Reviews
It takes a certain commitment and perseverance to hone one's craft through weekly live performances for internet strangers and build an extensive sonic vocabulary in the process. Rebekkah Palov welcomes those strangers every week to her homegrown studio and the audio has evolved into something both understated and remarkable.
The simple visuals belie the complexity of the sounds you hear, usually alternating amongst two cameras in a room pointed at the performer with raw video footage exploring the everyday: plastic recycle bottles, the contents of a closet, rows of trash dumpsters, plants etc. Equally important is what you don't see: the computer screen. Only the edge of a laptop and a hands on a midi controller showing a connection to an unspecified software.
The performances just keep getting better. Tune in.

Has anyone ever groped their way through totally unexplored territory, such unknown darkness, with such assurance?
Shapes bubble up from silence as surprised to be there as you are to hear them. Are they physical objects in space, perhaps even living tissue, or are they purely virtual, mere sonic images? Is there a difference? This is how the world sounds now, if you can hear it.
