We are beyond grateful to be able to present the work of Alexandra Buschman-Román at our second installment taking place this coming Sunday, Oct. 13. The show starts at 3pm and will be located next to the Alameda Main Street Ferry Terminal. Location in bio!

🎇🔥💯😲

Alexandra Buschman-Román (La Macacoa) is a composer, improviser, and singer based in Oakland and Puerto Rico part time. They use electronic hardware, percussion, voice, improvisation, and mysticism to connect the bodies, spirits and space. They draw from the Afro-Caribbean and Taino music and spirituality of their roots to create improvised songs.
She is half of the experimental dance duo Las Sucias, and somnambulist Noise project Demonsleeper.

La Macacoa
La Macacoa is Puerto Rican Bay Area experimental sound artist Alexandra Buschman-Román (she/they). As a singer and improviser, they use multiple microphones, electronic hardware, and body gestures/movement to expand the voice. As a composer and electronic percussionist, they draw from Afro-Caribbean music and Taino (indigenous Caribbean) stories. Performances are mystical rituals.

Part of Alexandra’s roots are in the Puerto Rican classical and electronic music vanguard studying composition at the Music Conservatory with Manuel Ceide (Berio student), and Rafael Aponte Ledée (Ginastera student). They moved to Oakland in 2007 to study Composition and Improvisation with Fred Frith, Chris Brown, and Maggie Payne, and Deep Listening with Pauline Oliveros at Mills College.

Alexandra is half of avant-tropical duo Las Sucias, with Danishta Rivero. They also perform and tour under monicker Demonsleeper, singing songs about nightmares and lucid dreams using dark ambient, drone noise, and heavy somnambulist pulses.

LIVE SHOW ANNOUNCEMENTS!! Introducing Morgan Garett from Philly back to the Bay this upcoming June 5th and 6th in SF and Oakland respectively. Morgan is an experimentalist extraordinaire who has lived all across the states and has released heavy hitter after another in the past near-decade. I’ve had the pleasure of meeting Morgan in Oakland back in 2018 and have since crossed path multiple times. Morgan has a new album out on Orange Milk Records called “Purity” and is touring the US in support of that album. He’s hitting the Bay with a show June 5th in SF at the Knockout with Sally Decker, Matt Robidoux, and Folding Men. Followed by another gig in Oakland at the Spire Church with EX-HEIR, La Macacoa and Angst Hase Pfeffer Nase on June 6th. Both of these gigs have some truly heavy hitters, really happy with the way things are shaping. More deets to come, in the meantime, save the dates!
