About the artists

Nels Cline (b. 1956, Los Angeles) has been messing around with the guitar since he was 12, so he’s been at it for 57 years. His zig-zag path has seen him in the stylistic and aesthetic realms of rock, jazz, exploratory improvised music, and psych, with some leaning into country and ambient areas now and again. Best known for his presence in the band Wilco the last 21 years, Nels also leads his two groups The Nels Cline Singers and Consentrik Quartet and collaborates with many improvisers when he’s not out with Wilco. He has also played on an ungodly number of recordings in the last four decades.
Yuka Honda is a composer, producer, and sonic innovator whose work defies genre and convention. Co-founder of the trailblazing duo Cibo Matto, she has since forged a solo path that blends electronic experimentation, improvisational depth, infectious rhythm, and abstract storytelling. She describes her music as quantum, continuum, and sensory—a fluid exploration of sound as both narrative and experience. Like a book or a film, her compositions invite the listener into a story: shifting through contrasting emotions, spaces, and textures to create an unfolding journey.
