Umiris: Rock Band in New York

About Umiris

Umiris is a group working in free music and improvisation, active around New York City’s small-room performance circuit. At Sleepwalk, they’ve appeared on bills with Shadow Monster, Substitute, and QWAM, situating their work inside a community that values close listening and collective decisions in real time. Their sets prioritize group dynamics over fixed repertoire, with form emerging through interaction rather than prewritten structure. The music tends to favor process over display.
