Cecyl Ruehlen & Chelsey Lee Trejo perform long form compositions together with re-fabricated resonant objects, vibrational drones, bass clarinet, soprano saxophone, chord organ, bass guitar, effects, bells, tiny objects, noise, and amplification as a method of invoking topos. Their collaboration grows out of the traditions and textures of drone musics, especially in how it manifests in the southwestern US desert communities.

Transfiguration of sound in motion through rising activation and an undulating state of perpetual transition between Trejo's fabricated, resonant metal objects/ MS-20 synthesizer, and Ruehlen's "Hexachimeric Drone"--a handmade configuration of 6 re-imagined electric string instruments with intuitive pitch systems. These slow gliding pitches and textures are built into a collaborative field of joyous deep listening, and shifting micro-tonal positions.
