SUMMARY:Performance:Yasmin Williams
DESCRIPTION:Yasmin will be joined by very special guests\, dancer Nic Gareiss and pianist Lucy Yao.\n\n“one of the most inventive guitar players of the last decade\, an artist devoted to deploying seemingly every technique imaginable to coax new sounds and ideas out of her instrument” –Pitchfork\n\nYasmin Williams is an innovative guitarist and composer known for her unique compositional approach and expansive instrumental style. Her latest album Acadia\, released on Nonesuch Records\, showcases her evolution from solo performer to collaborative artist\, featuring partnerships with notable musicians like Aoife O'Donovan and Immanuel Wilkins.\n\nWilliams' distinctive creative process involves \"ruminating\" on single notes until compositions naturally emerge. Beyond traditional fingerpicked guitar\, she demonstrates mastery of multiple instruments including kora\, harp guitar\, banjo\, and electric guitar. Her music\, while rooted in folk traditions\, transcends conventional structures to incorporate elements of progressive rock and experimental composition.\n\nFollowing her acclaimed 2021 album Urban Driftwood\, Acadia represents a significant artistic expansion\, featuring three distinct sections that move from traditional folk influences to atmospheric soundscapes and experimental arrangements. Williams' approach emphasizes sustained tones and intricate articulation\, creating music that balances technical precision with ethereal\, floating melodies.
