On-site event June 7th

DOS – A Sonic Dialogue
Co-curated by Pablo Perez and Nicki Chen

Featuring: Angel Lin, Chloe Villamayor, Haydeé Jiménez, Nelle J. Anderson, Nicki Chen, Pablo Perez

DOS is a durational sonic experience exploring sound as a form of dialogue. Throughout the evening, experimental artists and musicians engage in a series of evolving improvised duets — an ever-shifting sonic chain where each encounter leaves an imprint on the next. Each 15-minute set pairs two performers in real-time conversation through sound. After each set, one artist rotates out and a new one joins in, forming a new duo. What results is a sonic relay of transformation, contrast, tension, and resonance — not about harmony, but about exchange.

Audiences are invited to come and go throughout the evening or stay for the entire unfolding. No moment is repeated. DOS is a meditation on presence, listening, and the instability of communication.

Nicki Chen
Music is my homing signal, reaching out to old souls and those ready to look within. This is my way of finding soulmates. I’m a violist that uses improvisation to embrace instability and search for forgotten experiences and hidden energy. I invite the audience to join me in surrendering to the process of peeling back armor to reveal raw emotions without fear of judgment or imperfection.
