Feedback for Cats and Dogs

Using small speakers, walkie talkies and large tubes, Carol and Nick explore comfort station through minute sounds and musical gestures.

Carol Genetti is a Chicago-based vocalist whose work encompasses sound and visual art media. Her practice is grounded in free improvisation in a desire to release unintended outcomes. Her vocal palette is primordial, existing in a space where “language” and “music” have yet to be formulated into familiar cultural patterns. She has performed with improvising musicians, including Jack Wright, Birgit Ulher, Jon Mueller, Claire Rousay, Peter Maunu, Eric Leonardson, Olivia Block, Jim Baker and many others.

Nick Meryhew is an experimental musician, arts educator, improviser, and passionate home cook. Their work explores the elasticity of time and the absurdity of the mundane through a sculptural approach to found sound. Their work has been presented at Tritriangle, No Nation, MCA Chicago, the Neo-Futurists, Babycastles (NYC), Mirrorlab (Minneapolis), Experimental Sound Studio, and Roman Susan, among others. They currently perform solo and with Tallulah Bankheist, Heavy Tiny, Paradise Complete, and as a sound designer with Runaway Labs Theater. They run a silly net label called Hambag.
