Side Yard Sounds: Laurenzi /Bitney/Van Duerm

Friday, May 22, 2026
7:00 PM to 9:00 PM
$15 – Tickets in bio

Saxophonist and multi-instrumentalist Dustin Laurenzi ( @dustin.laurenzi )crafts a distinctly personal approach to improvisation and composition, drawing on the roots of jazz, folk, and creative music. Renowned for his work with groups like Twin Talk and Natural Language—and collaborations with internationally respected artists like Bill Callahan—Laurenzi’s emotive style and adventurous sensibility have made him a key voice in Chicago’s thriving music community.

Dan Bitney ( @danbitney.music )is best known for his work with the influential band Tortoise, as well as Isotope 217 and Spectralina. Bitney’s sonic explorations span avant-garde electronic, rock, and improvisational realms, continually pushing boundaries and inspiring new directions in contemporary music.

Daniel Van Duerm ( @vondrum ) anchors the group with deeply textured keyboards and electronics. His unique voice draws from experimental, jazz, and multi-genre ensembles. Best known for his work with KVL, which features another original member of Isotope 217.

Together, Laurenzi, Bitney, and Van Duerm synthesize their wide-ranging influences and improvisational mastery, creating music that is adventurous, boundary-pushing, and unmistakably rooted in Chicago’s innovative spirit. Their trio serves as a powerful platform for exploration, spontaneity, and genuine creative synergy.

Happy May from CY!

We’re thrilled to announce Spectral Psalm, a solo exhibition of a new installation by Lindsey Dorr-Niro (@l_r_d_n ), on view May 23 through June 20, 2026, with an opening reception on May 23.

Followed by two activations:
June 6, 7–9 PM
Zander Raymond (@zanderraymond ), Erik Kramer (@wind_howling_through_trees.mp3 )

June 13, 4–7 PM
Lindsey Dorr-Niro & Marty McConnell (@martyoutloud )

Spectral Psalm is an act of world building and re-building. It is a second act — an amplification, condensation, and reconfiguration of a previous constellation. What began as documentation ofthat work turned into a film within which a technical glitch yielded hundreds of abstractions that, alongside a series of inquiries into the nature and function of order became the motivation, the source, for this re-iteration.

Failure of control as generative. Emergent. Emergence.

The result is a stream-like structure of experiential inquiry and exposition in the form of a film which acts as the source point and guide for the installation, a text (as narration in film and printed object), a musical score (Zander Raymond), a poster (Sonnenzimmer), and an entangled environment encompassing Compound Yellow as a site of activation, event, and communion. As a kind of stage, it hosts related embodied inquiry through guided contemplation, poetry, text, conversation, and musical performance.

Lindsey Dorr-Niro (BFA University of Wisconsin-Madison, and MFA Yale School of Art) is an artistand educator based in Chicago. Working primarily through large-scale installations, her practiceconstructs contemplative environments that invite relational and elemental awareness. Her workemphasizes the space between forms—foregrounding interdependence, emergence, andtransformation—and encourages viewers to engage in processes of reimagining both world and self.

7:00 PM 9:00 PM
$15 — tickets in bio

ABEEKU @abekuabeku is the latest facet of the vast artistic expression of composer and performer David Boykin. Its a combination of electro soul, golden era hip hop production, and spiritual jazz into a sensuous blend of Afro-electronic bliss; utilizing vocals, synthesizers, digital samplers, electronic drums, key boards, and bass.

inga @ingxbire is a multidisciplinary artist, curator, & birthworker born & raised in southwest Michigan, with roots in Rwanda, now based in Chicago. Her work lives at the intersection of vulnerability, memory, & spirituality—a space she calls “where art meets ritual.” Through music, visual storytelling, & community-centered practice, she creates immersive experiences rooted in introspection & care.

A student of The Soulquarians, inga blends hip hop, soul, & ancestral influence into a sound that feels both intimate & expansive. Self described as the Boom Baptist, she channels emotion, rhythm, & lineage into music that explores love, longing, identity, & divine alignment—each song unfolding like a confession, a prayer, or a portal.

Guided by intuition & grounded in honesty, inga’s work moves across sound, curation, & birthwork holding space for transformation, connection, & remembrance.
