Hanna Elliott

Kari Watson

PANTY

We’ve had a wonderful year of CLEAT Series events and we’re wrapping up with a dynamic night of spatial audio work. Bakantez formed in 2022 as the solo electronic project of Chicago based experimental composer Hanna Elliott, former member of the industrial duo HOGG. Over the years of creative development, Hanna has retained consistent themes of libidinal physicality, tactility, and tumultuous introspection. The project sonically consists of electro-acoustic sampling, sequencing, synthesis, and processed vocals reminiscent of sound collage, minimal wave, and noise.

Kari Watson plays modular analog synthesizers with a customizable software they built in MaxMSP that allows them to perform with a variety of different spatial speaker arrays. The software also allows control several inputs from the modular with filtering effects, customizable algorithmic spatialization trajectories, and individualized amplitude control.

Brought up on the sonic transmissions of the underground, interdisciplinary artist, DJ, and producer PANTY (they/them) is happy to report that hardcore will never die. Enmeshing sonic landscapes from seemingly disparate ends of global bass & leftfield dance music into a cohesive and experimental whole, PANTY’s punk at heart performance antics are only enhanced by their anti-capitalist, DIY-or-die ethos, and a passion for carving out spaces for ecstatic release.

We’ll get started at 8pm!
