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.
