Skylighght is the duo project of vocalist Gelsey Bell and saxophonist Erin Rogers, both active figures of the New York City experimental music community who have worked together for 15+ years as part of the new music collective, thingNY. Composed collaboratively in 2019, Skylighght cultivates a minimalist music constructed upon the organic acoustic vibrations of interlaced resonances and a mutual performer sensitivity. An exploration of resonant properties, Skylighght has been performed in a variety of spaces from a farm silo to a cemetery catacombs, under a historic bridge in Central Park and inside various concert halls. In 2024, Chaiken Records released a record of the project, recognized for its “richness in concept and sound” (I Care If You Listen).

With a core ensemble featuring interdisciplinary artist Rae Diamond, performative projectionist and sound artist Keith Evans, and musician composer Suki O'Kane, and co-founder Edward Schocker, Thingamajigs Performance Group is reuniting with co-founder Dylan Bolles and guest artist Wayne Grim to present in their traditions of durational performance, alternate tuning, group and open compositional formats, interdisciplinary and inter-cultural collaboration, and site work. Their fields of institutional study, performance practice, and instrumentation are directly informed by Japanese noh and gagaku, Korean pansori, sijo,and sinawi, formal training in both Western and Eastern art practices, and a commitment to experimental art.
