Performance: Doug Leed

On the evening of Wednesday, August 14th we are proud to present Jamison Williamson (FL) and Patrizia Finzi’s (Luxemborg) free/doom duo Book 4, performance artist/experimental musician Njick Weckman (CMH), and experimental electronic musician Doug Leed (CMH) w/collaboration on visuals with Krista Faist (CMH).
About the artists: Doug Leed (aka Dogboy) is an extemporaneous instrumentalist from Columbus, OH. Having played guitar in traditional rock bands for over 30 years, he now also plays a combo of touch pad synthesizers, loopers, and effects pedals to create psychedelic and experimental soundscapes. Doug plays a similar setup in the band Cynders and also plays guitar and does vocals for Sonic Roach Destruction Unit.
VR/AI/moving image artist Krista’s physical work is largely comprised of watercolor crayon and reductive wax paintings on decorative plate glass, as well as intricate sculptures made from found objects and junk store items. With both mediums, she has sought to represent aesthetic over-stimulation that leads to expansiveness of imagination and wonder, much like that experienced in childhood when one visits a candy shop. As a child, she had a strong desire to see all colors and textures at once, including colors never seen before. With each project, she sets out to re-capture this feeling of simulated desire and satisfaction. She believes that this desire to satiate our hunger for wonderment with consumerist impulses is innately human, and her aim is to bring this incongruence to light via her immersive, audio reactive, and VR works.
