Pleiades Series: Lyn Rye + Planchette

Lyn Rye is a bassist, singer, and composer. Scapi Magazine writes, "As a versatile bassist who plays with folk, jazz, hip-hop, and rock musicians, Rye is someone who can create genuine newness. Being able to create beats, sing, play bass, and collaborate allows them to escape any boxes threatening to confine their music to genres." Lyn releases original music under their own name and can also be found accompanying Chicago favorites like Tommy Carroll, Ben Burden, Al Scorch, Andrew Sa, Not Lovely, and the Salaam-Shalom Music Project. In addition to playing music, Lyn is a peer resident at Casa Al-Fatiha, an autonomous sanctuary house for LGBTQ+ asylum seekers and people recently released from detention.

Drawing from extreme frequencies within the sound spectrum, Planchette finds warmth in harsh sounds and unexpected inspiration in the minutiae of near-silence through improvisation, delayed loops, and acoustic resonance. The freedom of improvisation and unpredictable nature of extended techniques encourages the detachment from conventional cello and an exploration of new space. Planchette is Nora Barton's solo project and her most recent album release is entitled "Around the Bend."

The solo sets will be followed by an open jam for all womxn artists. Email pleiades@elasticarts.org to sign up.
