Bill Chamberlain (aka Bill Pist) passed away in July 2025. He was a relentless force behind countless political punk bands, including The Pist, Mankind?, React, Caustic Christ, Behind Enemy Lines, The Dissidents, The Brood, and many more. Beginning in the early 90s, Bill’s uncompromising activism, DIY ethic, and anti-authoritarian message helped shape Baltimore’s punk scene. We come together to honor his life, his legacy, and the lasting impact he had on generations of punks who were inspired by his message that punk is not just music - its a movement, a community, and a unifying force against oppression.

From Dorothy Roberts, author of Killing the Black Body and a writer who “has brilliantly illuminated the Black experience in America for decades” (Bryan Stevenson), comes a spirited and riveting memoir of growing up in an interracial family in 1960s Chicago and a daughter’s journey to understand her parents’ marriage—and her own identity.

Safety Bear is an independent Hi-NRG electronic artist who weaves together pulsing dance beats and immersive atmospheres with subject matter typically alien to the dance floor. Safety Bear’s energetic live performances and studio recordings deliver original Hi-NRG bangers (and the occasional re-imagined dance classic) via the intriguing guise of a neurotic (and slightly injured) teddy bear.

Sad Veiled Bride leads the audience on a lo-fi journey through personal grievances and ennui. Employing the ukulele as a centerpiece, Stanton crafts melancholic ditties that serve as cathartic laments for the artist and listener. 80’s influenced electronic beats and flourishes propel the mercifully short songs to satisfying yet ambiguous ends.

Ella Gallogly spent decades honing her guitar, drum, and vocal skills, eagerly dives into life's darker moments, turning them into searing light through soul-searching tunes.

Outside Time presents an evening with Lifted to celebrate the release of Movie.

Lifted is the duo of Andrew Field Pickering (Max D, Dolo Percussion, Beautiful Swimmers) and Matt Papich (Co La, Ecstatic Sunshine). Movie, their first release for rising DC-based label Outside Time, is like a film shot with microphones rather than cameras, using the pacing, spatialization, and semiotics of cinematic sound design to lead us through a surreal soundworld that draws as much from Foley artistry as dub, jazz, and electronic music.

more eaze is the project of Brooklyn-based sound artist and multi-instrumentalist Mari Maurice. Ranging from ambient pop to folk and musique concrete, her numerous solo and collaborative releases weave mundane, everyday sounds, acoustic orchestration and instrumentation, and electronics into adventurous textural compositions that move seamlessly between the banal and the ethereal.

Earthen Sea is the experimental ambient/beat solo project of Jacob Long. He crafts a compelling synthesis of shadowy rhythms and opaque atmospherics, drawing on the most potent qualities of melancholic ambient and dub techno. Recently his live sets have involved a return to drone oriented live performance that features his saxophone playing.

Paolo Angeli is considered one of the most important innovators on the international music scene. Originally from Palau (at the northern tip of Sardinia), he grew up with his gaze turned toward the sea. Starting from the traditional instrument, thanks to a decade-long apprenticeship with master Giovanni Scanu and the influences of 20th-century avant-garde visionaries, he created the prepared Sardinian guitar, a true orchestra-instrument. Since the mid-1990s, he has embraced influences from free jazz, folk noise, minimal pop, contemporary flamenco, Arabic music, and post-rock, reachin at a synthesis language that brings Sardinian traditional music into the contemporary world. Improvisation is the driving force behind Paolo Angeli’s 30-year career, not only as a means of connecting and developing compositional structures but also as a practice of communication among musicians from diverse latitudes and musical cultures. His journey reached a milestone in 2018 with a performance at Carnegie Hall in New York, cementing his place among the world’s leading “innovators with roots” and defining a groundbreaking path for Mediterranean avant-garde music.

Transparent Productions presents...

Michael Foster (sax), Zach Rowden (bass & tapes), and Joey Sullivan (drums)

Michael Foster is a saxophonist and multi-instrumentalist working in the fields of free improvisation, noise, free jazz, graphic & video notation, performance art, and other forms of weird music. Foster utilizes extensive instrumental preparations, augmenting his saxophone with amplification, objects, balloons, drum heads, vibrators, tapes, and samples as a method of subverting and queering the instrument’s history and traditional roles.

In addition to his work as a performer he is also active as a curator throughout New York City, co-founding "Queer Trash," a curatorial collective focusing on providing visibility to LGBTQIA+ performers engaged in experimental performance practices. In 2018, "Queer Trash" was the Suzanne Fiol Curatorial Fellow for Issue Project Room, producing a year's worth of performances that ranged from harsh noise to fashion.

CityLit, in partnership with Greedy Reads, presents:

A Premise Isn’t a Plot: Putting Momentum into Any Manuscript

A Master Class with COURTNEY MAUM, author of Before and After the Book Deal

June 9, 2026 | Greedy Reads - Remington | 320 West 29th Street, Baltimore, MD 21201

Let us know you'll be there by registering here!

Courtney Maum's books will be available for purchase at the event. If you'd like to preorder your copy of Before and After the Book Deal, you can do so here!

Join us as we welcome Courtney Maum, author of Before and After the Book Deal, for a master class on how she transformed a good idea for a novel — Alan Opts Out — into a manuscript that went to auction for U.S. rights and film rights and was pre-empted in the UK.

After hearing the changes Courtney made to her novel, Alan Opts Out, before it went on submission, Courtney will share the following techniques to help writers of any genre deepen their existing plot or create one from almost-scratch if you don’t have a plot, yet, or are working in memoir. Participants should attend with their own manuscripts in mind.

In this class, you’ll learn:

· An exploration of how book titles set a project up to soar—or fail.

· A drawing exercise to help you visualize your book as a whole on a single page.

· A Mad-Lib formula to help you discern whether you have a selling plot or not.

· The Hollywood make-or-break exercise that Courtney personally failed.

This class is appropriate for writers of all levels working in any genre except poetry. Simply bring enthusiasm, lots of paper, and a willingness to learn. Limited seating. Snatch a seat. Make a plan. Notebooks, essential. Courtney Maum is an author and publishing expert who speaks truths about a tricky industry. The author of six books, she's also the force behind the author guidebook and bestselling Substack, Before and After the Book Deal.

Along with her latest novel, Alan Opts Out, Courtney Maum is the author of five previous books, including the romantic comedy Touch (A New York Times Editors’ Choice) and the memoir The Year of the Horses, chosen by the Today show as one of the best reads for mental health awareness. Creator of the groundbreaking publishing guidebook Before and After the Book Deal and the bestselling Substack newsletter by the same name, Maum is an educator and writing coach hellbent on preserving the joy of art-making in a culture obsessed with turning artists into brands. In addition to her advocacy work for writers at The Author’s Guild, Courtney runs a workshop in New Mexico where she combines twenty years of experience in advertising with a deep love of craft to help writers boost their confidence and industry know-how.

Bearduo

Bearduo is a saxophone duo consisting of Aaron Kaufman-Levine on Alto Saxophone and Garrett Frees on Tenor Saxophone. Dear friends and collaborators since 2015, Aaron and Garrett started improvising together as a duo in their first semester together at New England Conservatory (Fall 2019). What began as a fun practice routine became a daily rehearsing group that vowed to push each other and themselves to find their own way to approach improvised music on the saxophone. Bearduo brings a unique and spontaneous creation to each performance that reflects their shared musical language and deep connection. Their first self-titled record Bearduo released in July 2025 with a focus on long form improvisation, scale and interaction between the two performers.

Charlie Reichert Powell & New River

Charlie Reichert Powell, based in Baltimore, is an artist interested in sound and structure; the guitar and computer; the spectrum between improvisation and composition; tactility, connections, movement, and spaces. His first album with his group New River, I Am Return To Where, explores recontextualization and repetition and came out on Shinyboy Press in 2024. This iteration of New River features Sam Pluta on electronics, Nico Wohl on guitar, and Mike Kuhl on drums.

Hailed by The Wire as “A grand menagerie of creative music,” Seventh Stanine is a gathering of artists who, against all promise of financial gain, notoriety, or any of the usual tropes associated with playing music, continue to make art because they have to; they can't imagine their lives without it. As described in the Washington Post in 2025 by pop music critic Chris Richards, “The mere idea of a “music festival” implies a certain bigness, but what if instead of inviting audiences into a treasure vault, organizers offered a glimpse into a jewel box?”

Kalia Vandever (they/them) is a trombonist and composer living in New York. Praised by AllMusic as “a master musician and composer” and “a singular talent,” Vandever’s approach to the trombone is distinctive, defined by their sonorous tone and lyrical voicing. They lean into the challenges of the instrument and allow patience and melody to guide their process. Vandever’s music has quickly and widely gained traction in the last few years despite the fact that their style has been consistently difficult to pin down, boasting a compositional scope ranging from the palatial modern jazz of their quartet work (notably featuring guitarist Mary Halvorson) to the synthetic, gauze-like droning ambience of their solo material, their compositional practice draws from their love of both songs and improvisation, creating a landscape of sounds that resonate in the body and hold the listener. This dexterity has not gone unnoticed, with The Wire asserting, “Vandever has never sounded more assured and in control of their many strengths.”

Emily Francisco is an artist and educator based in Washington DC. Their work has been reviewed and discussed by Hackaday, The Washington Post, Hyperallergic, the Media Archeology Lab, Smithsonian American Art Museum, and at The National Gallery of Art. A five-time Janet and Walter Sondheim Award semi-finalist, her work is currently on view at The Delaware Contemporary through August 2026. Alex Tyson is an artist and musician based in Washington, DC. As a musician, they’ve been a featured artist at SXSW and have played a Tiny Desk… But always with others. Their visual work lives somewhere between the screen and studio floor: generative visuals, robots, metal, plaster, and lately lasers. They are a recipient of a grant from the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts.

niki afsar: 'i am a nonbinary/femme, iranian-american writer and interdisclipinary artist. my work explores not only longing but also the lack that persists in my relationships to language and mythologies of identity. these liminal spaces of void are where desire lives. they are essential for change and reinvention. i employ a number of mediums including devised movement and performance; poetry and text; live singing and recording using a vocal loop machine; sound collaging; and more recently, mirror work.'

FOMO - an artist salon / creative communion

Masks required & provided

*please register for event even if you acquire a free ticket!*

This event is meant to be a soft place to land, a creative communion that explores themes of suffering and resistance. We think of FOMO or the fear of missing out as something that self-taught artists might experience, and therefore want to facilitate a supportive discussion in relation to that. The event will include: check in & mingling; shared group craft; facilitated group discussion; closing performance by amo. Feel free to bring a craft you are working on or pieces you are called to share!

LIVE CINEMA IS NOW!

99 Hooker (NYC) - Dancing with Moloch,30 minute live performance mixing B movies, ads, docs, live camera, ecstatic dancers, animations, live and recorded poetry, personal elegies, remembrances including an auto-eulogy, zombies, Allen Ginsberg, John Denver, Black Sabbath, Charles Manson, Wheel of Fortune, Jelly Roll Morton, Max Fleischer, Donald O’Finn, Feedbuck, Akio Mokuno, Donald Miller, Emmalee Sutton, to name but a few. 99’s multimedia Danse Macabre is joyous, funny, terrifying, thoughtful and playful.

C. Tara and David Gladden (Chance, MD) present “Interference Land” - a performative live cinema experiment consisting of ethereal vocal choruses, glossolalia, glitched, live feed video, modal shifting, color bleeds, rhythmic skips, unpredictable signal flows, phase shifts, and chain effects. Life partners and longtime collaborators, the duo works across video, sound, performance, installation, sculpture, and the unclassifiable. They are founders of John Cage Memorial Park, a rogue artist residency and land art project hidden in the pine woods of Chance, Maryland.

Ex Lamp (Washington, D.C.) has been performing video either solo or as a band member since 2002 when he played with AE (with ½ of plunderphonic pioneers Stock, Hausen and Walkman). Ex Lamp’s work consists of real-time video sampling and layering of video material. Differing from “VJ”ing, these live remixes (vampling) employ the original sound and the image simultaneously - a concert/cinema hybrid. For this event, Ex Lamp (formerly Matterlink) will perform “Flash Boom” (aka Pika Don), an exploration of the violence of artificial light.

This concert will feature music by Baltimore composer Will Redman, performed by twelve of this city’s most creative improvising chamber musicians. Although Will’s music does not necessarily involve free improvisation, his hand-drawn graphic scores are well suited to musicians who think like improvisers. The composer is presenting this concert partly as a 20th birthday celebration of his 98-page graphic score Book, but also as a way to bring together a group of musical friends who have been meaningful to his life and work in Baltimore.

Will Redman is a composer, percussionist, and educator based in Baltimore, MD. He is a minimal maximalist who embraces functional mistakes in both his notated and improvised music. Much of Will’s music features hand-drawn unsystematic notation that invites the performer to solve their own questions of interpretation. His music has appeared in books on modern music, such as Notations 21 (cover image), Music After the Fall, and A Semiotic Approach to Open Notations, as well as music and poetry journals, doctoral theses, and grade school arts textbooks in Brazil and Lithuania. Will’s notation has been used for t-shirts, posters, album covers, synthesizer faceplates, tattoos, and as public art on the facade of the Conservatoire à rayonnement départemental Paris-Saclay. He plays in Microkingdom, The Compositions, and Umbilicus, and teaches music technology and composition at Towson University.

Foraging in America has strong connections to Black and Indigenous history. This talk will discuss how our ancestors made food, medicine, dyes and materials using many of the wild plants that we walk past every day. We will learn to identify, work with and honor these magical plants as well as explore the laws and systems that disconnected us in the first place.

Some of the plants we may discuss include Sassafras, Black Cherry, Pokeweed, Pawpaws, Cranesbill, Mulberries, Dandelion, Wild Garlic, Wild Lettuce, Black Walnut, Senna and more. Many of these plants have rich histories as staples in indigenous diets; some were used to supplement rations during slavery, to provide food and medicine during escape and later became staples in the black American diet.

Samples of herbal preparations will be available for participants to try, and participants will receive recipes.

Structures of Music Exploitation (S.O.M.E.)

Speaker: Norman Kelley, editor, R&B (Rhythm and Business): The Political Economy of Black Music (Akashic Books 2002); The Head Negro in Charge Syndrome (Nation Books, 2004).

Overview

Structure of Music Exploitation (aka the “structure of stealing") examines the various methods used to extract wealth from black talent and music. Drawing from Norman Kelley’s unpublished work, An Industry Beneath Their Feet: The Mismanagement and Exploitation of Black Music, he will argue how the structure of exploitation within the music recording industry made it possible for black music and black talent to be exploited with impunity. However, the presentation will also argue that African Americans, in some cases, failed to – in the best sense of the word–exploit their own folk culture as a resource as well as showing examples of blacks who took advantage of black talent’s naivete. This presentation critically assesses how the absence of an integrated economic strategy—one linking politics, culture, and commerce—led to the persistent pattern of artistic brilliance and economic marginalization. The talk invites audiences to reconsider how economic empowerment could emerge from cultural innovation.

Chinese culture understands time as cyclical and relational. The traditional Chinese calendar divides the year into 24 Solar Terms, presenting the subtle shifts in nature and having different celebrations each term.

One of these terms is Duanwu Festival on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month: a time when summer begins to intensify, marked by remembrance and cultural rituals such as dragon boat racing and eating zongzi. In this event, we will:

- Introduce Duanwu and its meaning, connecting personal stories of hometown, cultural roots, and remembrance;

- Participants DIY two gifts inspired by their hometown and cultural memory: one kept for themselves, and one exchanged with another participant (A to B, B to C, C to A);

- Share reflections on how ritual, making, and exchange create a moment of pause.

The event is free, and donations to Rhizome DC are suggested. We will provide basic art supplies (paper, pencils, colored pencils, acrylic paint & brushes), but please bring any other materials for DIY.

Devin Shaffer's new album, Patience, mirrors life's highs and lows on the search for spiritual meaning, purpose, and connection. Patience updates the hushed intimacy of songwriters like Vashti Bunyan, Sibylle Baier, and Linda Perhacs for the twenty-first century. Shaffer challenges both herself and the listener to find peace in the unknowing and comfort in the surrender.

A weekly guided dream-sharing hangout…. Welcome to the theater of your dreams—an inexhaustible source of images and stories that can provide entertainment and insight, and that requires no cable service and no subscription—just attentiveness and an open mind. Participants will share dreams, using a gentle, non-intrusive method for unlocking the metaphors that structure dreams (derived from the long-tested method of Dr. Montague Ullman). We’ll also talk about techniques for recalling and recording dreams, as needed.

Please click through for more details.

Multi-instrumentalist, composer, and improviser Fred Frith has been making noise of one kind or another for more than 50 years, starting with the rock collective Henry Cow, which he co-founded with Tim Hodgkinson in 1968.

Fred is best known as a pioneering electric guitarist and improviser, song-writer, and composer for film, dance and theater. Through bands like Art Bears, Massacre, Skeleton Crew, the Fred Frith Guitar Quartet, Cosa Brava, and now Fremakajo he has stayed close to his roots in rock and folk music while branching out in many other directions.

His compositions have been performed by ensembles ranging from Eclipse Quartet and the Bang on a Can All Stars to Concerto Köln and Galax Quartet, from the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra to the ROVA and Arte Sax Quartets, from Sleepytime Gorilla Museum and Ground Zero to the Glasgow Improvisers’ Orchestra.

Film music credits include the acclaimed documentaries Rivers and Tides, Leaning into the Wind, and Tracing Light, directed by Thomas Riedelsheimer; The Tango Lesson, Yes and The Party by Sally Potter; Middle of the Moment by Nicolas Humbert and Werner Penzel; as well as Penzel’s Zen for Nothing, Peter Mettler’s Gods, Gambling and LSD, and the award-winning (and Oscar-nominated) Last Day of Freedom, by Nomi Talisman and Dee Hibbert-Jones.

Composing for dance throughout his long career, Fred has worked with Rosalind Newman and Bebe Miller in New York, François Verret and Catherine Diverrès in France, and Amanda Miller and the Pretty Ugly Dance Company over the course of many years in Germany, as well as composing for two documentary films on the work of Anna Halprin.

Theater credits include François Chat’s Setaccio and François-Michel Pesenti’s Théâtre du Point Aveugle in Marseille, where he spent six months in 1990 working with “jeunes rockers en chômage des quartiers défavorisés” on the opera Helter Skelter.

Fred has performed works by and sometimes alongside composers John Luther Adams, Gavin Bryars, Sylvie Courvoisier, Alvin Curran, George Lewis, Annea Lockwood, René Lussier, Jose Maceda, Meredith Monk, Pauline Oliveros, Terry Riley, and Christian Wolff; improvised with Lotte Anker, Derek Bailey, Han Bennink, Peter Brötzmann, Lol Coxhill, Janet Feder, gabby fluke-mogul, Tim Hodgkinson, Joëlle Léandre, Phil Minton, Ikue Mori, Butch Morris, Bob Ostertag, Evan Parker, Zeena Parkins, Paula Sanchez, Susana Santos Silva and Camel Zekri, to name a few; collaborated with classical virtuosi Evelyn Glennie, Katia Labèque, Viktoria Mullova, and Werner Bärtschi; and—as session musician—recorded on albums by, for example, Brian Eno, The Residents, Robert Wyatt, The Swans, Violent Femmes, Material, Negativland, John Zorn, Matthew and the Unfortunates, and Half Japanese.

He is currently performing solo and with Normal (home-made instrument duo with Sudhu Tewari), Frelonia (with Lotte Anker and Núria Andorrà), Fremakajo (with Marie Abe, Kasey Knudsen and Jordan Glenn)as well as in countless combinations of his favorite co-conspirators.

The recipient of Italy’s Demetrio Stratos Prize for his life’s work in experimental music and an honorary doctorate from the University of Huddersfield in his home county of Yorkshire, Fred taught for twenty years at the legendary epicenter of American experimental music, Mills College in Oakland, California; as well as co-directing (with Alfred Zimmerlin) the improvisation master’s program at the Musik Akademie in Basel, Switzerland. He is the subject of Nicolas Humbert and Werner Penzel’s much loved Step Across the Border, cited by Cahiers du Cinéma as one of the 20th century’s hundred most influential films.

CHAO TIAN is a boundary-breaking Chinese dulcimer virtuoso, improviser, and sonic thinker whose music unfolds across tradition, experimentation, and diasporic imagination. Trained in the classical lineage of the Chinese dulcimer since the age of five, she now bends that legacy into new shapes—treating the instrument not as a symbol, but as a living, questioning voice.

How do different traditions across history and geography think about how we should live our lives? Join this community for a casual, biweekly discussion group dedicated to exploring the practical philosophies and lived wisdom of the world’s major spiritual traditions. Over the first 12 weeks, we’ll look at foundational ideas from Hinduism, Buddhism, Judaism, Taoism, Stoicism, Shinto, Yoruba, Animism, Christianity, Islam, and some modern faiths.

This is less of a learning seminar and more of a conversational space. There are no right or wrong answers, and you don’t need any background in religious studies to participate. Come as you are, ready to chat about the ideas that jump out at you, what resonates with your own perspective, and how these philosophies might map onto our lives.
