Postcommodity artists Kade Twist and Cristóbal Martinez will perform selections from their Fall 2024 LP From Here to Another Time, using a prototype of their purpose-built sound-engine developed for a forthcoming project called Cosmovisión. Postcommodity performs a set of unusual duets using earcons associated with sounds that reflect the places they are from (like a Kit Fox and Sonic Boom, Lowrider and Foundry, or Tule Elk and Thunder). With their sound engine the artists use granular synthesis techniques to tell a set of short stories that underscore their experiences growing up in Bakersfield, California and Alcalde, New Mexico. The songs reveal a curious, peculiar, urgent, and personal exploration of land, culture and community.

Postcommodity is an interdisciplinary art collective comprised of Cristóbal Martínez (Genizaro, Manito, Xicano), and Kade L. Twist (Cherokee). Postcommodity’s art functions as a shared Indigenous lens and voice to engage the assaultive manifestations of the global market and its supporting institutions, public perceptions, beliefs, and individual actions that comprise the ever-expanding, multinational, multiracial and multi-ethnic colonizing force that is defining the 21st Century through ever increasing velocities and complex forms of violence.
