Altær: Lars Huismann / Lindsey Herbert / Auspex /Jason Kendig /Will Automagic /Cosmo /Ryan Farr
About This Event
Altær brings Lars Huismann, Lindsey Herbert, Auspex, Jason Kendig, Will Automagic, Cosmo, and Ryan Farr to BASEMENT. Across the bill—from Huismann’s incremental techno arcs and Auspex’s propulsion-and-control sets to Cosmo’s hardware-informed timbral work and the long-form pacing of Herbert, Kendig, Will Automagic, and Farr—performances favor restrained transitions, structural clarity, and sustained attention to rhythm and texture over quick pivots.
