Friday - 1pm and 8pm, free - Holden Chapel @ #Harvard #CambridgeMA - infra-sonic, sub-woofer, modular #synth concert with Sound Lab Artist-in-Residence Retribution Body and guest performer #AshaTamirisa
This looks super cool if you’re into synthy music or putting unexpected sounds in beautiful/historic spaces - the 1pm show is tuning all the gear to the resonance of the Chapel, and the 8pm thing is the show.

Retribution Body

M Azevedo (b. 1977) is a Providence, RI based composer, mastering engineer, and acoustician. Their work as Retribution Body uses custom subwoofers and modular synthesizers to auralize the architecture of performance spaces though dense fields of standing waves, crafting work that is simultaneously minimalist and overwhelming.

Retribution Body
Getting started at Retribution Body #harvard; there’s like 20 people here, he’s talking about humble beginnings doing zen and synths in the late 90s early 00ze
@knizer
00ze sounds like a synth genre. As in, “inject a little 00ze along a one-celled Hammond organ -- his own, underneath my shoes.”
