Gardener, Duet for Theremin, Lap Steel

From the venue:

Here are some of the mental images that arise when listening to Gardener, the moniker of Richmond, Virginia-based Dash Lewis: Waking up from a fever dream, disoriented and yet possessed with an earthly calm; putting an ear to a seashell and hearing the most majestic (and vaguely extraterrestrial) frequencies; discovering transcendence in an evangelical AM broadcast. Using just vocal loops, a modular synth, and some pedals, Lewis’ music evokes tranquility in purgatory, a state of calm even in dissonance. For a moment, all anxiety disappears, as the horizon — somehow more fluorescent than usual — blurs with the heavens.
