Memorial Day at Notsuoh:
Animatronics, Alchemy & Harmony

Monday, May 26
Upstairs at Notsuoh
Doors at 7 PM | Sounds at 7:30 PM

FREE | 21+ | Drink purchase required

This Memorial Day, step upstairs at Notsuoh for a night of immersive visual worlds, psychadelic soundscapes and communal magic — featuring 3 experimental projects from Houston.

HEKA PALACE
A film studio and multimedia outlet created by visionary entrepreneur and master songwriter Markell Gibson. Heka Palace is a gumbo of film, original music, martial arts, fashion, and art installations. “Heka Palace aims to bridge the gap between the artist and the listener.”

THE REVOLUTIONARY LOVE CHOIR
A new vocal ensemble (featuring members of Studded Left // Indian Jewelry) This project is bringing people together by the power of the human voice, an immersion in harmony, the euphoria of breath work and bonhomie. The choir continues the esoteric labor traditions of levitating the Pentagon, hexing the pigs, and removing the curses from the heads of all people trod upon by the heavy feet of the juggernaut.

SIGHT & SOUND: TALES FROM THE SPITTING TREE + PHILOSOPHY STONE
The centerpiece of the night: a rough cut screening of Tales From The Spitting Tree: Ballad of the Moon Hound by artist Jon Read (The Wiggins). A psychedelic puppet journey through depression, destiny, and monstrous encounters.
Live score by PHILOSOPHY STONE — an instrumental, improvisational post-punk/stoner rock duo made up of James Radcliff and Jon Read. Think fuzzed-out guitars, ancient drum machines, and instinct-driven sonic rituals.

FREE show – with drink purchase. 21+ only.

SIGHT
Tales From The Spitting Tree: Ballad of the Moon Hound
Born out of the animatronic works I developed to combat my loniness during the pandemic, TFTST explores themes of alienation and the unfair nature of luck in the universe. The story is acted out by a cast of puppets crafted from cheap battery powered toys, foam clay and day glow paint, filmed on a table in my studio. The story centers around a depressed wolfman who learns that an encounter with an angry gorgon during his youth stripped him of his destiny. He has no path or purpose in life as he wanders the dangerous psychedelic wilderness where he encounters an army of imps, a giant crab monster and other strange beasts as he tries to figure out if he is blessed or cursed.
This presentation will be a rough cut of the short film with a live score by Philosophy Stone.

SOUND
Philosophy Stone
an instrumental, improvisational post punk, stoner rock band from Houston TX. Made up of James Radcliff and Jon Read who met in the graduate painting program at the University of Houston and bonded over their love of guitar driven music and expensive dirt pedals. Both have their own bizzaro punk solo projects: Jon, THE WIGGINS and James, VEXED. But together they do something completely different, abandoning song structure/writing entirely, playing fuzzed out guitars over loops and an archaic drum machine, driven purely by instinct, punk rock mojo, and the belief in alchemy.

A true-blue no bullshit Troubadour.  Life on the road, singing real songs for  Real, Good People. Floyd Bauler’s songs are true stories of his dog (R.I.P. Penny), his friends (R.I.P. James T. Reese), his family, and his wild adventures ever since he left to go join the Traveling Circus.

Date: Monday, April 28th
Time: 8 PM
Location: The Dome at Notsuoh
Free admission with drink purchase

Join us for an intimate night of music inside the Dome at Notsuoh, featuring two singer-songwriters pushing the boundaries of their craft.

Arthur Yoria returns with a brand-new sound, stepping away from his lo-fi, guitar-driven roots to debut nusape, a fresh collection of songs built on the textures of an SP404 sampler. This will be the first live performance of his new material—don’t miss it.

Layton Herschel Carroll, a folk singer with many names and even more influences, brings his vivid storytelling and raw lyricism to the Dome, this time with immersive visual elements woven into his set. Often compared to Bob Dylan, Carroll’s music embodies the spirit of classic American folk while carrying a distinct Houston edge.

Come experience these two Houston songwriters in the surrounding visuals and acoustics of the Notsuoh Dome.
