For two years straight, this meet-up has pulled in everyone from heavy-hitter artists to folks just picking up a pencil for the first time. No pressure, no assignments, no ego—just a chance to draw, hang out, swap ideas, and be around people who actually get why you’re obsessed with making things. Happens every week on, exclusively at EYEDRUM. Good vibes only!

Monday Night Creative Music Series: Shane Parish

Shane Parish is a guitarist, composer, improviser, and interpreter whose work focuses on the translation of music across traditions, canons, and technologies. Known for his precise and expressive fingerstyle technique and his nuanced approach to transcription, Parish treats interpretation as a compositional practice, using existing works as material for structural and sonic transformation.

His recent solo recordings center on recontextualizing music not originally written for guitar. Autechre Guitar (2026, Palilalia Records) presents acoustic fingerstyle arrangements of music by the English electronic duo Autechre. REPERTOIRE (2024) applies the same methodology to works by composers and artists including Alice Coltrane, John Cage, Aphex Twin, Kraftwerk, Ornette Coleman, and Charles Mingus. Solo at Café OTO (2025, Red Eft Records) documents a live electric guitar performance of English and American folk ballads.

Monday Night Creative Music Series: Austin Englehardt & be not afraid plus Andrew Loveless and Kyle Smith (Blotten)

be not afraid

Be Not Afraid is the moniker of Corey A. Curtis’ decentralizing folk art practice. Relying heavily on handmade “noise boxes” built of salvaged materials and open source circuits designed by artist such as Peter Blasser, Ida Hiršenfelder, Martin Freeman, Travis Johns, etc., Be Not Afraid utilizes simple transistor oscillators and CMOS logic chips to explore “the letting go of control, anxiety, and perfection.” Dabbling in spatial sound and crowd participation he also likes to blur the lines between audience and performer. But really, it is just about having fun and being surprised because as he admits, “I really don’t know what I am doing.” And that is okay.

Monday Night Creative Music Series: BASrelief plus Cameron Wilson & Friends

BASrelief

BASrelief is a creative music group featuring mandolinist Majid Araim and cellist Benjamin Shirley, with Julian Scott Bryan on percussion. The group seeks to fashion a space for the traditions of jazz, mountain music, and experimental improvisation to interact, with a focus on deep listening, dynamic energy, and collaborative composition.

Cameron Wilson & Friends

Cameron’s music functions as a living ecosystem, organically weaving ambient textures with propulsive beats. His compositions draw from the intricate rhythms of the natural world—from the microscopic pulse of a cell to the grand cycles of the seasons.
Straddling the intersection of spiritual jazz, electronic music, and contemporary-classical, this performance features a preview of Cameron’s upcoming album 'Walking in Place in Circles'.
Come forth and be immersed!

Discontent, Fragmentation, Seasons End, Arkestra, Drawn To Blood

Hailing from the heart of the New York hardcore scene, Discontent has quickly built a reputation for delivering a visceral, "hardcore to the bone" experience that bridges the gap between classic heavy hardcore and the dark intensity of death metal. Often associated with the Streets of Hate roster, the band is known for a sonic profile defined by filthy, muddled guitar tones and pummeling, 90s-inspired production that hits, as fans describe it, "like a truck."

Monday Night Creative Music Series: Tatsuya Nakatani

Monday Night Creative Music Series: Tatsuya Nakatani

Tatsuya Nakatani is an avant-garde percussionist, composer, and artist of sound. Active internationally since the 1990s, Nakatani has released over 80 recordings and tours extensively, performing over 150 concerts a year. His primary focus is his solo work and his large ensemble project, the Nakatani Gong Orchestra. He teaches master classes and lectures at universities and music conservatories around the world. Originally from Japan, he makes his home in the desert town of Truth or Consequences, New Mexico. With his activity in new music, improvisation, and experimental music, Nakatani has a long history of collaboration.

Nakatani's distinctive music centered around his adapted bowed gong, supported by an array of drums, cymbals, and singing bowls. In consort with his personally hand-carved Kobo Bows, he has spent decades refining and developing his sound as an arrangement of formations of vibrations, incorporated in shimmering layers of silence and texture. Within this contemporary work, one can still recognize the dramatic pacing, formal elegance and space (ma) felt in traditional Japanese music.

In Memories, Stress Spells (NJ), .22LR, Sects (CHI), Mail (CHI), How to Set a Fire and Why

Eyedrum hosts an explosive six-band bill that surveys the landscape of modern screamo and hardcore. The night moves from the chaotic, mathy precision of New Jersey’s Stress Spells and the high-velocity grind of How To Set A Fire And Why to the expansive post-hardcore textures of Chicago’s Mail and Sects. Balanced by the visceral weight of In Memories and the sharp, abrasive aggression of .22LR
