“Entering Telekinesis’ sound world, one feels like an explorer discovering a planet located at the far reaches of a distant galaxy… a journey that is at once exhilarating, terrifying and alienating.”

About the Artist
Skyler Hill is a sound maker, performer, and improviser who is deeply interested in dissolving sonic, social, and performative boundaries. Currently, they are pursuing research into interactive musical spaces and creating a new form of musical game, titled House, which questions the audience-performer binary and allows for experimental forms of participation. Under the name Wavy Enneper, they also recently completed a concept EP which documents the process of trans becoming through the musical embodiments of anxiety, euphoria, and self acceptance. With backgrounds in jazz and improvisation, the making of sound in particular moments and environments is a lens through which many of their projects are focused. However, they are also active as a producer, electronic/electroacoustic artist, and mixing and mastering engineer, working with sound in unique ways through analog and digital means. A recent piece of theirs which combines many of these methods is Mood, Irrealis, for string quintet, saxophone, voice, and electronics. Written, arranged, recorded, mixed, and mastered by them, this piece shows the beginning-to-end process of music making that they’ve grown to enjoy, as well as the combinations of song and experimentalism that informs much of their work.

“A work that pursues not only the strangeness of electronic instruments and acoustic instruments, but also creates an environment where you can coexist in a place where you can feel organically.”
“Life Returns is a monumental work that melds free improvisation and through composition to celebrate resilience and triumph in the face of despair."
“I don't think there's a more exciting contemporary composer than Tyondai Braxton… The electroacoustic action ebbs and flows, clashing with operatic drama one moment before crocheting a finely-textured silence with Braxton's ominous electronics… The eighty-seven players at work crafted a tremendous sonic adventure.”
Here’s a few highlights from the project, including the rehearsals over the past few weeks and the inspiring and massively popular performances February 11–12.
