Synthesizers will rule this installment of Sundays With Nona! Experience atmospheric synths from Enhancement (Ben Babbitt, LA) and synth-heavy covers of such artists as Julee Cruise and Enya by Nona Invie. A DJ set by Dungeon Synth Sunday Crew will follow.
Ben Babbitt is a Los Angeles–based musician, producer, and composer who makes experimental ambient music using synthesizers and live instruments. He is known for creating the score for the acclaimed video game Kentucky Route Zero and the soundtrack for the film Paris Window. His site-specific performance Overflows for four vocalists and quadraphonic electronics was presented at the Getty Museum in 2019. His music dwells in a hypnagogic contemporary noir lullaby, full of lingering dread and low lights. Electronics, strings, and percussion swoon and seethe in mirages of dreams, delirium, romance, and menace. It’s the stuff of warped romanticism and equally warped contemplation
Dungeon Synth Sunday Crew is a collective of avid music lovers who host a monthly dungeon synth music night at Little Tijuana. The collective also hosts and DJs at dungeon synth shows around the Twin Cities. Their ethereal, dark synth tunes will have you feeling like you’re tending to a gnome garden, battling the dragon lord, and sharing steins of ale at the local tavern.
Nona Invie is a singer/composer based in Minneapolis who has worked with a range of musical projects, including folk/Americana band Dark Dark Dark, electronic trio RONiiA, and the choral ensemble Anonymous Choir. Their solo work layers acoustic piano with synth instruments, creating an ethereal landscape to get lost in.
This show is presented by Minnesota Public Radio's The Current.
