This Saturday, March 7th, I will be returning to the foggy underground! Thank you so much @kimbark4thstate for inviting me to be a part of this spring initiation in Hyde Park with @lokua (doing a live set!) and Kimbark resident @mudcoded . 🥀 I’ll be closing and ringing in the bridge to longer days and warmer weather ahead as spring emerges. But don’t worry, I’ll still be curating emotional and eerie soundscapes as we ponder the transition from winter to spring because it is never seamless. 🤓 Link in bio!!
