Night Music: cellist Zoe Keating and painter Yvette Molina
Zoe Keating: looped cello
Yvette Molina: paintings
Jeff Rusch and Okeanos: projectionists
Zoe Keating layers the natural sound of her cello to create a densely textured, rhythmically and melodically rich soundscape. Her music, at once restrained and emotionally powerful, appeals to a wide spectrum of listeners, from fans of post-rock to acoustic ambient to classical. Zoe Keating is also a member of RASPUTINA, and her playing can be heard on discs by the likes of CHARLES ATLAS, TARENTEL, JOHN VANDERSLICE, LAUGHINGSTOCK, and more.
Yvette Molina's meticulously rendered oil paintings are both a celebration of nature and an invitation to consider its tenuous existence. Inspired by traditional Chinese landscape painting, Molina's work comes from detailed observations and recordings of plants, vistas and sky experienced in her own backyard in Oakland, California. The works are painted on aluminum panels which reflect light through twenty to thirty layers of paint, creating a deep luminosity. Molina's restrained, slate-like palette holds the work in a meditative, abstract domain where beauty is company to reflection on loss and possibility, regret and hope
Jeff Rusch and Okeanos have converted 48 of Yvette's paintings to digital form and will project them on multiple screens while Zoe performs a live soundtrack, creating an immersive environment of sight and sound.
