[while the primary focus for this blog is on events, I’m also giving myself room to write about various other noise and music projects.] Pathogens is a project by A. D. Carter and has a single release from Scry Recordings. The project does not appear active at the moment. Excruciating brutal harsh noise wall. I last saw Pathogens at the release show for Soiled Cogs Forever Grinding on March 12, 2020 at the last show at The Highline before the pandemic shut everything down.
… Pathogens uses manipulated samples, distorted synth, found objects and contact mic recordings, electric drums and percussion, electric guitar, voice and throat to create excruciating and raw death industrial compositions.
So many good shows happening this week, there’s no way to really decide, is there?

Crystal Beth (Beth Fleenor) will return to the chapel in her first show in three years.
In this solo incarnation, she uses amplified clarinet, wailing vocals, and electronics to weave a sonic universe all her own. Known for crafting aural rituals that encompass industrial chants in her own invented language, alien disco breaks, heart gushings, and robot love songs, Crystal Beth redefines the possibilities of the voice and clarinet in tight experimental pop songs and undulating, cathartic noise cries.
Also performing will be solo percussionist Christopher Icasiano and Ahamefule J. Oluo (multi-instrumentalist)
