How You Get High New York Performances

At National Sawdust, the other *How You Get High* arrives in an electronic setting that treats the voice as both narrator and instrument. Countertenor Anthony Roth Costanzo is among the featured performers, working inside a live framework where pulse, processing, and breath share the foreground. The title points to altered states and their social circuitry, less as spectacle than as a set of questions about agency and appetite. In New York’s ongoing conversation between new music and downtown production culture, the piece reads as a clear-eyed report from inside the machine.
