Trigger Object
Vern Avola is a composer, multimedia artist, based in Portland, Oregon. She founded EMS Records. Avola's solo sound works uses deep electronic sounds to geomap the hidden layers that also come with a given "present moment"; from the guttural subterranean or the hallways of the earthly punk and DIY culture to consensual abduction and flight. Avola's compositions hold space for these physical stretches that become emblems of safety when society faces a truth in zero control within a political predestination. In this process Avola brings an ability back to the listener to think and exist outside of man's algorithm.Since 2007, Avola has performed this work internationally and has released several albums on Sige Recordings, An Out Recordings, Accident Prone Records, Gravity Records and Nadine Records. She currently has a radio show on East Village Radio and has had radio shows on KRCB, KFFP, The Neon Hospice (UK) and Repeater Radio (UK).
Ember Veil
Ember Veil is a dark folk project that weaves stories and spells from the past into gothic soundscapes. Using a wide range of ancient and contemporary instruments, Ember Veil expresses a desire for a deeper connection with both the distant past and the present world around us. Their live performance is an immersive storytelling experience, including reading from medieval texts, live drumming, and handcrafted costumes.
Troll Hart Piano
25 years of devoted musical practice and many long stories of spiritual exploration have led to the faerie forest operas of "Troll Hart Piano", Troll Hart's solo project.In Troll Hart Piano, Troll unleashes the mythological storyteller as an integrated expression of her spiritual practice. With operatic singing and narration in tongues somewhere between jazz-scatting and primal glossolalia, the ancient spirits of the woodland realm are summoned to journey the harmonic halls of Troll's fantastical piano-based improvisations and compositions.
