WHAIT (MORE EAZE + WENDY EISENBERG), BOW AND ARROW (LEA BERTUCCI + MICHAEL BEHARI), K8A

Bow and Arrow is the newly formed duo project of experimental composer Lea Bertucci (voice, electronics, flutes) and virtuoso guitarist Michael Beharie. This project takes cues from the obscure corners of western early music, flamenco, folk traditions and contemporary experimental music. Bow and Arrow is devotional music for the age of alienation. K8A (Kaethe Hostetter) creates immersive solo performances for violin, voice, and electronics informed by decades of musical exchange with Ethiopia. Layering live looping, song, improvisation, and at times field recordings and projections, she builds richly textured works that move between folk traditions and experimental sound. Her recent album Woradj Alle: Impressions of Ethiopia for Solo Violin and Electronics explores memory, place, and cultural transmission through a deeply personal electroacoustic practice.
