The artists:
PUSCHA + KAT
PUSCHA + KAT is a local collab between Jake Richards-Curry and Katerina Stathis. With their shared love of 20th century minimalist approaches, they offer deep thought and reflection while sonically treading uncanny lines between accessible evocations and rich timbral electronic textures. A playful dialogue inducing otherworldly visions for a hopeful future.
