The event features Norman Sylvester, Ural Thomas, Paul Knauls, J.W. Friday, Mel Brown and Calvin Walker. Archival photography showcasing Abina’s historic music culture will be presented in conjunction with the conversation. In addition, kiosks displaying Albina Music Trust’s digital archive will be live throughout the venue. Arrive early and learn more about this important preservation effort, experience the user interface, and share feedback in advance of the archive’s 2024 public release. Albina Music Trust is preserving North Portland’s music culture with programming that documents the Black community’s oral history, archival media, and special events. In collaboration with Albina musicians, founders Bobby Smith and Calvin Walker have brought to light a definitive catalog of historic regional music and the memories of its creators. This preservation initiative is a program of the World Arts Foundation, serving Oregonians at the intersection of arts and education since 1976.

Fyield: live performance + Invisible Landscapes short film screening – w/ Moss Wand, Saapato, Patricia Wolf (DJ set) – 21+

On their debut album, Future Landscapes, the Czech-Icelandic collaboration fyield explores the locations used to satiate the needs of our society in terms of power consumption and nourishment, or places impacted by the exigencies of industrial society. Altogether, the artists’ adventurous journey shows us how solutions to existing problems bring new, often unsuspected and complicated issues. By focusing on the sound that emanates from technological, power-generating and other entities, they testify to our existence beyond the visible. Their work portrays unique entities that don’t usually attract our attention – even though our civilisation depends on them. They are not people, mythical figures or animals, but technological devices and ecosystems that open up questions about our climate future.  The album was preceded by a sonic expedition. A group of musicians, accompanied by leading European field recordists, Sara Pinheiro from Portugal and Magnús Bergsson from Iceland, visited eight locations in the Czech Republic and Iceland. With the help of special instruments such as hydrophones, geophones, ambeo or electromagnetic sensors, they listened to the manifestations of infrastructures that the human ear alone cannot hear.  fyield’s compositions bring us close to, or inside, the organs of geothermal, hydroelectric or coal-fired power plants, a CO2 repository, an aquaponic farm, a lagoon created by melting glaciers, and an oil well. The Czech Republic and Iceland represent countries with contrasting approaches to CO2 production. The Czech fossil-fuel-impacted landscape is juxtaposed with the seemingly environmentally sensitive Iceland, where the technology it employs poses a number of problems of a completely different type. fyield warns us that it is futile to hope for a single save-all solution to the climate crisis.  fyield brings together leading figures of the Czech and Icelandic independent music scene. Czech musicians Václav Havelka and Kryštof Kříček from the band Please The Trees are joined by Iceland’s Pan Thorarensen, a member of the ambient trio Stereo Hypnosis and founder of the international experimental music festival Extreme Chill, which has been held in Reykjavik since 2010.    Director Ivo Bystřičan brings from this expedition the short film Invisible Landscapes, which will be screened this evening. with support from Portland’s own Moss Wand, a DJ set from Patricia Wolf, and a special set from New York based field recordist Saapato.

Liv.e, Stas THEE Boss, Israel Autumns, Tha Day – All Ages – presented by Sean Healy

Liv.e, pronounced “Liv” (born Hailee Olivia Williams in Dallas, Texas) is an American singer-songwriter, rapper and producer who mixes facets of R&B, jazz, soul, and hip hop to create a sound that is wholly her own. Coupling her hypnotic voice and unique writing over dusty loops and sun soaked production, Liv.e makes songs that are both eclectic and timeless without sounding dated. While it’s difficult to label Liv.e’s music under one genre or scene, it is born out of production based on samples pulled from vinyl in Dallas record shops, southern rap, and her upbringing in Dallas with local DIY label Dolfin Records. She also raps under the alias Jade Fox, forming a supergroup with fellow Dolfin labelmate Lord Byron and Pink Siifu under the name Kryptonyte. Liv.e started to garner attention with her 2017 project FRANK and 2018’s Hoopdreams, which led to her supporting Earl Sweatshirt on the 2019 Fire It Up Tour alongside BbyMutha, MIKE and Na-Kel Smith; as well as featuring on “MTOMB” from Earl’s EP Feet of Clay. On July 30, 2020, she released her debut album Couldn’t Wait to Tell You… to critical acclaim, featuring guest appearances from C.S. Armstrong, Lord Byron and Akeema Zane. Exactly a year later on the album’s first anniversary, she would follow this up with CWTTY+, a deluxe companion to the album with 6 brand new tracks.
