Odeya Nini (b.1982 New York) works to reclaim the voice as an instrument that can exist between the physical self and that which is beyond our senses. Her work extends the scope and expression of the voice and body, dynamically playing with spatial acoustics and magnifying sound’s capacity to touch all it encounters in tender, heartbreaking, and ecstatic ways.

ODE is a solo interdisciplinary vocal performance at the intersection of resonance, consciousness, soma, intuition, and human experience. A sonic dance centered in deeply felt non-material, the performance pulls the audience into the poetic frequencies of love, transformation, and gratitude.

The evening concludes with a set by MMOONN – Odeya Nini (voice), Nicolas Snyder (voice + synthesizer), and Max Jaffe (drums + sensory percussion). Developed over the past year, this project has come together during late night sessions where unformed ideas evolved into structured transmissions of a lived moment. MMOONN will perform songs and lush cosmic soundscapes to amplify all that needs to rise to the surface and be released.
