Jeremy Toussaint-Baptiste / Evicshen

Performance at 7:30pm

Due to the renovations at The Lab, we expect the space to not be usable on the originally scheduled date. In-line with the Wattis’s ongoing research season on the topic of LABOR, we would like to keep this performance at the historic San Francisco Labor Temple, and have decided to move the event to 7:30pm on Tuesday, March 10.

Audience members are welcome to join us on the campus of the California College of the Arts at 6pm for Jeremy Toussaint-Baptiste’s performance Unmarked Car, and travel afterward to The Lab by foot (approx. 30 minutes) or by taking the 22 MUNI Bus from 16th St. & Wisconsin St. to Mission St. The performance at The Lab will start approximately 30-45 minutes after the prior performance concludes.

Artists Jeremy Toussaint-Baptiste and Evicshen collaborate to create a sonic space that reframes sound as both a tool for subverting power and a site of collective possibility. Toussaint-Baptiste’s repurposing of a Long Range Acoustic Device (LRAD), a technology commonly used by military and police forces for crowd control, becomes a mechanism for gathering and collective experience. In dialogue with him are Evicshen’s self-built instruments, which, through physically exertive performance, explore the affective dimensions of noise, creating a soundscape that oscillates between chaos and control. Toussaint-Baptiste and Evicshen’s performance is co-presented by The Lab and The Wattis Institute.

Gwenifer Raymond + Tashi Dorji

Wales born, Brighton-based instrumentalist Gwenifer Raymond is a celebrated champion of the finger-picked guitar. She has drawn international acclaim for her repurposing of Mississippi blues and John Fahey’s intricate Americana to embody her roots in rural South Wales and her interests in folk horror and the avant garde, inventing a new form dubbed Welsh Primitive. The Guardian has described her as a “profound talent” whilst The Observer has praised her “awe-inspiring technique and intense musicality”, and Uncut Magazine has championed her “fast-developing talents as a composer of eerie menace.”

Tashi Dorji is a Bhutanese-born, Asheville-based experimental guitarist whose fiercely intuitive improvisations have carved out a unique space in the contemporary avant-garde.

Lucrecia Dalt + Marielle Jakobsons

Lucrecia Dalt’s background as a geotechnical engineer informs her scientific process to music. The Colombia-born, Berlin-based sound artist explores planetary source material within her solo work, most notably on 2022’s ¡Ay!. A composer for both HBO series and experimental films, the Dalt’s thought-provoking, multidisciplinary performances have taken place in art galleries and concert halls around the world.

A Danger to Ourselves features a rich collaborative cast, with David Sylvian joining as co-producer and guitarist on select tracks. Vocal contributions from Juana Molina, Camille Mandoki, and Eliana Joy appear throughout, while the instrumental landscape is shaped by Cyrus Campbell on upright and electric bass and Chris Jonas on saxophone.

The album title comes from Sylvian's lyrics in "cosa rara," reflecting themes of life's fragility, love's oscillations, and the desire for liberation from everyday patterns toward more meaningful inner experiences. Mastered by Heba Kadry in NYC, A Danger to Ourselves represents both a culmination of Dalt's previous work and a new direction—a space where her sonic explorations converge into something intimate yet expansive, personal yet universally resonant.

Marielle V. Jakobsons is an award-winning composer and interdisciplinary artist known for creating immersive, transportive sound worlds. Blending lush synthesizers and expressive strings her music interweaves minimalistic patterns with moving melodies.

Her latest album The Patterns Lost to Air (Thrill Jockey, Feb 2026) unfolds as a resonant world of pulse, shimmer, and melodic bloom. The work asks: What happens when we release our grip on familiar patterns—in sound, in self, in memory—and allow them to transform in the air around us?

Moin are a three-piece based in London that comprises of Tom Halstead and Joe Andrews of the band Raime (Blackest Ever Black, RR) and percussionist Valentina Magaletti who operates over a great range of projects such as Vanishing Twin, Tomaga and Lafawandah.

The band navigate a revolving set of influences from obvious touch points such as alt rock, post-punk, art-rock and doom metal to more abstract ideas found in improv and found sound recording. In addition to these more closely related areas, shades of electronic music are still present providing a constant dialogue between the two practices.

The sound is direct but subtly re-assembled.
