EMKVLYT will present a structured improvisation for the summoning of the Goddess of the Electromagnetic Spectrum. Like a mandala the piece begins in chaos representing the unordered world of chaotic thoughts, following that symmetry is slowly introduced as they travel through the stages of structured feedback eventually taking us to the Goddess of the Electromagnetic Spectrum in the center of the mandala.

EMKVLT is a band led by three women who use the physical properties of the electromagnetic spectrum to create installations, performances and recordings. Using electronic feedback, audio speakers, various kinds of microphones/pickups, and resonant objects of all shapes and kinds, they summon the feminine spirit of electromagnetism, aka the Goddess of the Electronic Medium.
