KRYSSI + WEDNESDAY

Kryssi Battalene (Mountain Movers, Headroom, Rock Candy) is known for her  novel approaches to guitar virtuosity within the context of psychedelic  music, both experimental and rock and roll.  Focusing on an  evocative minimalism that emphasizes tone, timbre and pacing, her work  engages an active and evolving harmolodics that embraces both  abstraction and melodic elegance.

Wednesday  Knudsen (Pigeons, Weeping Bong Band, Stella Kola) is a woodwind  multi-instrumentalist whose solo practice is oriented toward an  ambient-experimental mode.  Her work engages an interplay  between compositional and improvisational approaches, exploring  interactions of environmental context and notions of occasion with given  sets of dynamic musical parameters.  

Kryssi and Wednesday’s musical collaboration has its basis in an intentional  attunement to the slow motions of an earth-cosmic awareness.  Using  an improvisational mode that draws inspiration from non-musical  contexts of environmental beauty and emotional well-being, their music  is an effort to explore harmonic and rhythmic modalities that might  engage in and encourage a perceptual shift toward calmness.

GANESH + WOLFE is a duo emerging from a shared practice of divination and duration. Formed during a tarot reading set to Morton Feldman, they make drone music structured by astrological time and slow decay. Homage to pedal steel, tape delay, and amplifier resonance traces a sound that turns on itself, from desolate to devotional, holding the listener in the paradox of motionless change. 


Ananya Ganesh is an improviser and composer from Madras based in North America. Her practice spans piano, voice, philosophy, and the embodied ear. She explores indeterminacy and dissonance by shaping modular, open forms that lie between the unrealizable and what still could be.

Amber Wolfe performs compositions and improvisations with guitar, electronics, and voice. She experiments with astrology as a mode of indeterminate musical composition. Amber creates ecological sound art with Zizia.

BEN RICHTER is a composer, accordionist, and director of Ghost Ensemble. Inspired by nonhuman consciousness and Deep Listening, Ben's music often explores the interactions among gradual transformations across perceptual thresholds to orient toward the expansive timescales of geologic and ecological systems. Ben’s original accordion works, such as Panthalassa: Dream Music of the Once and Future Ocean (2017) and the double album Aurogeny (2023, Infrequent Seams), explore just intonation and airflow preparations that expand the instrument’s microtonal and timbral capacities. Ben's recent albums as a composer include Rewild with Ghost Ensemble (2024, New World Records), Dissolution Seedlings with House On Fire (2024, Sawyer Editions), and a forthcoming suite of works for organ, quarter-tone accordion, and low strings with Sedimental (2026).
