On Wednesday, January 22nd at 7:30pm, Carnacki hosts composer, collaborator, violinist, singer, improviser, educator, and instigator, Carla Kihlstedt, for a live in-studio interview ahead of her shows at The UC Theatre on January 25th (with Sleepytime Gorilla Museum) and Herbst Theatre on January 29th (for the PIVOT Festival).
Kihlstedt’s musical voice is grounded in the economy and immediacy of song form, which allows her to explore complex worlds – the ocean, dreams, imaginary creatures, the machine age, quarantine – through many different lenses.
Carla has had the pleasure of playing and/or recording with many wonderful musicians/bands, including Tom Waits, Ben Goldberg, Trevor Dunn, Ches Smith, Anna Webber, Mary Halvorsen, Zeena Parkins, Tony Maimone, Tracy Chapman, Madeleine Peyroux, Mr. Bungle and Brooklyn Rider. She has also created soundtracks for choreographers Jo Krieter/Flyaway Productions, Shinichi Koga/inkBoat and Joe Goode Performance Group.
