About this Event

Faker Villain are back for the final night of their springtime residency. Improvising live jazz electronica, they blend dance music, spiritual groove, sonic exploration and disruption to expectation. They take influence from IDM, contemporary jazz, free jazz, hindustani classical music, experimental classical, progressive metal and more from all corners of genre to form their distinctive sound. For fans of The Comet is Coming, Mammal Hands, John Carroll Kirby and GoGo Penguin.

Featuring:

Faye Thompson on Saxophone, Bass Clarinet, and Electronics

Kavi Maraj on Bass and Electronics

Dillon Harrison on Drums and Percussion

For their final date, they will be supported by the incredible Yumé NET.

As our lives move more and more online, the boundaries between the natural and digital world become increasingly blurry. Yumé NET is interested in interrogating these boundaries. Whether it's in her research as a bioelectronics PhD student developing electronics that interface with the human nervous system. Or in her music, where she crafts coruscating and otherworldly musical landscapes that explore the question of what it means to be human in an increasingly online society. Using a meld of modern jazz and experimental electronic music as a framework, Yumé sets out to tell stories about the very personal and very human aspects of her life (platonic love, trans joy, identity, bigotry, community) and how technology has transformed them. Tender but heavy, calculated but full of love, her music invites the listener to join her in exploring what lies between and beyond the 0s and 1s.
