Agnes Martian

Agnes Martian soundtracks an imaginary planetarium that charts undiscovered constellations of inner/outer space. Benjamin Rodgers (guitar, synths) and Zekarias Thompson (saxophone) started the project in 2019, inviting collaborators from a variety of musical backgrounds to join their sprawling warehouse jams. More recently artist/musician Phillip Laurent has joined Rodgers and Thompson for a series of performances that investigate the possibility of quadraphonic sound to shift the perspectives of both performer and audience member and direct attention to the sculptural presence of sound in spaceā€”an examination of emergence as much as of immersion.
