We are happy to announce our Thursday night show this week: The Sound Experiment + Yupanki 🎶

The Sound Experiment is a new music project launched by Bucks County’s Jesse Ketchel (Ketchel & Creeksnake, Oak Ash & Thorn) which also features multi-instrumentalist singer/songwriter Greg McGarvey and percussionist Steve Guarino. The Sound Experiment is a celebration of the spirit of improvisation; an opportunity to allow the music to carve its own path.

Yupanki is the conceptual music project of musician, artist, and writer Gregg Yupanki Bautista. Conjuring loop-based guitar arrangements by stacking layers of sound through a range of effects, Yupanki weaves through worlds of unspoken narratives. Often described as cinematic, the music follows the story of the titular character Yupanki - a time migrant with no memory of his past. It explores themes of self discovery and inner strength, connections to nature, as well as what it means to belong.

Drawing upon musical influences ranging from post-rock, ambient, Latin, experimental, and even his traditional Andean roots, fuzzy riffs are layered against droning textures, with percussion and contrasting dynamic guitar lines pitted against them in order to build the sonic space for Yupanki’s story to unfold.
