Event description

RIDES/REVERSALS is an experimental sound showcase produced by Rowan Yeomans, Jay Rea and Weyon, featuring an afternoon session of introspective ambient soundscapes and a night-time reversal that is driving, intense and cathartic. While different in approach, each of us as neurodiverse trans people approach music as a way to communicate, connect, and explore sensory bliss together. We see this show as a chance to invite you into our world! Additionally, we wanted to use this opportunity to share the stage with other queer and/or neurodiverse artists who use their musical practice as a way to explore identity, the boundaries of genre and the world around them.

RIDES/REVERSALS will feature performances of various styles and lengths from: Weyon, Atunement (Panos Couros and Robert Frost), MEOW MEOW Casio (Rowan Yeomans and Jay Rae, debut show), Mx. Robert Frost, Liz Yung Cheung, and Crystal Leigh Adams.
