**Kara-Lis Coverdale** performs material from her recent solo piano album *A Series of Actions in a Sphere of Forever* (Smalltown Supersound), with an opening performance by cellist-vocalist **Theresa Wong**, utilizing The Lab’s open space and quadraphonic surround sound setup.
**Kara-Lis Coverdale** composes and performs musical works across acoustic and electronic mediums to create works that transcend reality. Driven by a devotion to sonic afterlife, memory, and material curiosity, Coverdale’s work occupies new planes built upon a borderless understanding of electronic music rooted in the interlocking pathways of musical systems and languages.
As a solo performer, **Theresa Wong** illuminates the vast sonorities of the cello and voice, unearthing raw vibrations that draw upon the primal sentience of the natural world and sensations of genetic sonic memory. Described as “…at once transcendent and firmly rooted to the sensuous earth” (A Closer Listen), her work draws upon the question: "how can I rediscover the core of the cello as wood and string and hair, or even simply as a tree?" Exploring the areas of amplification, extreme detuning, and just intonation, Wong reveals the intricate microcosms of the cello and voice as expansive fields of possibility.
