Unheard-of performs multimedia premieres with explosive visuals, hyper-pop electronics, and prophetic musical storytelling. This program features Christopher Stark’s Maple, Annika Socolofsky’s Let the more loving one be me, a new premiere from David Bird, and Christian Quiñones’s My Eyes Devour the Internet. 

Stark’s Maple captures the intensity and devastation of Yellowstone’s 2016 Maple fire through bending electronic loops and field recordings morphed into dance rhythms, examining the anxiety in between the forces of nature and technology. Socolofsky’s Let the more loving one be me is a sonic documentary of the histories and stories of queer elders, capturing their stories while they are still here. Quiñones’s My Eyes Devour the Internet is a maximalist romp through digital excess, from overpowering virtual vocaloid synths to the overpowering meme-fluenced hyperpop.
