K/S/R, Nishi-Smith + Nakamura, Djll + Day + Corcoran, Max Abner
K/S/R (the New Mexico & Hudson Valley based trio of Ben Kujawski, Abigail Smith & Justin Rhody) have been performing and recording together since 2022. During that time they’ve released multiple cassettes, CD’s and vinyl records, and devastated audiences across the country with multi-projector expanded cinema performances. On the group’s recent ‘Already in Heaven’ LP, violin, percussion, lap steel, accordion, flute, guitar, harmonica, and rhodes piano are stretched, damaged and made to sing through various extended techniques. The trio’s non-concentric approach to collective improvisation mirrors the dark harmonic density and symbiotic formal structures of the cosmos. Industrial work zones are also a major inspiration. K/S/R’s intention is to drag the listener through an amorphous subterranean chimera toward an ever elusive horizon. Desert Crawl.
