Christy & Emily + Myrmyr [CA] +
Tuesday, October 27th (image above by Cecilia Elguero) A sonic wash of electronic & classically-inspired melodic experiments, sure to captivate fans of minimalist tendencies. Christy & Emily deconstruct indie folk into its raw elements, while Kyle Bobby Dunn brings Stars-of-the-Lid-esque compositions of dynamic drone. Myrmyr is a dreamfolk duo creating an intimate chamber music, to be accompanied by Cecilia Elguero's captivating video art.
Christy & Emily Christy plays guitar that swoops in and out of heavy reverb and analog delay. Emily plays vintage keys on a wurlitzer electric piano, and backs it up with deep organ sounds produced by a mini moog synth. Emily is a classically-trained pianist, while Christy is a self-taught indie-rock guitarist. Both occasionally thump on a floor tom, crash and swell cymbals, and play with loops and samples. http://www.christyandemily.com
