DOS – A Sonic Dialogue
Co-curated by Pablo Perez and Nicki Chen
Featuring: Cory Fogel, Haydeé Jiménez, Nelle J. Anderson, Chloe Villamayor, Pablo Perez, Nicki Chen
Artist bios
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.

Brokenity
“Brokenity” is a collaboration between sound artist Pablo Perez and Mike Dobler. It explores the broken sonic relfections, machine error states, recorded audio’s, and dismissed environmental ambience. It is a narration of how noises interact with each other outside their harmonic, melodic and rhythmic components. It reverses the listeners priority and showcases the hidden sonic languages that celebrates the broken.
Mike Dobler is a live composer and performer using modular and boutique electronic equipment. The compositions are technique-focused, emphasizing on spontaneous and improvised exploration towards a precarious unknown destination with a few jump scares and comic relief along the way. Whoops, that’s the Jungle Cruise.
Air States
Air States is an audio and visual collection curated by Los Angeles sound artist Pablo Perez of sonic explorations celebrating errors, brokenness, and recycled audio artifacts. Five artists were selected to submit their own interpretation of brokeninty recontextualized into compositional sound epiphanies enhanced by video accompaniments.
