​LIFT #06: Yaz Lancaster + Adder (in 24.2-channel spatial audio)

​LIFT is an event series at the Reforesters Laboratory exploring the ambient fringes of the hardcore continuum in 24.2-channel spatial audio.

​The expansive practice of NYC-based experimental artist Yaz Lancaster encompasses live electroacoustic performances, improvisation, notated compositions, and open-format DJ sets. As a DJ, they frequently combine percussive and traditional musics of the global south, Black American dance genres, and hardcore kicks in high-energy club sets – and “literally anything” for the radio in fluid, narrative-driven mixes.

​Adder is a Brooklyn-based producer and music artist working between avant-pop, experimental electronic, ambient, and club music. Through experimental sound design, abstract songwriting, and impressionistic lyricism, he aims to enable listeners to explore the emerging anxieties of contemporary existence, together.
