abriefA Brief View of the Hudson: Folk-infused tunes of Americana and male-female vocal trade-offs. With a classic sound and one of those adorable origin stories of chance run-ins in the concrete jungle, the NYC-based band is everything you imagine of the 60s.

momoMokomokai: Heavy metal thunder inspired by Judas Priest, Deep Purple, and Black Sabbath. Flashy riffs, operatic vocals, solo, and righteousness. You’ll think you’re back in 1979, so dress appropriately.

Kyle Duffield “Trace” Hashtag Gallery @ 9 PM

Trace is an interactive audio/video installation that allows its users to control both light and sound through gesture. Users face the lens of the projector and use their hands to control both the beams of light as well as sound so that they can create their own sound/light compositions.

Trace is a light sculpting instrument, where each hand plays a different sound and controls a separate beam of light. Users can see, hear, feel, and manipulate the forms that they create. When the user stops moving, the light instrument stops, but there is a delay effect on both light and image so that users can observe and build upon the patterns they have created.
