Cyane (fka Dolphin Midwives), Meroitic, Cha Cha

Due to an injury, this event was rescheduled from Feb 7th over to April 14th. All tickets purchased for the February date will be honored at this new April date. Cyane is the new project of Portland experimental composer, harpist, and vocalist, Sage Fisher. Through the lens of the naiad, Cyane, she explores the impossible betweens and shadows inhabited by femmes, both currently and throughout western colonialist history, as well as the immense resilience and power in witnessing, honoring and bringing to light the hidden intricacies of this ancestral balancing act. Inspired by early choral music, electronic pop, avant classical and R&B, Cyane uses harp, voice and electronics for a performance that dances between disguise and exposé. meroitic is a sound & movement based project of black interdisciplinary/multidisciplinary artist & composer jamondria harris. Their work uses words, sounds, wires, theremin, synthesizers,instruments, textiles & what falls into their hands to engage with blackness, desire, spirit/source,narratology/folklore, & ontologies of liberation & embodiment.Their sound art emerges from deep-listening fluidity between rhythm & source, engendering sonic cartographies woven from samples, feedback, the electromagnetic field of bodies & rooms and both digital and analog synthesizer soundscapes.Their albums are available on Fallen Moon Recordings. Conjuring sound spells via vinyl, digital field recordings, tape and live sound manipulation, Cha Cha moves beyond DJ performance and into sound curation and vibe management. Drawing on experiences from Chill Rooms in the late 90s Portland Rave scene, Cha Cha knows the value and art of creating one of a kind sound environments that transcend time, space, and sub bass.
