Whitney Johnson
Body Sound
Whitney Johnson, Lia Kohl, and Macie Stewart are a trio who utilize string instruments, voices, and manual tape effect processing to craft compositions from alternately tranquil and disquieting improvised music. The three musicians are individually rooted in deep sound exploration, multi-disciplinary composition, and all manner of cross-genre collaboration.

Hav
Whitney Johnson, alter-ego of psychoacoustic voyager Matchess, debuts with a new composition that meditates on the duality of the human body. An instrument that collates awesome sensory pleasures, allows us to feel, and, best of all, to hear music, it’s also forever wearing on its slow death march. Using sine waves, marimba, viola, Arp Odyssey and Halldorophone, Whitney radiates healing waves to soothe and heal our flawed, but inspiring system.
