Glochids is the long-running sound work alias of James Roemer, originally from Arizona, currently based in Oakland, relocating to New York in 2023. Recordings collage instrumental and field collected layers, with sine waves & bells as a through-line. Live performances focus attention on unexpected coincidental sound events within the surrounding environment. For this site-specific performance, Roemer will be joined by additional percussionists, including Yasi Perera.
Danishta Rivero is an improviser, performer, and multidisciplinary artist based in Oakland, California. Through her sound practice, she explores the artifacts resulting from heavy processing of the voice and their relationship to its acoustic resonance. Rivero’s media work expands this exploration of artifact and object/subject in order to recalibrate conceptualizations of self and the world around us.
Danishta’s artistic practice and inquiry are grounded in and woven from the traditions of experimentalism, free improvisation, electro-acoustic music, performance, multimedia, and sound art.
She is a member of electro-acoustic duo Voicehandler with percussionist Jacob Felix Heule. She is also half of Las Sucias, a feminist tropical noise duo with Alexandra Buschman-Román.

Re:Sound is an experimental music series which explores the relationship between forgotten spaces, sound abstraction and the natural environment. Re:Sound emerges in the Mare Island Historic Core with a new space surrounded by historic buildings and ships. Prior to this the series took place on the Mare Island Shoreline Heritage Preserve, a 215-acre park that formerly served as one of the first Naval Ammunition Depots. The event was held in a concrete munitions storage magazine measuring 55'x100' with ceilings over 15'. The architecture of the building traps sound resulting in a prolonged reverberation.
