medium. is a NYC-based “death ambient” and hardcore project by non-binary interdisciplinary creative partners yaz lancaster & gg200bpm. They perform longform experimental compositions and ritualized improvisations utilizing unique electroacoustic instrumentation: suspended buzz saws, handmade oxygen tank bells, violin, voice(s), synthesizers, keyboards, sample(r)s, DJ controllers, and sequencers. Their live music considers tension and release; spiritual energies; and collective experiences – situated in the extremes of harsh noise and glacially-paced ambient drones. As a DJ-ing duo, medium. performs distinctive high-energy, uptempo b2b sets that coalesce gabber/NYC hardcore with non-western percussive music.

This modular set-up and versatility allows them to present work in a variety of spaces and aesthetics ranging from DIY noise shows, night clubs, community radio, and museum galleries – they’ve performed at Nowadays, Pioneer Works, New Ear Festival (Fridman Gallery), Gaudeamus Festival, The Lot Radio, Princeton University, Trans-Pecos, Night Club 101, Operator Radio, Intercomm, and Mood Ring, among other venues. medium. has collaborated with SMASH.duo, Milkman’s Molotov, and subt.le as “large!”
