Ash Fure opens ANIMAL [a listening gym] at Pioneer Works this Saturday. The show transforms the Main Hall into a sensory circuit built from repurposed gym equipment. I am building Saturday around the opening. Earlier in the week, Lambkin performs a Roulette commission Wednesday night exploring new Black sonic forms. Body Hack and Sweaty Sticky Sweet bring an all-night Juneteenth celebration of Black dance music to Signal on Friday. Together they make this Juneteenth week worth showing up for, especially if you love music. |
