    About This Event

    Pierce Abernathy, an electronic artist whose releases sit close to theatrical songcraft and are tagged under Spotify’s “musicals,” brings EVERY LEAF, EVERY STEM to Public Records as a book release staged as a live set. With a mid-range platform profile of roughly 21,000 followers, his performances emphasize structure and narrative pacing, using electronics as a staging tool rather than a display of technique.

    About EVERY LEAF, EVERY STEM

    EVERY LEAF, EVERY STEM arrives at Public Records as a live electronic set built around close listening and gradual change. Featured performer Pierce Abernathy works with rhythm and texture rather than hooks, letting small shifts accumulate into structure. In a city where club culture often rewards immediacy, the piece makes a case for patience as an aesthetic stance. No specific NYC premiere history has been announced, but its presentation at this Brooklyn venue places it within New York’s ongoing conversation between nightlife, performance, and sound art.
