Gelsey Bell and Erin Rogers + Thingamajigs Performance Group
Gelsey Bell and Erin Rogers - Skylighght
Skylighght is the duo project of vocalist Gelsey Bell and saxophonist Erin Rogers, both active figures of the New York City experimental music community who have worked together for 15+ years as part of the new music collective, thingNY. Composed collaboratively in 2019, Skylighght cultivates a minimalist music constructed upon the organic acoustic vibrations of interlaced resonances and a mutual performer sensitivity. An exploration of resonant properties, Skylighght has been performed over a dozen times in spaces of varying characteristics, from grain silos to living rooms, from concert halls to outdoor tunnels.
Thingamajigs Performance Group
TPG seeks to break new ground in durational performance, alternate tuning, group and open compositional formats, interdisciplinary and inter-cultural collaboration, and site work. Their fields of institutional study, performance practice, and instrumentation are directly informed by Japanese noh and gagaku, Korean pansori, sijo,and sinawi, formal training in both Western and Eastern art practices, and a commitment to experimental art.
