Here’s an interesting trio. Stephen Vitiello is a veteran sound artist, currently based in Virginia, who has collaborated with people like Pauline Oliveros and Ryuichi Sakamoto. In 1999, he was a resident artist at the World Trade Center; imagine how you’d feel about that. Brendan Canty is best-known as the drummer of Fugazi and Rites Of Spring. More recently, Canty formed experimental jazz-rock trio the Messthetics with his Fugazi bandmate Joe Lally; their 2024 collaborative album with James Brandon Lewis got a lot of love around here. Violinist Hahn Rowe, sometimes known as Somatic, used to be in Hugo Largo, a band whose work prefigured the post-rock genre. Rowe has also worked with people like R.E.M., David Byrne, and ANOHNI And The Johnsons.
