Veterans of No Words Duos
No Words. No vocals. Just raw, unfiltered musical conversations.
On September 13, Eyedrum hosts a special Veterans of No Words ATL edition—an all-instrumental night of duos pairing some of Atlanta’s most adventurous players. Expect unexpected chemistry, fearless improvisation, and sounds that can’t be confined to a single genre.
From guitar and trumpet dialogues to cello and banjo experiments, from pounding drums to textured electronics, each set is its own sonic world created in real time by two artists pushing each other into new territory.

Tall Juan
In San Antonio de Padua, Buenos Aires, Argentina, a six-year-old boy picks up an electric guitar for the first time. He feels the sharp steel strings and smells the wood while playing his first chords. This moment sparks a lifelong passion for music.
Chain Cult (Athens Greece)
CHAIN CULT (Athens, Greece) channels inner anguish and the fallout of our capitalist hellscape into tightly wound, anthemic post-punk. A precise rhythm section cuts through a dreamy haze of interwoven guitar lines, while melodic vocals deliver sharp, urgent messages. Dark, direct, and unrelenting.
Ak’chamel
“Ak’chamel are one of the most consistently fascinating and creative bands in the psych scene right now.” - Brainwashed
For 15 years the trio of Ak’chamel has built a solid reputation as a compelling stage project. Wearing nightmarish costumes and engaging in hallucinatory “rituals”, their singular sound comprising desert-scorched psychedelia, post-apocalyptic shamanism, and lo-fi ritual-folk is as unique as the physical theater of their live performances.
Atlanta Contemporary Music Collective: Call for Scores
Join us for a bold evening of new chamber works inspired by composers with ties to Georgia. Selected pieces from an international Call for Scores will come to life in an intimate concert setting.
