Electronic Shows in Chicago

longstoryshort, the New York DJ and producer’s career is an act of subversion illustrating in real-time that the most compelling art comes from a refusal to conform. This mentality imbues his music, yielding a sound that’s one of zero. It’s nuanced and unconventional, a sonic signature shaped by UK garage, future garage, and bass house influence. Dark, forward-thinking, and deeply resonant, it’s “dance music for the heavy-hearted,” as he calls it — melodic enough to evoke emotion, heavy enough to shake a warehouse at 2 AM. longstoryshort’s rising profile is built on a strong foundation of mostly solo originalproductions that trace back to 2019 and have prompted releases on prominentlabels like Pilot (UKF), NIGHTMODE, and Circus Records. This includes fourEPs and a slate of official remixes for artists including The Bloody Beetroots , Dillon Francis , and ODESZA, to name just a few.

Independent local night out.

Violinist Austin Wulliman celebrates the release of his latest record for multi-tracked violins and electronics on the Argentinean label Sello Pasmoso: "un árbol es una canoa pero también es este violín". Wulliman will perform a wide range of works ranging from the soaring, lyrical virtuosity of Tania Leon's "abanico" to the moody vibes of Yaz Lancaster's "ISOLATION" and the swirling noise of Daniel Bruno's title track. Wulliman will be joined by violinist Theo Ramsey to realize a live version of Vicente Atria's playful, canonic maze of phasing "faz" from the record, as well as Christopher Otto's mysteriously vibrating microtonal "Violin Duo". Also on the program is a luscious sound bath from Connor Elias Way and fantastical, noisy bird songs from Pablo Chin, and new original music from Wulliman.
