Debut album by Shinkoyo’s very own Ablehearts available as a FREE download HERE
“The Flood” | Ablehearts
ABLEHEARTS is Brooklyn sound and video artist THOMAS ARSENAULT.”The Flood” is the sound of fragile magic and teenage catechism love notes amidst the aura of broken toys and religious shame.
It is a wash of psycho-sexual memories from childhood, adolescence, and young adulthood, sung with touches of devotional innocence, creepiness, neediness, and love. “The Flood” is about the skeletons in your closet, divine punishment, the merger of boy and machine, lover and lord, farm and city. Tom does not fit in – but he’ll make you wonder why anybody would ever want to, with his delicate melodies and dusty electronics.

Today, Shinkoyo mourns the passing of a great mentor and friend, Maryanne Amacher. We met her through her teaching at Bard MFA in 2005, and over the years we were deeply influenced by her visionary art, seeking mind, and warm friendship. A creator of site specific, architectural sound installations, Maryanne studied with Stockhausen and collaborated with Cage during her early years. In the experimental music community, Maryanne was unmatched in her art – immersive sound that wraps around your body in unimagined patterns, hypnotic tones that emanate from your own ears, physical and aural architectures. Sadly, much of Maryanne’s experiential art passes with her. She did release two mind altering CDs for Tzadik, the most recent of which is the aural equivalent of time travel. We urge you to check them out….and to imagine…sound, alive! We miss you and love you Maryanne!

Composer/performer/artist Doron Sadja presents a dizzying evening of sonic reflections. Rich electronic textures fuse together with abstract noise blasts, piercing winds, purring cello tapes, and microphones too close for comfort. Expect nothing, be surprised. Sadja is a founder of the SHINKOYO Collective and the West Nile experimental performance space in Brooklyn and is also a regular employee at Roulette Intermedium, Inc. Doron performs in the improvisational group Symbol. Tonight’s event marks a rare re-appearance of the computer in his performance arsenal. Doron has released work on 12k, Shinkoyo, and Atak Records.see/hear:
