APLR Presents: Setting with XOR

Doors 6PM || Show 7 PM || $21.49 adv. Event Details and Tickets

The North Carolina Piedmont-based trio of Setting bring together their substantial collective skills as musicians and their collaborative, explorative mindsets from groups such as Mind Over Mirrors, Califone, Black Twig Pickers, Pelt, Peeesseye, Sylvan Esso, and Jake Xerxes Fussell to bear in their inventive and rich improvisations. Multi- instrumentalists Jaime Fennelly, Nathan Bowles and Joe Westerlund subvert expectations while creating a sense of ease and wonderment. Their intricate interplay of synthesizers, cassette loops, banjo, keyboards, electronics, zithers, and a litany of percussive instruments form a tactile amalgam of celestial transcendence and terrestrial rhythm, a loamy pulse fluidly guiding every minute fluctuation in feel.

XORMatthew lives atop a mountain on the eastern continental divide. He grows over a dozen fruit and nut trees. Ever year, he plants more berries. He has been bitten by a copperhead and would not recommend it. He also makes music and art under the name XOR.

The AyurPrana Listening Room was constructed within the walls of a former church and built to compliment and expand upon the natural acoustics of the room by way of fresh audio equipment and extraordinary sound treatment. Interplaced between acoustic panels and rustically braced arches, sliding panels adorn the windows and upstage walls allowing the ability to fine-tune the liveliness of the room. The AyurPrana Listening Room is part of a wellness village that seeks to elevate consciousness through music, movement, education and healing. ayurpranalisteningroom.com
