Elizabeth A. B<\/strong>aker
FRIDAY OCTOBER 16, 2020 | 8 PM<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Described as a \u201cnew renaissance artist\u201d, Elizabeth A. Baker is a dramatic performer with an honest, near psychic connection to music. As a creator, her understanding of sonic space from organic intuition and studies in music production, pair with a unique eclectic voice, making for a spatial and auditory experience of music. Her work expands into a variety of media; chiefly an exploration of how sonic and spatial worlds can be manipulated to personify a variety of philosophies and principles both tangible as well as intangible.

For this performance, Elizabeth presents two brand new short films featuring her original music: “pink.soft”, and “purple.soft”. Also featuring a pre-recorded performance of her work “FIELD STUDIES”<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
