer artistry, plain and simple” – Decoder

Sarah Hughes
Sarah Hughes is an artist, composer and musician producing work that explores the boundaries of compositional practice, moving between drawing, sculpture, installation, and performance. Her work has been performed internationally, often played by and with musicians similarly interested in the mutability of disciplines. She has written for numerous experimental music ensembles, including Apartment House, Extradition, Southland, Ordinary Affects, and Distractfold. Across exhibitions, performances, residencies and commissions, Hughes has worked with London Contemporary Music Festival; Counterflows; Huddersfield Contemporary Music Festival; South London Gallery; Musée d’Arts de Nantes; Cafe Oto; King’s Place; and Holywell Music Hall, among others.

Paul Khimasia Morgan
Paul Khimasia Morgan is an improvising musician, recording engineer and visual artist. As well as being a third of Bee Reiki Trio with Faradena Afifi and Steve Beresford, he has worked creatively with Blanca Regina, Richard Sanderson, Jason Kahn, Charlotte Keefe, Cristiàn Alvear, Klaus Janek, Ryu Hankil, Simon Whetham, and Gus Garside; is a participant in the groups TIDES (with Paul May, Peter Marsh and Daniel Spicer) and Mark Wastell's THE SEEN. He currently has a duo with Adam Bushell which “…continue their explorations in dialogue between vibraphone and acoustic guitar body and electronics…” They are currently recording an album for Rose Hill Records.
Paul has previous work available on Discus, Hard Return, Minimal Resource Manipulation (MRM), Lonely Impulse, Linear Obsessional, Crónica, The Spirit of Gravity, Korm Plastics, Con-V, Absence of Wax, TSOKL and Confront Recordings.
Since 2010, Paul organises Aural Detritus Concert Series (adcs) events; heading a team that organised three “micro-festivals” of improvised music, composition and sound art at Brighton Phoenix art gallery from 2012 to 2014. These “micro-festivals” will resume in April 2026. Aural Detritus developed into an occasional – often site-specific – concert series with an associated digital imprint to release recordings made at adcs events.
Paul hosted the podcast The Archive of Aural Detritus during Covid Lockdown. He writes about new music for The Sound Projector magazine and Honest Music For Dishonest Times and in 2022 contributed writing on contemporary Chinese sound-artists to the book Perfection Of Understanding. Paul has lectured at Brighton University and the University of Surrey.
“…feedback-like tones rising carefully amid a cloud of metal thorns…more physicality than most you hear, which gives the performance some nice faux visual weight…” – Byron Coley in The Wire magazine.
