Voicehandler plays intuitive, incantatory music grounded in the most primitive and somatic instruments -- the voice and percussion -- juxtaposed with contemporary, disembodied electronics. The performance is loose and exploratory, at various times energetic and meditative. Rivero’s voice embraces noise, with the lines blurred between electronic processing and extended vocal techniques. Heule has a special interest in friction techniques, and embraces limited instrumentation - like a single drum and a single cymbal - as a commitment to exploring the depth of his instruments. @dnishhh #jacobfelixheule WSH CA 26' Pescadero, CA August 22 by @dnishhh

Voicehandler plays intuitive, incantatory music grounded in the most primitive and somatic instruments — the voice and percussion — juxtaposed with contemporary, disembodied electronics. We situate ourselves in our physical and social environment through our music. The performance is loose and exploratory, at various times energetic and meditative.

Heule has a special interest in friction techniques, and embraces limited instrumentation - like a single drum and a single cymbal - as a commitment to exploring the depth of his instruments. matt robidoux (they/he) is a San Francisco based composer, improviser, and educator interested in sound-gesture causality and the convergence of movement and sound as it relates to free improvisation and accessibility. Their primary instrument is the “corn synth” (Kinetically Operated Randomness Network), a modular system that interprets physical input from two “ears of corn” sculptures cast in aluminum. Local support from Nummy and Lucky Bone.

August is upon us and we are bringing the heat with a special “three generations of Mills College” line up!  It’s another Wednesday night show, but hey, you don’t have school the next day, so come support these amazing artists who are traveling to Madison!  . LULA ASPLUND is an experimental composer and Chicago-based sound artist. Her work invokes voice as object and atmosphere—dislocated, refracted, tactile. Using spectral play, vocal manipulation, and fragmented sound poetry, she enters the nonlinear logic of dream and memory. Asplund has a BFA from Mills College and has performed at Center for New Music and Audio Technologies, The Lab SF, CalArts, Elastic Arts, Bohemian National Cemetery, and Experimental Sound Studio.  . KIM NUCCI (Chicago/Oakland) is a media artist, composer/performer, and technologist. They perform with electronics/saxophones/light and enjoy creating temporary environments for interaction. Nucci’s research explores the pedestrian cybernetic body, critically examining our relationship with technology/our instruments. Their performance practice is invested in ritualism and trance states in improvisation. . Voicehandler plays intuitive, incantatory music grounded in the most primitive and somatic instruments — the voice and percussion — juxtaposed with contemporary, disembodied electronics. We situate ourselves in our physical and social environment through our music. Our improvisations are shaped by their setting and context. . The performance is loose and exploratory, at various times energetic and meditative. Rivero’s voice embraces noise, with the lines blurred between electronic processing and extended vocal techniques. Heule has a special interest in friction techniques, and embraces limited instrumentation - like a single drum and a single cymbal - as a commitment to exploring the depth of his instruments. . It might be a Wednesday night show, but it’s the same tried and true Common Sage format: 7pm Potluck 8pm Music $10 suggested donation to the artists by @dnishhh

Performance not as a product, but a as a way of life.’ - excerpt from a description of her new book, Of Flesh and Frequency, a Poetics of Sound Making. @avakoohbor Kanoko Nishi-Smith is a performer currently based in SF/Bay Area. Her recent interest has primarily been in performing 20th century and contemporary musical compositions for piano as well as for koto (Japanese 13-string zither), and free-improvisation in various different contexts. @kanoko.nishi Danishta Rivero is an improviser, performer, and sound artist based in Oakland, California. She explores the artifacts resulting from heavy processing of the voice and their relationship to its acoustic resonance. @dnishhh Jordan Blankenship is an experimental sound artist from Modesto, California. His work examines the kinetic relationship between sound and gesture through extended techniques, prepared instruments, and improvised performance. @jordanblankenship K Francis Messer is a bay area-based percussionist and electro-acoustic noisemaker. performances emphasize suspension and consequence with analog feedback, prepared drums, salvaged objects, and sonic interference. sounds move in fractures and flares, embracing points of collision. @chlorinearoma Kaitlin McSweeney is a performer and composer based in Oakland, Ca. She improvises with live-looped vocals, cello, feedback, signal and environmental noise. Her recent work explores eroticism in noise through a body-centered invitation of tension and release, tearing apart and bringing together. @captainmcsweeney Domi Nigro is a performance artist and dancer of varied vocabulary based in Oakland, Ca. Inspired by both the mundane and fantastical, their art aims to explore the merging paradigms of these worlds by delving into highly emotional feeling states, improvisation, and technical movement forms. @earthenergy Thank you to @deadnoisestation and @antonio_californio ! by @dnishhh

BIG ANNOUNCEMENT—- our surprise guest headliner is the iconic duo @las_sucias duo of @sandemon__ and @dnishhh who are blessing our festival with a special headlining performance. Sandy is flying all the way from NY for the festival and we couldn’t be happier and more excited to welcome them and share this news with you. Outsider Sounds and Visions Fest is a two day music festival in West Oakland March 27 and 28, 2026 celebrating the twenty year anniversary of @ratskinrecords happening at First Church Of The Buzzard in West Oakland as well as streaming online featuring over thirty five bands / performances. Presale ticket link in our bio. We are beyond enthralled to bring on legendary duo @las_sucias, their music has meant so much to us over the years and this performance will not disappoint. Raw, unfiltered, and impossible to pin down, Las Sucias carve out a sound that lives somewhere between noise, ritual, and rupture. Their performances aren’t just sets, they’re confrontations, transformations, and a reminder of why we build spaces like this in the first place. Las Sucias is a duo formed by Danishta Rivero and Alexandra Buschman, mixing anti-patriarchal riotgrrrl lyrics, Afro-Caribbean rhythms, brujería noise and possessed vocals. Each performance is a ritual that combines all of the senses and elevates into a higher realm, inspiring the listener to dance, speak in tongues, laugh hysterically, and get possessed by the spirits awoken. taken in First Church Of The Buzzard by @dnishhh
