Ekmeles
Ekmeles is a vocal ensemble dedicated to the performance of new and rarely-heard works, and gems of the historical avant garde. New York is home to a vibrant instrumental New Music scene, with a relative paucity of vocal music. Ekmeles was founded to fill the gap by presenting new a cappella repertoire for solo voices, and by collaborating with these instrumental ensembles.
Alkemie/freelance nun
Alkemie
Alkemie is passionate about exploring and celebrating the vibrant and timeless sounds of the past.
Our musical journey transports us to the enchanting world of medieval court and folk music, and we are fervently committed to dismantling the barriers that have traditionally separated these two domains from each other and from the present.
freelance nun
from the womb of constraint and uncertainty that was the covid era, serendipitous transmutation unfolded within the hallowed halls of quarantined creativity. born from the esteemed medieval ensemble, alkemie, emerged freelance nun: its genesis was as unexpected as it was transformative, as medieval specialists found themselves intertwined in a shared sequester with electronic wizards, they all broke through the confines of their own expertise to create something truly otherworldly.
lakewhales
lakewhales lives in brooklyn, new york. mostly. lakewhales started as the wretched brainchild of guitarist and producer/engineer charles mueller in 2015. lakewhales now also contains elisa sutherland (vocals), margaret sohn (guitar and vocals), sean kane (bass) and cameron lacrone (drums). lakewhales is a little bit indie rock, a little bit psych, and a little bit lo-fi maritime jazz. lakewhales has made a few recordings, but we’re especially chuffed about our debut ‘baleen dreams’ ep. lakewhales has been on hiatus since 2019.
Photos
Check out my photos from home and abroad! I love taking a camera with me when I travel (or go for a walk in my neighborhood) - here are some of the few that turned out.
Pictures are shot on a Pentax K1000 or Olympus OM-1, using a variety of different film (but I usually use Fujifilm 200 because it’s cheapest).
