On March 1, Sound Praxis presents an evening of adventurous electronic music! Featuring Scottish/Arizona-based Lauren Sarah Hayes, Michelle Lou, and T Putnam Hill, this event brings together live electronics, field recordings and sound collage, embodied performance, and more. This presentation is generously hosted by Folk Arts Rare Records in City Heights! Lauren Sarah Hayes is a Scottish improviser, sound artist, and scholar who is recognized for her embodied approach to computer music. Her music is a mix of experimental pop/live electronics/techno/noise/free improvisation and has been described as ‘voracious’ and ‘exhilarating’. As a live sound sculptor, she manipulates, remixes, and bends voice, drum machines, analogue synths and self-built software. She has toured extensively across Europe and North America, including as part of her tenure with the New BBC Radiophonic Workshop. Her work has been released on Superpang, Hard Return, Pan Y Rosas Discos, LOL Editions, Werra Foxma, Sunwarped, and Harmonic Ooze Records. Michelle Lou composes mainly in the realm of electro-acoustic music, both in hardware and in computer based forms. She has also created large scale sound installations which are often performative and collaborative. She performs and improvises on acoustic and electric bass, electric guitar, and on laptop and various electronics. Her work has been presented at Wien Modern, Donaueschinger Musiktage, Darmstadt Ferienkurse, Bludenzer Tage zeitgemäßer Musik, The Festival of New American Music (Sacramento), the MATA Festival (New York City), The 66th American Music Festival at the National Gallery in Washington D.C., The Rainy Days Festival (Luxembourg), Ultima Festival (Oslo), Chance and Circumstance (Brooklyn), Klub Katarakt (Hamburg), Klangwerkstatt and MaerzMusik (both in Berlin), amongst others. T Putnam Hill is a writer, editor, guitarist, and electroacoustic musician currently based in Austin, Texas. In recordings and performance, Hill produces impromptu audio collages of various sound materials—from live guitar to field recordings to feedback loops—to create auditory environments that drift between stasis and disorder, from harmonic to discordant, and from the organic to synthetic. Hill is an active member of Phonography Austin, a sound arts organization dedicated to the exploration of phonography and acoustic ecology, and founder of Loma Editions, a nascent multimedia label focused on electroacoustic music and experimental literature.

Elizabeth Hospice Grief Counselors and special guest Robin Sol Lieberman invite you to a gentle workshop inspired by the ancient Japanese art of mending broken pottery with gold. Join us for Without Words: The Gentle Art of Kintsugi, Saturday, March 7, from 2 – 3:30 p.m. in North Park. Through guided breathwork and hands-on creation, participants will explore wholeness, resilience, and the beauty that can emerge from life’s fractures. Together, the group will create a single, shared kintsugi bowl, symbolizing our collective humanity and the truth that brokenness and beauty can coexist. This offering is open to grieving hearts of all ages, requires no prior art experience, and is free of charge. All materials are provided. Space is limited; reservations are required. Please RSVP to community@ehospice.org. Elizabeth Hospice on Facebook / Instagram

In this six-week course we will use all forms of artistic expression – theater, movement, visual art, writing, sound – to deepen self-connection through creative practice. Each session, participants will be guided through a progression of exercises and activities that utilize one or more of these art forms. Activities are designed to foster self discovery, connection, and transformation as we bring our internal selves gently into the external through the supportive structure of the arts. The course is for anyone looking to spur change in their lives, whether big or small. No prior experience in any art form is needed. Participants come as they are, ready to embrace whatever arises, whether it is splattering blobs of paint, wiggling around like a worm, or discovering the wild dance of their pinky finger. For reduced price registration see our Increasing Access page. Each activity invites participants to find joy in the act of creation, silliness through letting go, and deep insight through watching what arises. Participants go through all six weeks together, building trust, connecting, and community as they discover new ways to be in themselves. Mockingbird Improv on Facebook / Instagram

There are moments standing on a high ledge where wild space beckons. In that moment, instinct stirs: “What if I just jumped?” It’s been described as “the call of the void,” an experience somehow more primal than even feeling or urge. On her new album, "Precipice" (due July 25 via Loma Vista), Indigo De Souza looks over the creative and spiritual cliff and just leaps. The North Carolina native is a prolific, poetic singer-songwriter who already has three albums and four EPs in just seven years, with her most recent full-length (2023's "All of This Wild End") earning rave reviews for her daring vocals and thrilling songwriting. But on her latest, De Souza hears the void calling and calls back, taking control of difficult memories and charged emotions via pop bombast and diaristic clarity, and finding a stronger self.
