SUMMARY:Performance: DREKKA + Levitation Center w/ Brandon Walley + My Name is Tristan
DESCRIPTION:On the evening of Sunday\, December 15\, we are proudly hosting Michael Anderson’s solo project DREKKA (IN)\, a collaboration between audio/video artist Benjamin (Bunjamun) Ahlteen’s (CMH) multimedia project Levitation Center and filmmaker Brandon Walley (DET)\, and multi-instrumentalist Tristan Buie-Collard’s project My Name is Tristan (CMH). Doors 7:30pm\, show begins at 8:00pm sharp. $8.00 prepaid\, $10 at the door. \nAbout the artists: \nSince 1996 Michael Anderson has evolved from experiments in early industrial tape culture to the production of fragile bedroom noise folk with expansive cinematic textures in his project Drekka. Having released dozens of cassettes\, CDs\, and LPs on his own Bluesanct label as well as numerous other labels internationally\, Anderson has traveled\, collaborated\, and relocated\, all the while collecting memories and building a very personal archive of corresponding sound. Drekka’s music is made through continually delving into this archive: digging up and repurposing old recordings\, live performances\, and forgotten snippets of out-of-touch friends’ voices. It is a project that experiments not only with sound\, but also with memory as a subject and a process. Like Tarkovsky’s The Mirror or the more abstract works of Coil and Cindytalk\, Drekka is both a sonic experiment and an assemblage of memories – at one moment dissonant and intimidating\, and the next warm\, hospitable\, and ultimately soothing. \nThe Levitation Center serves as a moniker for Benjamin (Bunjumun) Ahlteen’s ambient musical and conceptual art output. It is also an immersive performance space where levitation-inducing shows occur in a peculiar barn in Ohio. Bunjumun is a musician and multimedia artist based in Columbus\, Ohio. They have spent eighteen years participating in the local music and arts scene. Over the past five years\, they have focused on music for film and immersive experiences\, with an interest in performance accessibility and audience participation.  \nBrandon Walley is a filmmaker and curator based in Detroit\, Michigan. He creates 16mm\, Super 8mm\, and digital films that explore the abstractions between humanity\, ecology\, industry\, and technology. For over a decade his films have been screened widely in festivals\, museums\, and cinematheques including Kunsthaus Graz (Austria)\, Strangloscope (Brazil)\, Rooftop Film (NYC)\, Museum of Contemporary Art Detroit\, Iowa City Experimental Film Festival\, Ann Arbor Film Festival\, and more. Brandon has taught film production at various institutions including the College for Creative Studies\, Lawrence Technological University\, and YArts of Metro Detroit. Brandon has been Media City Film Festival’s Regional Artists’ Curator since 2008 and former Board Chair. He is the Special Programs Coordinator for Ann Arbor Film Festival and Program Director with Greater Farmington Film Festival. He was the Program Director at Corktown Cinema and Detroit Broadcasting Company and former Co-Director of the Detroit Film Centre. Brandon is an Artist Fellow with Kresge Arts in Detroit\, awarded in 2020.  \nMy Name is Tristan (MNIT) is a Texas-born\, Columbus-based singer-songwriter and performer known for a soulful blend of rock\, pop\, alternative\, and folk. MNIT’s music journey began in 2006 after a spark of inspiration from Keith Urban\, leading him to pick up a guitar and write his first song—a tribute to his sister’s bravery. As a local artist in Columbus\, MNIT has honed his craft in the city’s live music scene\, captivating audiences with introspective lyrics exploring love\, loss\, and self-discovery\, all delivered with a sharp\, emotive vocal tone. With singles like “I Do\,” “Caroline\,” and “Tradition\,” MNIT’s unique sound is both authentic and relatable\, making waves in the U.S. and beyond. Beyond music\, MNIT is an advocate for mental health awareness\, sharing the challenges artists face and inspiring others to pursue their creative passions. Driven and authentic\, MNIT is a rising talent poised to make a lasting impact on the music world. Visit on social media @MNITmusic
