repeat until true feat. Zach Cooper, Maria Chavez, and odeya nini
Repeat Until True — Album Release + Performance
Join us for an evening of deep listening and sonic transformation as artists Maria Chavez, Zach Cooper, and Odeya Nini celebrate the release of Repeat Until True. The artists will open the event with a hands-on workshop, revealing the experimental processes and techniques behind their sound. The trio will then take the stage for a live performance that moves between voice, contrabass, and turntable abstraction. To close the night, Maria Chavez returns to the decks for a DJ set built for movement and release.

Chuck Johnson | Clarice Jensen
Composer/cellist Clarice Jensen and composer/multi-instrumentalist Chuck Johnson team up for a shared bill, performing separately and in a brand new collaboration.
In the spring of 2026 Chuck Johnson will be presenting live renditions of a new work titled Caoineadh. This series of performances and live mixes shared online seeks new pathways into composition and improvisation and draws from DJ techniques, wordless voices, voiceless laments, and pulses suggested by negative spaces.
Performing on cello with effects pedals, Clarice Jensen presents music from her acclaimed new album, In holiday clothing, out of the great darkness. Her fourth full length album, it was released on FatCat/130701 Records in October 2025, and draws abstract inspiration from the Suites of JS Bach, placing the rich sonority of the cello at the fore but carefully treating and layering the timbres to create a "kaleidoscopic, surging cathedral of sound" as described by NPR's Tom Huizenga.
Hand on the Bay is a new collaborative project for Jensen and Johnson. The work is organized by a graphic score that renders the harmonic material of 16 bars of Willie Nelson's Red Headed Stranger over the course of 24 ambient minutes.

micromachines
MICROMACHINES is our legendary open jam series dedicated to compact creativity. Each month, we invite performers to bring a short (under 15-minute) set built around one small piece of hardware—think samplers, grooveboxes, synths, or other handheld rigs. Effects pedals and multiple devices are welcome, as long as your setup runs to a single stereo (L/R) output or you can submix yourself. Space is limited, so arrive early to sign up. And keep in mind that setup time is minimal—please come ready to plug in and go. Now, enough rules! Get weird!
