Frequencies is an intersection of literature, music, and media that encompasses the “workin’-it-out” space that all artists experience, a mixture of story and sound, of poem and pulse, of reading and rhythm, a gathering of increasing intensity. Instead of having a single focus, Frequencies exists as a free space driven by the energy of its participants. The experience is amorphous, and we remain committed to every event being a work in progress.

Frequencies is brought to you by innervision sound production and mixed metaphor, a creative venture launched by transplants Kara Olidge and Erin Sharkey. This collaboration brings a new kind of party to the Buffalo soundscape. From writing to beat matching, Kara has touched just about every form of art. She attributes her love of creative expression to growing up in New Orleans and being hooked on post-colonial theory. Erin hails from the conjoined cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul where she started to write poetry by painting on walls and throwing rent parties to help her friends get by. Fellow poet Chantal Panepento and others will join Erin on the mike.

Come share in the process. Join us this month at Hallwalls’ temporary downtown gallery space on a journey from ambient to rhythm-driven poetry to party.

Frequencies will take place once a month somewhere. Just make sure that you’re in tune. All are welcome. Open-mike sign-up until 9:30 P.M.
