FRIDAY NIGHT: SALON GARDEN
Enjoy Small Bites
Performances by Ro(b)//ert Lundberg / Edith Judith / DJ Set to Close
Chicago Based bassist, water drinker ~ infrastructural thinker ~ music, word, and image tinkerer Ro(b)//ert Lundberg
Ro(b)//ert Lundberg’s solo work focuses on the interaction of human infrastructure and the spaces it inhabits. Through slowly shifting rhythms in sound, language, and video, they attempt to reorient audiences to more-than-human relations hiding in plain si(gh)t[e]. Drawing sonic inspiration from the glitch minimalism of Ryoji Ikeda, the tuneful experimentalism of Arthur Russell, and the engrossing trance of Hamid el Kasri, Lundberg constructs performances that unsettle presumed relations to pipes, property, pollution.
Edith Judith is a the indie/folk duo project of Chicago experimentalists Katie Ernst (vocals, bass, double bass) and Dustin Laurenzi (guitars, synthesizers, saxophone, clarinet, flute, vocals). They have received critical acclaim from PopMatters for their “beguiling style of indie folk” on their debut album, Bones & Structure, released on Ruination Records in 2022. For their MITG set, Ernst and Laurenzi are joined by guitarist Matt Gold.
