Pennies from Heaven, a collaboration between Control and Bánh Mì Verlag, is a new series focused on contemporary experimental culture with an emphasis on the liminal and the underrepresented.
Asha Sheshadri is a California-bred artist primarily concerned with memory construction and questions of translation. With a strong investment in archival material, she works at the intersection of speech synthesis, sound poetry and field recording. Her essayistic recordings and performances layer lost and silenced histories, original writing and text sourced from found documents and thinkers she admires, creating an environment of musical and non-musical backdrops in which "sources shine through like light beams where they could easily be buried in fog."
Sheshadri has released work (as well as under the project titles Isolde Touch and Open Corner) via several imprints including Entr'acte Recordings, Recital Program, with a forthcoming release on Anomia.
Please note that space is limited to 50, and seating is on a first come first serve basis. After 7pm, reserved tickets may be distributed to standbys. Performance will promptly start at 7:15; once the performance begins no entry will be permitted. Do not be late. Suggested donation is on a sliding scale from $7 - $15.
"Gamechanger Audio Brought their Plasma Pedal by our shop in Burbank CA so we could make a video with it. We ran a drum machine, synth and guitar through it. The Plasma Pedal runs your audio through a high voltage xenon tube, which not only makes for a great sounding distortion, but looks cool as well.
"The DSI Pro 2 now has linear FM! A new OS update was released recently (v1.4) which includes linear FM as well as a bunch of other features. In this video I'll focus on the FM part. Previously it only had exponential FM which is the one for making inharmonic metalic sounds. Linear FM is like the Yamaha DX7 FM where you can play notes."
