Monday Night Creative Music: Angela Winter plus Dylan Mantione and Aaron Kruziki
Angela Winter creates ambient, experimental, and ritual music for thresholds, where synths, keys, and strings meet otherworldly vocals, hypnotic drones, and shimmering overtones. Her music has been described as “beautifully haunting” (Bandcamp Daily) and featured in First Floor by Shawn Reynaldo, zensounds by Stephan Kunze, and The Moderns by Kevin Press. She lives in Carrboro, North Carolina, and in addition to her own shows and festival performances, she has shared stages with Norman Westberg (Swans) and John Cale (The Velvet Underground). Her live performances invite audiences to join in collective rituals of letting go and lucid dreaming.
Plus a duet of Dylan Mantione (vibrphone) and Aaron Kruziki (woodwinds)

BROTHERKENZIE w/ Dirt Buyer
Brotherkenzie is the solo output from Minneapolis producer and songwriter Nathan Stocker – and, through the project, lives in the shadows, operating on the outskirts of the music industry, something he’s grown increasingly less interested in as he ages. Brotherkenzie’s music is a chasm carved from honesty and earnestness, the result teetering between catchiness and pop, but with sharp edges.

SPLIT SILK 'Be the Divine' LP Release Show w/ 22LR, Envilittle & boycat
Listening to Split Silk’s Be the Divine following their previous series of EPs is like stepping out of sepia-toned Kansas into the technicolor world of Oz. Be the Divine is post-hardcore with an unabashed feminine perspective on our connection with the natural world, technology-induced detachment, and existing outside of society's arbitrary standards for normality. 2024’s Bitter EP offered a taste of what Split Silk could sound like as a trio. Lucca Cassandra Carver fronts the band on guitars and vocals with Will Morris and Lucía Alejandra Carreño joining her on drums and bass respectively. Split Silk is the first band where these three are playing these roles. That, alongside the trio’s faith in each other as creative partners brings a liberatory quality to their craft. You can hear them embodying the utopian ideals they espouse all throughout Be the Divine. Carver is a classicist for the great mid-century American songwriters, that reverence sees her writing post-hardcore that is as indebted to the Brill Building’s crafted arrangements as it is to Unwound’s feedback-soaked riffs. Be the Divine, is a righteous call to shed your fears and embrace the spiritually rich world we deserve and there is not a better example found in this world.

Nicholas Krolak - LIVE
“A different kind of songwriter—perhaps a different kind of jazz musician altogether. He’s like the bass playing, modern embodiment of Walt Whitman. And, just as Whitman used his prose poems, Krolak uses his music to celebrate and also reconcile the competing and contradictory nature of the two worlds he straddles: the natural and the urban."

Ak'chamel w/ Franks

Monday Night Creative Music Series: Chamber Cartel plus Jordan Benator
Chamber Cartel is proud to present the world premieres of three newly commissioned works! Listen by Nick Demos is a multi-movement quasi-jazz quartet (Saxophone, Upright Bass, Marimba, and Percussion) that serves as a bit of a warning. Throughout recorded history, humanity has watched helplessly as the darker nature of our souls unravel the nobility of our civilization. One by one, great empires have arisen and flourished over the many centuries only to ultimately succumb to the worst versions of ourselves. Larvae by Jordan Benator is an open instrumentation, variable length work that explores the gestation of an idea over the course of the piece. Machine City Z by Christopher Adler is scored for Alto Flute, Viola, Piano (with preparations), and Percussion. This three movement work is filled with rhythmic activity, hocketing, interlocking rhythms, and engaging textures.

SH!TOMATO
A collision of noise rock, psychedelia, trip hop, and jazz, SHITOMATO resists simple classification, drawing listeners into a swirling sonic world of hypnotic rhythms and organized chaos. The record embraces the unexpected, seamlessly transitioning from heavy, distorted soundscapes to haunting downtempo grooves and sharp improvisational moments. Anchored by one half of veteran Already Dead mainstays Comfort Food, the project delivers an unrefined, experimental edge that bridges the gap between composition and spontaneity.
Peopling
The solo outlet of Ronnie Gonzalez, a veteran Already Dead contributor and half of the iconic duo Video Daughters, who relocated from New York City to the Pacific Northwest.
