about

Becky Grajeda and Beth McDonald first started collaborating in the mid-2010’s, performing several pieces with a variety of musicians, speakers, and actors. After the social and artistic isolation of 2020, they were eager to collaborate on a new project, but didn’t feel safe to resume in-person performance in front of audiences. This facilitated a rare opportunity to explore sound worlds both new and old, without the deadline of a particular performance date or artistic goal. This recording is one waypoint on this exploration, and is the result of several months of improvisation, research, and drinking seltzer.

About system|vector sessions
The system|vector sessions are a series of new collaborative arrangements of audio artists. Participating artists will enlist new collaborators to create a recording project. The recording will be the product of this fresh arrangement of artists. It will stretch, reposition, and open us as a new whole emerges.

Make a new friend. Plant a seed. Listen to something (or someone) unexpected. Become a node in an unheard network.

Proceeds from the system|vector sessions are donated to pt.fwd, a non-profit program that presents performances of contemporary music and sonic arts in Bloomington-Normal, Illinois. Follow us on Instagram and Facebook: @pt.fwd
