About this Event
Pedals, synths, drum machines, and 12 cassette players: Multi-instrumentalist and artist Vahco Before-Horses presents a night of experiments with tapes loaded with found sounds and creates soundscapes that range from dark and ambient to avant-garde hip hop.
On his 2026 Tapes Tour, Vahco is joined by different instrumentalists in each city to make each performance unique. Tall City opens the night, bringing instrumental lo-fi boom bap to Afro-Cuban rhythms. SNARK will provide live visual projection. At the end of Vahco’s performance, Tall City and other musicians are invited to join Vahco’s set of improvised tape orchestration.
For this tour, Vahco takes a break from his vocal work, reaching deep into his past, in search of something more tactile, something that has unexpected results that are different with every performance.

Tall City (Chris Bullock) is an artist, beatmaker, and writer operating out of Denver, Colorado.
Originally hailing from Long Island, New York, Tall City relocated to East Denver, bringing a gritty, DIY ethos to the local underground scene. Blending raw boom-bap cadences, lo-fi trip-hop instrumentals, and Madlib-esque sampling with a background in spoken word, his sound moves effortlessly between bedroom-produced hip-hop beats and literary performance art.
IG @tall_city
SNARK is a musician and visual artist who uses the tenor saxophone and abstracted video projection as a gateway to deep and untethered experiments in electronic manipulation, repetition, drone, and emotional frenzy. His catalogue of recordings tracks intimate partnerships with fellow adventure-seeking musicians, and takes shape in spacious long-form compositions and spontaneous free improvisation. Inspired by rāga, ceremonial icaros, new age warmth and chthonic dissonance, the music aims to bring lessons from the Other Side. Learn more.
