About

Baba Yaga's Hut Presents: Whitney Johnson, Lia Kohl and Macie Stewart at Cafe Oto, June 6th Finding equilibrium in an ever evolving practice of improvisation and collective composition, the trio of Whitney Johnson, Lia Kohl, and Macie Stewart traverse a new sonic space in the spirit of play and intuitive experimentation. Three voices and three string instruments – viola, cello, and violin, respectively – create an organic, intertwined sound that can be both singular and astonishingly multitudinous. The trio work in a unique combination of completely free improvisation and careful production, using multiple tape machines and effects to re-imagine improvised material into meticulously crafted compositions. \-- ' I.e. Us ' is an ever evolving group of musicians that share similar visions of new music and performance brought together by Kareem Samara. The group play semi composed/semi improvised pieces with an aim of creating new sonic textures and relationships. This performance will include Fatima Lahham, Kenichi Iwasa and Kareem Samara
