Ro Lundberg // Nick Meryhew // Carrie Henneman Shaw & Mabel Kwan
Join us for a triple album release on Chicago’s new Low Impact Recordings, featuring work by experimental musicians Ro Lundberg, Nick Meryhew, and the duo of Carrie Henneman Shaw & Mabel Kwan.
Ro(b)//ert Lundberg is a water drinker ~ infrastructural thinker ~ music, word, and image tinkerer. Their solo work focuses on the interaction of human infrastructure and the spaces it inhabits. Through slowly shifting rhythms in sound, language, and video, they attempt to reorient audiences to more-than-human relations hiding in plain si(gh)t[e]. Drawing sonic inspiration from the glitch minimalism of Ryoji Ikeda, the tuneful experimentalism of Arthur Russell, and the engrossing trance of Hamid el Kasri, Lundberg constructs performances that unsettle presumed relations to pipes, property, pollution.
Now based in Chicago, they have performed throughout the United States, Canada, and Europe at venues and festivals such as Big Ears, Roulette Intermedium, Norwegian BioArt Arena, and CURRENTS New Media Festival. They perform solo and in outfits ranging from improvising ensembles to art rock bands HIGHSIGH and JOBS, with collaborators including John Dieterich, Max Jaffe, Chris Jonas, Lia Kohl, Matt Mehlan, Ryan Packard, Jessica Pavone, Cyrus Pireh, Zander Raymond, and Dave Scanlon. They studied music at The New School and law and environmental art at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
Nick Meryhew is an experimental musician, improviser, and community arts worker. Their work explores environmental sound in physical and virtual spaces, noise as an extreme and mundane phenomenon, and the elastic relationships between sound recording and time keeping. Their work dissects and reimagines the instrument-performer relationship, favoring unstable and unpredictable outcomes over traditional virtuosity.
Nick performs music most frequently on no-input mixer, trombone, EWI, and computer. They perform solo and with the groups STOMACHS, Tallulah Bankheist, Paradise Complete, Sandpusher, and Heavy Tiny. Nick’s work has been presented by Elastic Arts, the Neo-Futurists Theater, Experimental Sound Studio, Roman Susan, Constellation Chicago, The Hungry Brain, Comfort Station Logan Square, and CAPE Gallery, among others.
Mabel Kwan is a pianist and performer of experimental, improvised, and classical music. Her self-produced work is a meditation on sound, contradictions, and our perceptions of what is familiar or strange. She plays with Ensemble Dal Niente, STOMACHS, Honestly Same, Em Spel, the Jason Roebke Quartet, and the Christopher Dammann Sextet on piano, accordion, and synths. Mabel is based in Chicago, Illinois.
Carrie Henneman Shaw, acclaimed for her grace both vocally and in movement, is a two-time McKnight Fellowship for Performing Musicians recipient. Praised by major publications, including the New York Times and Boston Globe, she specializes in contemporary and 17th-century music. An esteemed performer and educator, Carrie teaches at the University of Washington in Seattle.
