Some imi­tate the past, while oth­ers divine inspi­ra­tion and trans­mit it else­where. Angel Der­adoo­ri­an embod­ies the lat­ter idea, syn­the­siz­ing faint hints of Alice Coltrane and Can, Ter­ry Riley and Dorothy Ash­by. As the for­mer bassist, key­boardist and vocal­ist for Dirty Pro­jec­tors, Deradoorian’s lev­i­tat­ing vocals mem­o­rably buoyed the Brook­lyn-based group. Der­adoo­ri­an has also been a mem­ber of Avey Tare’s Slash­er Flicks, sang on Fly­ing Lotus’ “Siren Song,” and col­lab­o­rat­ed with Vam­pire Week­end, Björk, Mat­mos, the Roots, and oth­ers. Her first song col­lec­tion, 2009’s Mind Raft EP, elicit­ed praise from Pitch­fork for being “pas­sion­ate and lov­ing­ly craft­ed.” The Fad­er hailed her “zen weed ener­gy” and “moody dervish spi­rals.” Her debut LP, The Expand­ing Flower Plan­et reflect­ed a remark­able cre­ative jour­ney, while her lat­est, the entranc­ing and seis­mic Eter­nal Recur­rence, is a tes­ta­ment to an artist who found new depths both with­in her­self and in her process through allow­ing her­self to be dri­ven entire­ly by instinct.

Lea Bertuc­ci is a com­pos­er, per­former and sound design­er whose work describes rela­tion­ships between acoustic phe­nom­e­na and bio­log­i­cal res­o­nance. In addi­tion to her instru­men­tal prac­tice with wood­wind instru­ments, she often incor­po­rates mul­ti-chan­nel speak­er arrays, elec­troa­coustic feed­back, extend­ed instru­men­tal tech­nique and tape col­lage. In recent years, her projects have expend­ed toward site-respon­sive and site-spe­cif­ic son­ic inves­ti­ga­tions of archi­tec­ture. Deeply exper­i­men­tal, her work is unafraid to sub­vert musi­cal expec­ta­tion. Where her pre­vi­ous work inves­ti­gat­ed a vari­ety of loca­tions around the globe, her lat­est, Res­o­nant Field, nar­rows her focus to one space in par­tic­u­lar: the Marine A Grain Ele­va­tor at Silo City in Buf­fa­lo, New York. Bertucci’s goal was to excite and acti­vate the mas­sive, cav­ernous space, once active, noisy, loud, and filled with kinet­ic ener­gy but now lay­ing dor­mant as a silent, hulk­ing con­crete corpse.
