Visible Cloaks: Paradessence
Experience Paradessence, the latest from Visible Cloak, a shimmering journey of emergence and illusion unfolding in a luminous, hyperreal nocturne.
Paradessence, Visible Cloaks’ third full-length, is a work of emergence and illusion. The album’s fourteen songs shift, heave, and shimmer against a faintly luminous backdrop of night, a cavernous space shaped by sparse hyperreal representations of the natural world. The arrangements are simultaneously grandiose and fragile, both an inversion and culmination of what came before and as adventurous as anything they’ve produced so far.
Opening the evening is San Francisco Bay Area based composer and performer Madalyn Merkey, whose recent work observes the principles of acoustic instruments and material spaces to design real-time soundsynthesis programs for site-specific performances.
