    Christina Wheeler will present the second section of her tone-poem suite titled »The Totality of Blackness Trilogy.« Sung with an extremely slow, elongated vocal technique and accompanied by multiple instruments, effects processing, and ambisonic, binaural spatialisation, this meditative invocation offers a transformative reframing of the experience of Blackness and the attendant fear often reflexively enmeshed therein. Wheeler's performance is accompanied by visuals by Aaron Kulik, an artist who works with mediums of film and photography to experiment with microscopic processes.

    The performance is intended as a digital preview to a fully immersive, in-situ multimedia performance commissioned by and scheduled for CTM 2022.
