Leanna Keith: Ink Aloud

• Leanna Keith, flute, voice, & looping pedal

Leanna Keith presents "Ink Aloud," a program of works which were composed based on books of a variety of genres, from sci-fi to speculative fiction to autobiographical poetry. Leanna uses their flute, voice, and looper in tandem to create transportive soundscapes which attempt to embody the heart of these literary works. 

In addition to "Ink Aloud," Leanna will also be facilitating a performance of her newest work, To Grasp – an interactive experimental performance art piece which asks the audience to quite literally grab a hold to participate in the sound creation.
