New York based composer Cassie Wieland first unveiled her ambient songwriting project she calls Vines in 2023. Now she’s released a full LP under the name Vines – that record, called I’ll be here, is full of atmospheric, textural washes of sound and processed vocals that suggest a story rather than actually telling you one. The live version of Vines includes an unusually-constructed ensemble: Wieland on keyboards, synths, vocoder, and vocals, Adam Holmes on a Sensory Percussion Kit, and Adrianne Munden-Dixon on violin. Vines plays some of these inviting, cinematic song-scapes, in-studio.

Set list: 1. Evicted 2. Tired 3. I am my home
