About the event
Bloody Wednesday is a night to invoke the symbolic, etheric, and physical manifestations of menstruation and the process and pain involved with shedding projected futures, past identities, and unknowable potentials. Highlighting performers who express work that contains abstract wisdom, chaotic form, and other non-linear qualities that patriarchal society has long associated with Feminine evils, on each new moon which falls on a Wednesday we climb back into the womb and release our collective fear of the dark.
SNDS TALsounds "Warm, aqueous synthesizer tones and oscillating electronic lines probe and harmonize in patient, shifting patterns as her often wordless vocals—clearly influenced by the liquid lyric quality of Bjork—ripple through those aforementioned elusive structures in looped and reverberant flurries that are as fleeting as the keyboard patterns she endlessly conjures." - Peter Margasak on recent release, Lifter + Lighter http://talsounds.com/
Blessed Blood (Seattle) Blessed Blood is an electronics-based project by Seattle's Rachel LeBlanc. Utilizing hardware effects to expand upon the natural resonances of singing, she processes harmonies into "noise hymns," wherein ethereal vocals glide above pulsations and sharp angles. The sound is informed by the artist's life-long home of the PNW, traditional music forms and choral assemblies, and the exploration of history both personal and cultural, resulting in what is at once familiar and unsettling. https://www.facebook.com/blessedbloodmusic/
