About:
REFLECTIONS presents a night with electronic artist Steve Hauschildt, co-founder of legendary kosmiche trio Emeralds. Canadian composer Kara-Lis Coverdale opens the night with a set for shapeshifting electronics. We’ll pair their performances with a projection-mapped light show, transforming this historic church — and ourselves — in a state of reverential beauty.

STEVE HAUSCHILDT is an electronic musician based in Tbilisi, Georgia. As a founding member of Emeralds, the influential ambient synth experimentalist trio from Cleveland, Ohio, he explored a sublime astral sound indebted to cosmic forebears like Tangerine Dream and Steve Roach.
Since Emeralds paused activity in 2013, Hauschildt has released a stream of critically acclaimed solo albums. In 2011, he released his debut LP with Kranky Records, Tragedy & Geometry, an album inspired by Greek muses and the disposability of technology. In 2013, Editions Mego released S/H, an extensive anthology of rare and unreleased works from Hauschildt’s archives. Ghostly International released Dissolvi in 2018, which included “Saccade,” a touching collaboration with singer Julianna Barwick.
In 2025 Hauschildt returned from a 6-year break with Aeropsia, the first release on his new label Simul. Aeropsia (which translates from the Greek as “seeing the air”) refers to a visual phenomenon in which objects appear to float or shimmer, often due to neurological disturbances. Arpeggios climb to heaven, glittering synth sequences pulse, and saturated pads invite introspection toward a system on the brink of collapse.

KARA-LIS COVERDALE composes and performs musical works across acoustic and electronic mediums to create works that transcend reality. She has worked as organist and music director at several churches across Canada since age 13, where she has also served as choir conductor.
Across her solo albums from Sirens (2015, Umor Rex) to From Where You Came (2025, Smalltown Supersound), Coverdale is 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.
Aside from her solo works, Coverdale has written film and theater scores, collaborated with Tim Hecker, Actress, and Lyra Pramuk, and performed in the Promises Ensemble with Floating Points, Shabaka Hutchings, and Kieran Hebden.
