Andy Boay, Saadia Rais, Gull, Danny Shyti

Andy Boay is the solo project of Andy White, Orlando-native / one-time Montrealer / full-time New Yorker. He has played in the duo Tonstartssbandht since 2007, and has been recording and performing psychedelic music since his teen years. These days he records on his 8-track cassette machine at home in the East Village of Manhattan and self-releases his albums, making video art on the side for fun. Saadia Rais is an experimental multimedia performance artist. Her act includes live analog soundscapes crafted from affected vocal loops and various noise sources, dance, light design, handmade costumes, video projections, and audience ritual. Outlined by vacant drones and stirred in shifting rhythms, Danny Shyti's performance blends live drumming with an opaque collage of found sounds. Gull is “best described as a drum; a living, breathing drum of flesh on fire that cries out assorted tongues of creatures past and delivers it from a single unique perspective; a communal music broadcast of blood and bile left as an offering on the altar of sound.”
