DOMI + KAITLIN MCSWEENEY + K. FRANCIS MESSER
Ken Ueno + Matt Ingalls

DOMI, KAITLIN MCSWEENEY, and K. FRANCIS MESSER are an experimental trio blending electro-acoustic composition and improvisation with prepared drums, scrap metal, cello, movement, voice, amplifiers, and salvaged resonant objects. Out of a receptive summoning, distinct voices emerge and impress upon each other, moving with and in contrast, inter-penetrating and gravitating towards a common orbit of evolving conditions. The trio welcomes sonic feedback as a fourth collaborator with elements of ritualistic repetition and deep listening.


For over a decade, the duo of Ken Ueno (vocals) and Matt Ingalls (clarinet) has presented their unique arsenal of extended techniques for an experience that defies classical expectations of sounds that can be made on voice and clarinet. Composer/vocalist/sound artist Ueno is a recipient of the Rome Prize and the Berlin Prize and currently a Professor at UC Berkeley. He sings overtones, multi-band multiphonics, sub-tones, and throat sings. Oakland-based Ingalls' clarinet technique includes circular-breathing, multiphonics, various breath effects, and a unique hybrid-timbre polyphonic effect.
