About This Event
At Nowadays, OST & Conditioner: African American Sound Recordings brings chinapoet, Loidis, More Eaze and Purelink. The lineup ranges from chinapoet’s karaoke-informed live arrangements and Loidis’s dub-techno restraint — where space and low-end structure take precedence — to More Eaze’s electroacoustic song fragments and Purelink’s sustained-texture sets framed as listening environments.
About the Artists
CHINAPOET
CHINAPOET is a New York City–based performer working in free-form practice, most often heard at Cassette. At KARAOKE NIGHT, karaoke structures are used as flexible scores, shifting between electronic detail and open texture in response to the room.
Loidis
Loidis is an electronic artist working in dub techno, with sets that lean on restraint and slow-motion pressure rather than big gestures. In New York City, Loidis has appeared at Nowadays, including on bills with Moritz von Oswald and Exos for the event series “Focus: Dub Techno.
More Eaze
More Eaze is an emerging New York City–connected artist working at the edges of rock and pop, with a practice that also draws on electroacoustic and ambient traditions. Their sets often move between song-form fragments and processed sound, pulling in the grain of musique concrète and experimental jazz textures.
Purelink
Purelink is an electronic group working in live performance and DJ contexts, often framing sets as listening environments rather than club-forward showcases. In New York City they have presented work at Reforesters Laboratory, including the event series *Planetary Listening*, a live electronic performance built around sustained texture and gradual change.
