An evening of sounds, songs & space, featuring:

EMÆL (@emaelcloud)
A California-based, Mexican-Irish singer/songwriter/producer, and classically trained cellist with an airily emotive voice, EMÆL’s measured and melancholic chamber pop draws from the same shapeshifting musical well as wizards like Son Lux, alt-J, Apparat and Radiohead, but with a succinct aura of pop refinery. The evocative blend of classical, pop, indie, jazz, and electronic music has birthed two EPs and two full length albums, all composed, produced, arranged, and mixed by EMÆL and his band. The current musicians performing with EMÆL are Joris Daniel, Kenzie, Meadowmaker, and Anthony Beville. Past performers include Daniel Kristoff, Michael Womack, Alyssa Cantal, and Mikko Pablo. The ambitious 2018 release, Glasswork, which introduced a jazzier harmonic spectrum, voice modulation, and the ever present choir of cellos into the mix, helped to establish EMÆL overseas resulting in a 2019 European Tour. 2021, saw EMÆL release the sophomore album Three360, a more melancholic yet slightly less experimental project, highlighting emotions of pursuit of happiness, nostalgia, and heartbreak resulting from his departure from a 9 year relationship. Recently, EMÆL has shown a more transparent side of himself with the release of his new single 'Infinity in a Box'.

Less Bells (@lessbellsmusic)
Julie Carpenter and Dain Luscombe formed Less Bells when they left Los Angeles and settled in the California desert of Joshua Tree. Carpenter had been a session violinist, and toured with artists such as Love with Arthur Lee, Eels, Spiritualized and more. Luscombe was composing for tv and film, and had toured as a keyboardist as well with Marjorie Fair and Bell Gardens. Taking their newfound space and time to explore, the duo gave free rein to their eclectic musical interests. 
 Less Bells pulls from American folk, classical music, experimental electronica, and European folk traditions as well. The hurdy gurdy drones along with the Buchla synth; violins and cellos twine along with coyote howls and gusts of wind recorded in the wilderness outside the studio. Their background in soundtrack music has shaped their creative output as well, and the music often has a cinematic, narrative quality which speaks of landscapes both beautiful and frightening.
