DANIEL WOHL PREVIEWS MULTISENSORY ‘HOLOGRAPHIC’ at MASS MoCA
(NORTH ADAMS, Mass.) — After a weeklong residency at the cultural laboratory, Daniel Wohl presents a work-in-progress performance of Holographic, a “multi-sensory audience experience” featuring a blend of acoustic instruments and rich electronic creations, accompanied by artist Daniel Schwarz’s lush visuals, in the Hunter Center at MASS MoCA on Saturday, January 16, at 8pm. Created by Paris-born and Brooklyn-based Wohl, who “blurs the line between electronic and acoustic instrumentation and seemingly melts both elements into a greater organic whole” (WNYC), the music incorporates an improbable combination of sounds, inspired by new ideas in modern science and humanity’s symbiotic relationship with technological creations.

DARLINGSIDE BRINGS WILLIAMS-TRAINED HARMONIES and ROOTSY CHAMBER-FOLK to HELSINKI HUDSON
(HUDSON, N.Y.) – Massachusetts-based indie-folk quartet Darlingside brings its singular four-part harmonies and classically influenced chamber-pop to Club Helsinki Hudson on Thursday, January 14, at 8pm. . The group’s most recent album, “Birds Say,” is the first to capture fully the soaring arrangements, sophisticated harmonies, and rousing rhythms, making the group a kind of missing link between Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young and Mumford & Sons. Vermont-based DuPont Brothers will open the show.
