Outside Time presents an evening with Lifted to celebrate the release of Movie.
Lifted is the duo of Andrew Field Pickering (Max D, Dolo Percussion, Beautiful Swimmers) and Matt Papich (Co La, Ecstatic Sunshine). Movie, their first release for rising DC-based label Outside Time, is like a film shot with microphones rather than cameras, using the pacing, spatialization, and semiotics of cinematic sound design to lead us through a surreal soundworld that draws as much from Foley artistry as dub, jazz, and electronic music. Musical elements and field recordings shift in and out of focus, collaged in spontaneous improvisation sessions on CDJs. Their live sets are fully improvised on the same hardware, leading to unexpected & delicious sonic confluences.
more eaze is the project of Brooklyn-based sound artist and multi-instrumentalist Mari Maurice. Ranging from ambient pop to folk and musique concrete, her numerous solo and collaborative releases weave mundane, everyday sounds, acoustic orchestration and instrumentation, and electronics into adventurous textural compositions that move seamlessly between the banal and the ethereal. In addition to regularly performing solo and in the duos Pink Must (w/ Lynn Avery) and whait (w/ Wendy Eisenberg), she is also an adjunct faculty member of the New School and a teacher at Brooklyn School of Music. Her most recent work was released on Thrill Jockey, 15 Love, Longform Editions, Leaving Records, Ecstatic, and Orange Milk.
Earthen Sea is the experimental ambient/beat solo project of Jacob Long. He crafts a compelling synthesis of shadowy rhythms and opaque atmospherics, drawing on the most potent qualities of melancholic ambient and dub techno. He began releasing Earthen Sea material during the early 2000s. Released on limited-edition cassettes and CD-Rs, some of his earliest material utilized violin, tape decks, and keyboards to create eerie soundscapes. In 2014, taking a more beat oriented approach, the "Mirage" EP was released on the Lovers Rock imprint. This release was followed by the project's first full-length "Ink"which appeared on Lovers Rock in 2015. A digital EP titled "The Sun Will Rise" was released by Nicolas Jaar's Other People in 2016. Following a move to Brooklyn, Long released "An Act of Love," his debut on Kranky, in 2017. Since then he has released 3 more records on Kranky the latest being “Recollection” in 2024. Recently his live sets have involved a return to drone oriented live performance that features his saxophone playing.
