Casts

Paige Alice Naylor

Join us for the release show for Casts new album Desire Path. When Joshua Bohnsack began an experimental psychedelic therapy for treatment-resistant depression, he began making music to guide his sessions. As a writer and folk musician, Bohnsack had to learn how to communicate without words. Known for his work with Gold Dust, Bohnsack revived his Casts moniker and took to synthesizers and digital production. Through months of testing, Bohnsack explored what was most effective in the moment and helped in recovery the following days. This music became the concept album Desire Path, named for the rewiring of the brain. The resulting music is meant for both introspection and ego death acceptance.

We’ll have an opening set from Chicago-based experimental vocalist, sound artist, technologist, educator, and Elastic curator Paige Alice Naylor. Through sound-making and performance, she investigates the dissolution of time, the breakdown of language, and themes of death & rebirth by way of multichannel sound installation, electronically processed voice, tape loops, handmade electronics, field recordings, text scores, poetry, and repetitive, layered production. She will perform a few new studies for amplified and processed piano and voice through the 16-channel CLEAT system.

Music at 8pm!
