About this Event

Peretsky is the vocal and multi-instrumental performance project of composer, educator, and writer Max Alper, known to many online for his commentary on the state of music education and the industry at large as La Meme Young. Combining influences including minimalist piano, drone, and outsider Americana through a contemporary and intimate production lens, Peretsky bridges the gaps of warmth and abrasion, singularity through sound mass, and spontaneity within structure. Desert Liminal ‘s primary songwriter Sarah Jane Quillin’s solo performance centers dream-like poetry and looping vocal melody within a lush cloud of analog synth textures, alchemizing bleak memories into something beautiful and distant. KEXP called Desert Liminal‘s 2024 album Black Ocean a collection of “sweeping art-rock, cinematic shoegaze, and poetic dream-pop featuring a lush, enveloping sound.” Facing DJ Casual Shrine
