Khaela Maricich + Melissa Dyne, Big Legs, and Sexual Energies
A trio of electronic duos looks at pop music from the vantage of the art world. Khaela Maricich and Melissa Dyne take apart and reconfigure the songs they perform as The Blow using modular synths and samplers. Big Legs is the authentic English synthpop project of Mark Beasley and Dan Fox. Nick Hallett and Zach Layton create a tapestry of control-voltage synchronized pulses under their Sexual Energies moniker.

Samuels Foundation, and with public funds from New York City Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the City Council and New York State Council on the Arts with the support of Governor Andrew Cuomo and the New York State Legislature.
