-------

Muyassar Kurdi ...drone, noise, and ambient experimentation, animated by her keening vocal delivery and the tones of her autoharp processed into sheets of reverbed caterwaul. Her irregular tunings and heavy effects manipulation render the autoharp an atonal self-accompanist, possessed of fine-grain details and a mix-consuming dynamic range that fixes our attention somewhere between claustrophobic discomfort and liberation. Kurdi’s voice escapes in a theatrical bellow that evokes Diamanda Galás’s plague mass invocations as it floats over the din in clear and ringing tones. -Tiny Mix Tapes

Head Boggle: performing electronic keyboard-based soundscapes ... to fuse together a new ecstatic improvisational performance style

Christina Stanley makes music and sounds generated by herself and her environment, using sound sources and manipulating them using live processing, vocals and string playing. Chaotic and churning or textural or melodic, her ideas are conveyed through carefully planned and sometimes surprising narratives.
