A night of duos for fans of experimental music, free improv, and performance art!

Battalion of cloudships is a multidisciplinary performance art ensemble of one and many utilizing aspects of theater, comedy, free improvisation, noise, drone, sound and space design to take the audience on journeys both inward and outward.  Each performance is uniquely curated as a piece of a larger whole, a page of script from an ongoing and expanding lore.  

Janna Lee is a Chicago artist who uses her voice to explore various facets of herself, and blurs the line between angel and demon. She is the vocalist of Snek Trio (with Reid Karris and Erik Sowa) and Obsequies (with Corey Lyons).  As a solo artist, she combines harsh noise and processed vocals into a weapon that embraces the darker side of humanity.  Her versatility has garnered a diverse range of collaborations, including Bob Genghis Khan, Galaxxu, Unmanned Ship, Ben Zucker, and Scarlet Diva

King of Salads is not music and has never heard of art. 

We are anti everything and pro nothing.

We eat soup for breakfast and salad for dessert, always. 

This is what you would hear while being spaghettified through a wormhole to an alien vacation. Good luck.

Quality Time, the musical duo of Ari Smith and Carson Borbely, leaves behind a trail of intuitive notes and words. Domestic, driven free improvisation, and some prepared texts. For lovers and friends alike.

Aden Stier & Jordan Kowalski are a traditional avant garde duo, exploring improvisation centered on music and the body.
