About this Event

Presented in conjunction with Kim Gordon’s exhibition Count Your Chickens and the accompanying group exhibition Folded Group, this noise concert extends the exhibitions’ attention to sound as a material practice shaped by space, amplification, and exchange. Kim Gordon and Bill Nace, who together comprise the electric guitar duo Body/Head, invite musicians MV Carbon, Aaron Dilloway, and Noise Nomads to perform alongside them on one night in a lineup that oscillates between sonic improvisation and performance.

Amant programs are always free. Entry is first come, first served. RSVP DOES NOT GUARANTEE ENTRY.

Doors for this program will open at 6:45 pm in our AZ Gallery located at 306 Maujer Street. To ensure an uninterrupted program, doors will close 20 minutes after the start time.

Artist Bios

Body/Head are an American electric guitar duo composed of Kim Gordon and Bill Nace. They began working together in 2011 in Northampton, Massachusetts. Their debut album, Coming Apart, was released on Matador Records on September 10, 2013. They released a live album, No Waves (2016), through Matador Records and their second studio album, The Switch (2018) was also released through Matador Records.

MV Carbon is an interdisciplinary artist exploring the transformative relationship between sound, space, and place. Her practice investigates how sound and technology can be used to reveal information, shape spatial perception, and generate new aesthetic relationships to space and time. Speculative sound synthesis shapes her process and musical output. Decay and repetition expose the underlying architecture of sound, where the present melds with the future and spatial resonance emerge. Sculptural objects function as musical instruments, amplifying the ritual, rhythm, and momentum embedded in music. Carbon taps into the mystery of the human mechanism, exploring themes such as interchangeability, communication, interference, and transmogrification of mind and matter. Carbon treats space as an active, responsive organism, emphasizing interaction and emergence. Circuits and sculptural objects are melded with voice and synthesis, allowing unexpected musical logic to form through sonic saturation. Analog techniques are combined as Carbon fuses sonic space onto magnetic tape, manipulating frequency in real time.
Aaron Dilloway is a celebrated improviser and composer who works with 1/4" tape loops in 8-track cartridges as well as other discarded electronic equipment. In his performance-based practice, he manipulates magnetic tape in real-time by feeding the loops with sounds from his body, everyday objects, electronic sources, prepared tapes, as well as the occasional actual instrument.
Noise Nomads is the solo project of Jeff Hartford, a longtime presence in the experimental and noise music scene. Across live performance and studio recording, Hartford creates compositions that merge primal percussion, raw electronics, and improvisation into volatile, unrepeatable sonic events. His practice moves between aggression and texture, drawing on the energy of a live happening and destabilizing potential of analog synthesis. With more than 50 releases across vinyl, cassette, and CD, Noise Nomads has built a cult following in underground music circles. Hartford’s work continues to redefine noise as both a musical form and a charged atmospheric experience.
