∆ Battalion of Cloudships & Janna Lee (battalionofcloudships.bandcamp.com/music / summerinterluderecords.bandcamp.com/album/shipwrecked-in-purgatory)
Battalion of Cloudships is a multidisciplinary performance art ensemble of one and many utilizing aspects of theater, comedy, free improvisation, noise, drone, sound and space design to take the audience on journeys both inward and outwards, . Each performance is uniquely curated as a piece of a larger whole, a page of script from an ongoing and expanding lore.
Janna Lee is a Chicago artist who uses her voice to explore various facets of herself, and blurs the line between angel and demon. She is the vocalist of Snek Trio (with Reid Karris and Erik Sowa) and Obsequies (with Corey Lyons). As a solo artist, she combines harsh noise and spoken word into a weapon that embraces feminine vengeance and the darker side of humanity. Her versatility has garnered a diverse range of collaborations, including Bob Genghis Khan, Galaxxu, Unmanned Ship, Ben Zucker, Fistfuck, and Scarlet Diva.
∆ Rin Peisert & Ben Zucker (youtube.com/@rinpeisert6630)
Erin Peisert’s interdisciplinary practice examines the impact of time and place upon the experiencing body to consider conscious awareness and the mystery of Being. She explores these concepts through research, performance, movement, video and sound. Her practice is influenced by Butoh, Actionism, and junkyard scrap.
Ben Zucker engages in acts of creative juxtaposition and speculation as a composer audiovisual artist and multi-instrumentalist. Acclaimed as a “master of improvisation” (IMPOSE Magazine) and “more than a little bit remarkable” (Free Jazz Blog) they have contributed to experimental music scenes across the Western hemisphere with “stirring compositions…built on a lifetime of musical curiosity” (Chicago Reader) as well as albums multimedia situations and frequent performances on vibraphone, brass, voice, and electronics. They live in Chicago, following life and studies there and on both US coasts and London. Current activities include ongoing freelance performing, composing, production, teaching, climbing, curation, and caffeination.

∆ Melon Sprout (melonsprout4.bandcamp.com)
Melon Sprout uses ceramic instruments to extend their body physically and sonically. Material and body become a tangible space for the ephemeral. “Ceramusic” – a word for Melon’s ceramic music – encourages viewers to activate, interact with, and extend themselves physically and sonically in the form of ceramic music-making. Their ceramic instruments retain physical traces of the ceramic’s original soft clay state, and the instruments go through many transitions as functional and aesthetic art objects. Sprout’s ceramic instruments are performed, climbed, spun, recorded, edited, and altered. The ceramic instruments become a conduit of reciprocity, and offer non-linguistic communication in order to develop an animated environment where feelings and ideas are free to exchange.
