The Red Room is pleased to host HEVM, a trio comprised of three distinct voices that hail from disparate parts of New York’s experimental music landscape: MV Carbon, Eve Essex, and Hunter Hunt-Hendrix.

MV Carbon (cello, electronics, amplified objects, magnetic tape) performs as a solo artist and is a founding member of noise duo Metalux, which has released music on Load Records, Hanson Records, and Kill Rock Stars’ late, great experimental sublabel 5RC. Carbon collaborated with Conrad on multiple occasions in the past, including as part of an exhibition at the Tate Modern.

Based in Brooklyn, Eve Essex (alto sax, piccolo) is a solo artist whose work straddles the nexus between jazz, classical, and drone. In addition to her solo work, Essex plays in the experimental quartet Das Audit and the avant-garde ambient trio Hesper, which can be heard on the compilation Mono No Aware.

Hunter Hunt-Hendrix (guitar, electronics) is best known as leader of the transcendental black metal band Liturgy, which has been dogged by controversy from certain segments of the metal community since its inception. Hunt-Hendrix also releases glitchy shamanic rap-metal under the name Kel Valhaal. This past year, he presented Origin of the Alimonies, the prologue to a multi-part video opera cycle entitled OIOION, which featured a live score from a 12-piece chamber orchestra.
