About this Event
Ganesh and Wolfe is a duo emerging from a shared practice of divination and duration. Formed during a tarot reading set to Morton Feldman, they make drone music structured by astrological time and slow decay. Homage to pedal steel, tape delay, and amplifier resonance traces a sound that turns on itself, from desolate to devotional, holding the listener in the paradox of motionless change.
Kryssi and Wednesday’s musical collaboration has its basis in an intentional attunement to the slow motions of an earth-cosmic awareness. Using an improvisational mode that draws inspiration from non-musical contexts of environmental beauty and emotional well-being, their music is an effort to explore harmonic and rhythmic modalities that might engage in and encourage a perceptual shift toward calmness.
Ben Richter is a composer, accordionist, and director of Ghost Ensemble. Inspired by nonhuman consciousness and Deep Listening, Ben's music often explores the interactions among gradual transformations across perceptual thresholds to orient toward the expansive timescales of geologic and ecological systems. Ben’s original accordion works, such as Panthalassa: Dream Music of the Once and Future Ocean (2017) and the double album Aurogeny (2023, Infrequent Seams), explore just intonation and airflow preparations that expand the instrument’s microtonal and timbral capacities. Ben's recent albums as a composer include Rewild with Ghost Ensemble (2024, New World Records), Dissolution Seedlings with House On Fire (2024, Sawyer Editions), and a forthcoming suite of works for organ, quarter-tone accordion, and low strings with Sedimental (2026).
