XENA TRANSCRIPTION
Saturday, October 10
Secret Loft Location In Bed-Stuy
Was it all a dream?
Powdered residue drifting across a footpath as clouded mirrors smash. Steam pressed firm against the window. A quill pen splatters and snaps in half. Choir hymns glide in interlude across the floorboards.
And yet, on Saturday, the tenth of October…
Xena Transcription will reconvene for its second iteration at a beautiful loft in Brooklyn to present cutting-edge concepts in visual art and audio on a custom analog system reinforced by Jupiter Sound.
Butoh movements with cello and analog electronics by the scorching hot ensemble, ceremonial disobedience ft. Quique & Demetria Charalambous.
Sonic excursions that zip through dense layers of erratic spatial behavior, off-kilter rhythmic concepts, and possibly some bangers, in a masterclass in live performance from Kamran Sadeghi.
An opening set of sensuous and ethereal body music by Hybrid Identity resident mayilovesummer.
Emotive texture audio, and disintegrating rhythmic catharsis provided by BENT and Xena Transcription founder Serpent In A Straight Line.
WARNING. Løt.te b2b Sploofi may go berserk during this rare and bombastic closing set. Viewer discretion advised, and be prepared 2 sweat.
Come with kindness and respect for your fellow creatures.
This will take place in an intimate loft, act fast as sales are limited. Location will be provided to ticket-holders on the 10th.
Keep it freaky, Keep it cute.

In 2010, he founded the ambient/noise project Divine Slime, which blended electronics with traditional instruments from the Middle East and East Asia. He also co-founded the art and design collective and record label Rote Productions, through which he released experimental records and artworks until 2015. Mehmet started producing and releasing music and performing under the Løt.te name in 2014.

Ananda May AKA mayilovesummer—a New York-based DJ, event producer, and co-founding member of Hybrid Identity @hybrididentity - a podcast and event series highlighting experimental sides of techno and ambient, and promoting gender balance in the electronic music industry. As a musician, they spin a mix of dark, hypnotic, broken beat techno, experimental, and ambient — including references to their roots, by mixing in sounds inspired by Vaishnavism and Eastern sonic patterns. As a vibe curator and culture creator, they aim to establish diverse and inclusive spaces that allow for shared cathartic experiences, while centering and celebrating queer, trans, and female bodies.
