RIN RXM
Jake Leech
July’s CLEAT Series features a new duo from RXM Reality and Rin Peisert along with a solo set from guitarist Jake Leech. Jake Leech is a Chicago-based musician and photographer. He primarily uses electroacoustic bass and electronics to push the limitations of ambient improvisation. He is also the host of the arts and culture podcast, Airing Out the Archive.
RIN RXM is Rin Peisert & RXM Reality, presenting a duo performance for electronics, voice, action, composition, and improvisation. Developed through previous collaborations working in both improvised and durational performance contexts, the performance combines RXM Reality’s electronic compositions with Peisert’s vocals and actions. Peisert’s voice appears both live and within RXM Reality’s prerecorded composition. Sound and action are composed across the space and remain open to improvisation.
Sound moves through space. Actions move through space. Both are composed. Both are open to improvisation. The space is not a container for the work. It is material.

Artist Bios
Rin Peisert is an interdisciplinary performance artist working with bodies, time, and the gaze. Her work focuses on how perception changes across contexts and how endurance, proximity, and spectatorship shape actions and their consequences. She is the creator and director of Relative Intensity Noise, a durational performance and sound series centered on simultaneous live actions. Peisert’s performances have appeared at the Power Station of Art, Shanghai Duolun Museum of Modern Art, The Momentary at Crystal Bridges, and Defibrillator Gallery, as well as bomb shelters, rooftops, tunnels, and a market for arranged marriages.
Chicago-based producer/composer Mike Meegan makes music under the moniker RXM Reality. Over the course of four albums on Hausu Mountain since 2018, along with 2021’s Advent LP on Orange Milk, Meegan refined a strain of electronic production that unites facets of breakcore, techno, grime, noise, and countless other styles into detailed composites that attest to his omnivorous tastes and bottomless technical acumen as a producer.
