claire rousay’s music cascades from a well of documented experience, reflections of the past that compose the present. A prolific multi-instrumentalist, producer, and composer, rousay gracefully crafts boundaryless music. From her frequent and acclaimed collaborations to her film scoring, from her own compositions to her solo pop work, rousay’s music is delicate yet powerful, carefully constructed with a casual intimacy. rousay collages a wealth of found sounds and field recordings with earthy strings, stately piano, and processed instrumentation, all of which trace the outlines of memories and distinct impressions and create a complex constellation of feeling. a little death illustrates rousay’s ability to sculpt sonic microcosms from disparate raw materials, worlds where sound and feeling are one in the same. Shaped around field recordings she captured at dusk, the album is an homage to the gentle drifts and lurking disquiet of twilight.

The process of composing a little death felt like a homecoming for rousay after the more pop-oriented song forms of 2024’s sentiment. “sentiment was a different way of working that helped refresh my music making habits and usual flow,” rousay notes. “This record is a return to what I see as my core solo practice, a re-dedication to those methods of working which I’ve found most align with what I envision my music or sound to be.” Intended as a part of a trilogy along with a heavenly touch and a softer focus, the pieces on a little death sprout from a wellspring of tactile samples and granularly processed sounds. The use of sounds recorded from her life outside of the studio remains a throughline in her work. While the previous two albums used field recordings as the primary sound source or central figure in the compositions, here they act more as springboards, timbrally intertwining with live instruments like additional voices in a chamber ensemble. Captured as daylight fades into memory, the sounds give a subtler diaristic impression, the recordings occupying a more elemental space which give moments of absolute clarity a shine in the dim gloaming.

RØPE - Baltimore-based No Wave

GOLDFEATHER is an experimental pop band based out of New York City. The whimsical brainchild of Sarah Goldfeather and Mike Tierney, Goldfeather’s music has been described as “a nightmare funhouse-mirror take on Carly Rae Jepson-style upbeat pop [that is] deeply disconcerting and outrageously fun” (National Sawdust Log), with songs that are “as crazy as they are catchy... a three minute rush of conflicting emotions over sonic exploration... sounds from one universe seem to be leaking into another" (New Sounds), “giddy, cute, vulnerable, and delightful” (I Care If You Listen), “full of light and life” (The Current, Minnesota Public Radio), and “pop on steroids” (The Big Takeover). Recent highlights include performing on New Sounds with John Schaefer (WNYC) in July 2023. Their fourth studio album, Change, was released in 2023 on innova (American Composers Foundation) after winning the label’s national call for recording projects. Sarah and Mike have led rich and eclectic musical careers that inform their music. Sarah is a composer-performer whose compositions include commissions from pianist Timo Andres, ETHEL quartet, Contemporaneous, Alkemie, W4RP, and more. She is the co-founder, and artistic director and violinist of the seven-piece new music ensemble Exceptet and has an active career as a violinist and singer, including holding the violin chair for the Tony-Award winning and Grammy-nominated Broadway production of Oklahoma!, among other on-and off-Broadway productions. She performs regularly with new music ensemble Contemporaneous and is a teaching artist for Musicambia, a music education program that works with incarcerated populations. Mike is a four-time Grammy-nominated audio engineer and producer based in Brooklyn who has worked with a range of artists across genres, including Steve Reich; Medeski Martin & Wood; Stephen Stills; Julia Wolfe; Pharaoh Sanders; Judy Collins; and Alarm Will Sound. He currently works out of his studio, Fieldnotes Studio.

mod f is an electronic improvising duo of Alexander Wu and Maxwell Gong. In their music, the material world is distorted, physicality decoupled from sound waves; metaphors feed back into one another and into themselves.

Drawing on the talent of musicians from the El Paso, Texas / Ciudad Juárez border and around the world, El Paso Barroco (EPB) is a conductor-less collective of musicians dedicated to historically informed performance. Comprising three ensembles: a Baroque orchestra, a viola da gamba consort, and a period string quartet, EPB fosters early music through variety and community engagement.

EPB was founded by brothers Alberto and Octavio Macías Meléndez in an effort to offer musicians opportunities to perform on replicas of period instruments, bringing history to life through sound while fostering a binational musical community. EPB's mission is to provide the El Paso TX / Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua, community with immersive and historically informed experiences that introduce students, musicians, and audiences to the Baroque and beyond.

Since its founding in 2017, EPB has collaborated with partners such as the El Paso Museum of Art, Paso del Sur, the Universidad Autónoma de Ciudad Juárez, the University of New Mexico, the University of Arizona, the institute of Mexican Culture in Washington D.C. and the Johns Hopkins University

For this concert, 4+ Guitarra, guitarist Edgar Camargo will be performing with members of EPB.

Three Treasures to Hold and Keep is a film made of still images by photojournalist J.M. Giordano and live sound by composer‑performer Daoure Diongue. In each of its three sections, a modern injustice is paired with a fundamental virtue from the Tao Te Ching, forming the themes: Occupation/Mercy, Deportation/Economy, Dictatorship/Humility.

Daoure Diongue is a saxophonist, composer, and sound essayist. He evokes his homes of Baltimore and Senegal through sound. His work draws on world-class conservatory training as a saxophonist and the self-determining ethos of African American Music. Diongue has performed with Lafayette Gilchrist, Dan Deacon, Gary Bartz, UPENDO (Brandon Woody), Konjur Collective, Isiaiah Collier, Luke Stewart, Caroline Davis, and Sean Jones, and at venues including the Kennedy Center, the Baltimore Museum of Art, and the Brooklyn Academy of Music. In a 2025 article for Bandcamp on Baltimore's jazz scene, Andy Thomas wrote, “[Diongue] brought African rhythms and melodies from that tradition together with jazz, R&B, and glitchy electronics on his 2020 album. Featuring Diongue on sax, keys, and vocals, the record was, in the words of Micah E Wood, ‘a soft expansive masterpiece.’”

Joseph Mario (J.M.) Giordano is an award-winning photojournalist based in Baltimore and co-host of the photojournalism podcast, 10 Frames Per Second with Molly Roberts. His book, Trumpland: Carnival to Chaos (Nighted Life Press, 2024), documents the rise of Trump. This year, he was named a finalist for the prestigious National Gallery's Outwin Boochever Portrait Prize and will be featured in American Photography Annual 41 for his coverage of 10 years of police brutality in America. His work was featured in American Photography Annual 40 for his second book, 13-23 (Nighted Life Press), covering a decade of Baltimore's homicides. His international photographs covering the collapse of the steel industry are the subject of a solo show at the Museum of Industry in Baltimore. His first book, We Used to Live At Night (Culture Crush Editions), chronicles 25 years of the city at night and was called "a mix between Weegee and Brassai". His work has been featured on NPR, ProPublica, Al-Jazeera, GQ, Architectural Digest, Taste, The Observer New Review Sunday Magazine, The Guardian, The Telegraph, The Daily Mail, Washington Post, The Baltimore City Paper, i-D Magazine, Discovery Channel Inc., and Rolling-Stone. His work, from the Struggle Civil Rights series, is in the permanent collections at the Reginald Lewis Museum.

IN THE MIRROR

We are happy to return to the amazing 2640 Space for this concert. The concert starts at 7pm, with a pre-concert talk with artistic director Kevin Crouch at 6:30pm. Doors open at 6:15pm

Tickets

Tickets start at $35 for general admission. Patrons may purchase a ticket which includes a post-concert reception with two drink tickets and food for $45.

About DUALIS

DUALIS is an all-professional chamber choir performing choral music at a high level of excellence in the heart of Baltimore. The name of the group reflects the dualistic nature of selected repertoire, with the focus being on pairing musical pieces of vastly contrasting styles and sonic pallets.

The Arm is somewhere between a beautiful brass chorale and a broken distortion pedal.

Sarah Manley, trombone/electronics
Patrick McMinn, trumpet/guitars/electronics

Nick Zoulek (Chicago) builds worlds out of brass, breath, and reeds. Based in Chicago, Zoulek is a saxophonist whose music feels physical, visceral, and urgent. Tender one moment, tectonic the next, his sounds are simultaneously alive and mechanized. Allan Kozinn wrote in The Wall Street Journal, “Zoulek’s performance, on saxophones in every range, is stunningly virtuosic, whatever the genre.” A musician of “pure mindfulness and talent” (PopMatters), his intuitive playing results in a “no-holds barred engine of avant-garde exploration.” (Portland Press Herald).

Waco Mammoth is James David Young (bassoon), Robin Rhodes (bass), and Rohan Parthare (electronics and video).

Defend Filipino Seafarers!

Along the East Coast of the US, Customs and Border Protection (CBP) is targeting and detaining Filipino cruise ship workers. Possessing valid work visas, these hard working seafarers report being forced by the CBP to sign documents withdrawing their application for admission. Several were baselessly accused of horrible crimes they did not commit. The seafarers were handcuffed, humiliated, and deported back to the Philippines, suffering immense financial loss.

On September 7th, four Filipino seafarers aboard the Carnival Pride were deported from Baltimore.

On October 19th, two more were deported using the same intimidation tactics.

Carnival Cruise Lines and the Philippine government have ignored pleas from migrants and their communities for support and refused to take meaningful steps to protect these workers against the Trump administration's draconian deportation campaign. Tanggol Migrante Movement DMV (https://www.tanggolmigrante.org ) calls on the Filipino community and allies to come together in Baltimore to learn more about the plight of Filipino seafarers and migrants and fight back!

Friday, November 7th at 2640 Space 

7:15PM Doors, 8PM shows

admission $5-$10

Nikel is a quartet consisting of saxophone, electric guitar, percussion and piano.

A mix of traditional and contemporary, these instruments combine to form an alternative chamber music output where electric and acoustic sounds are fused into a unified sonic organism built on a wide, yet discerning musical vocabulary. The continual search for new musical ideas is not based on aesthetic prejudice or dichotomies of musical genres, but on passion and devotion to making and performing great music.

Founded in 2006, the ensemble is a frequent guest at many of the community’s most well known festivals of contemporary music: Donaueschinger Musiktage, International Summer Course for New Music Darmstadt, Wien Modern, Warsaw Autumn, Manifeste Paris, Huddersfield Contemporary Music Festival, Gaudeamus Utrecht & Impuls Graz to name a few. In recent years, they have increased their international presence with appearances in North America, South America and New Zealand, as well as continued appearances at major festivals throughout Europe.

Given its unique formation, the group’s repertoire is entirely based on music written for the quartet by both established and up-and-coming composers. Much of these works saw light in NIKEL’s 2017 release: A DECADE – 10 Year retrospective recordings, consisting of 4 CD’s of their repertoire joined by a DVD Documentation.

Nikel members are:

Brian Archinal, Percussion

Yaron Deutsch, Electric Guitar

Antoine Françoise, Piano

Patrick Stadler, Saxophone

We are masters of concealing our own feelings.  Whether motivated by shame, fear, or uncertainty, humans have become experts in masking and obscuring emotions.  We universally share in the experiences of anxiety, depression, desire, loneliness, and lack of fulfillment, yet we often keep them behind closed doors.  

DUALIS’s final concert of the 24-25 season, “what we hide”, seeks to address the sensations we choose to keep locked up inside. Each piece on the program represents a fragment of our shared emotional solitude. Joel Thompson's "America Will Be!" and Zanaida Robles’ “Can You See?” both reckon with the fallacy of the “melting pot” promised in the American dream. Magdalena Casulana’s madrigal, “Aura, che mormorando al bosco” laments the timeless feeling of unrequited love and desire. Nathaniel Parks’ "but sometimes I worry" gently unravels the quiet anxieties we carry around expressing love. These pieces and more will delve into the hidden spaces through which we navigate our lives. 

When we confront our inner thoughts, will we gain a better understanding of our collective experiences? What discoveries will we make along the way? Join us for “what we hide” on Saturday, May 24th at 7pm. The performance will be held at 2640 Space. Admission is $25, and tickets can be purchased online or 30 minutes ahead of the performance at the door.
