EarthtoneSkytone + Crystal Pupa
The following description comes from the event organizer.
EarthtoneSkytone, the intrepid electro-acoustic songwriting quartet led by Carlos Snaider and Kelsey Mines, curate a night of synth-laden jazz and creative music with an opening set from local pianist/singer-songwriter Crystal Pupa.
EarthtoneSkytone is a multi-dimensional electro-acoustic quartet from Seattle. Traversing jazz, experimental pop and introspective songwriting, ETST presents an extended quest to generate mysterious sound worlds where deep listening can happen. At once expansive and meditative, ritualistic and playful, their music reflects the abundance and balance of the natural world and the outer reaches of inner sound. EarthtoneSkytone began as a duo between guitarist Carlos Snaider and Kelsey Mines in late 2018, and since 2021 has expanded to a quartet featuring Antoine Martel (synths + electronics) and Chris Icasiano (drums). Their new body of music, composed over the past year, reflects a new generative direction for the project.
Crystal Pupa is a butterfly-winged pianist-singer-songwriter. She makes electronic pop music in her backyard shed studio, inspired by synthesizers and the alchemy of turning inner and outer struggles and experiences into something strangely beautiful. With her training in classical music and favorite genres of jazz, prog rock and R&B she has created a peculiar, playful and mysterious world all her own.
