In late June 2020, Leyya Tawil (Oakland, CA) and John King (NYC) began weekly recording sessions, which continued and are still ongoing. Each of their solo work was expanded and explored further through this collaborative performative practice. Individualities and commonalities blend into and through the sonic waves, emerging and subsiding, creating a new hybrid composite of place and material.

This playlist is a selection of mixed tracks from their ongoing collaborations.  See (youtube link) for the full video archive.

"Deeper. Look deeper. Do you believe you are the chosen one? You will find a way. You have become strong and powerful. Do you believe? I can tell you what I believe. I believe you will bring balance. That you will face your demons and save the universe."
