SUMMARY:AARC: An Evening With Tones
DESCRIPTION:You’re invited to spend An Evening with Tones at the Asian American Resource Center on Thursday\, February 5 from 7 to 9pm! This event is a cozy and casual night of original music and poetry and will feature a reading by Phoebe Murphy\, musical performances by guest rooms and Albeit the Maze\, plus a short Q&A with the evening’s creatives. \nAn Evening with Tones will showcase Austin-based AAPI creatives in a small\, intimate environment (similar to a listening room)\, putting the spotlight on their talent and ability to share worlds through their art. Through this experience\, we hope that attendees and featured creatives can exchange dialogue\, feedback\, appreciation\, and ideas in a candid\, sincere\, and supportive way. \nArtist Bios: \nPhoebe Murphy is a Chinese-American writer of literary and speculative fiction. Born in China and raised in Houston\, Texas\, she is an MFA candidate at Texas State University. Her work has been featured in Nocturne Magazine and Chthonic Matter\, and she is currently at work on a novel. \nAs guest rooms\, Persian-Texan Mason Parva explores the possibility of paradox. Classic songcraft coexists with ambient textures and field recordings to create a sound that is at once intimate and vast\, reverent and irreverent\, familiar and otherworldly. Lyrically\, Parva explores themes of love\, creation\, myth\, truth\, and ultimate reality. Each song is a quiet portal into the self\, inviting one to look directly at their parts that contradict yet harmonize. \nAlbeit the Maze\, also known as June Nguyen\, is a transfeminine Vietnamese American singer-songwriter based in Austin\, Texas. Pulling from musical inspirations such as Radiohead\, Fleet Foxes\, St. Vincent\, and The National\, June writes acoustic-forward songs that aim to impart a sense of longing. Her debut release\, Victim of a Threat EP\, explores topics such as masculinity\, loneliness\, repression\, and abandonment through the lens of a trans woman born and raised in Texas by Catholic immigrant parents. \nThis event is free\, all ages\, and open to the public. Light snax will be provided. Registration is encouraged. RSVP | An Evening with Tones
