Please join us for this very special music event in the dome! Alchemy welcomes Olympia-based experimental sound musician Arrington de Dionyso and musicians-in-residence Emerald Vernon-Lapow and Rob Summerlin, and kicks off the 2023 East Coast tour of John Bellows and Glenn Hendrick.

Arrington de Dionyso conjures Utopic Spaces with multiphonic vocal work & minimalist instrumentation. It is shamanic seance meets rock and roll ecstasy; “TRANCE PUNK” combining traditional ritual trance, electrified experimental approaches, dancehall rhythms, gamelan scales and mystically inspired Indonesian incantations. Arrington is visiting from Olympia, Washington.

Ephemerald is a musical Artist-in-Residence this month at Alchemy. The foundation of her songwriting was initially composed via omnichord, a vintage electronic autoharp of sorts made by Suzuki. She has more recently put her discipline into guitar and hovers her soft emotive lyrics above suspended picking progressions. Ephemerald currently records, performs, and collaborates out of the Bay Area.

Rob Summerlin is also joining us from the Bay Area. His lyrics are often character-based and narrative-driven. He just celebrated a recent album release of his songs by hosting an all inclusive prom in the Bay Area community. This month at Alchemy he is focusing on a new musical, working out songs on piano.  Me and You and Jackie and Mike

Local luminaries John Bellows and Glenn Hendrick have teamed up as a stripped down psych folk duo and put together a handful of songs featuring flute, bass, and harmonies by Glenn with John’s finger-picked tunes. They will showcase a few new songs before taking off on their 2023 East Coast tour.
