1/29 After Hours: General Things Press

General Things Press is an assemblage of various people coming together to collaborate on producing works in the world. Underneath its umbrella it contains a publishing effort, a latent radio show, and a reading series. General Things Press makes as it can with vigor and excitement. All works are printed locally and bound by hand by the editor.

Grace Papineau-Couture is a Canadian interdisciplinary artist currently based in Chicago. They are interested in sound as a generative process – something unfolding, recursive and responsive, allowing for sound and listener to have a dialectical relationship. Using old and low-fidelity technology such as cassette tapes, contact microphones, and experimental instruments, Grace’s sound performances interface with themes of haunting, environmental disaster and acoustic ecology. These compositions urge the listener to ask themselves, “what do we hear in the latency? What kind of apparition reveals itself to us through the cracks of low fidelity?”

After Hours is a production of Taylor Thornburg and Quimby’s Bookstore
