Join us for a rare Los Angeles appearance by SF-based instrument builder Bryan Day. The duo of Lucy Liyou + Nicholas Michael Man-Yee Velado Hon opens the night.
Bryan Day is a sound artist, musical instrument inventor, and conceptual artist based in the San Francisco area. Using scavenged electronics, repurposed mechanical components, and amplified materials, he re-imagines them into constructivist sound sculptures. Since the late-1990s, he has built over a hundred sound object devices, from amplified measuring tape, hacked radio transceivers to electromechanical installations using magnets, hard drives and pendulums. His recorded work ranges from noisy electroacoustic improvisation to drony minimalism and audio collage, which is showcased in his projects Euphotic, Collision Stories and Seeded Plain. Day has performed, taught workshops, and built sound installations across Europe, Asia and the Americas.
Nicholas Michael Man-Yee Velado Hon (nmmyvh) is a listener, producer, and performer, as well as an educator. Born and raised in Southern California, with a lifelong relationship to Los Angeles, Nicholas' musical practice is and has long been concerned with the imposed fictions of place-making in an American megacity by the production of culture. He uses the guitar, drumset, audio, and his voice to compose and improvise. His last release, “.,...,...,.,.,,..,,.,,.,,,,,,,,” is an exploration of song-music, masculinity, camp, pleasure.
