Somnambulists

Warren Ng is an experimental musician based in Brooklyn, NY and originally from San Francisco who has performed and released numerous recordings under the names Somnambulists and This Invitation, all linked by an interest in minimalism, string drone, and the hidden internal hum of the electric guitar. 



Recent activity has also included involvement in collaborative film + live score performance works presented at experimental film festivals and exhibitions in New York and San Francisco including an expanded cinema series co- presented by the Microscope Gallery & The Whitney Museum (2016); Mono No Aware IX and X (2015 & 2016); and the SF Cinematheque’s Crossroads 2016 & 2018 (presented at the SFMOMA).

This is the West Coast tape release show for Somnambulists’ From Field to Factory.

The Skin Horse is Nathan Dalton, a multimedia artist and guitar player inspired by American primitive guitar masters and the sounds of everyday life. His first band, Nuzzle, emerged from the arty LA hardcore scene and morphed into The Dying Californian, a band that drew inspiration from old American folk traditions. He’s a regular member of the Holy Roving Archers, a big communal singing group that gathers on occasion in his home in Berkeley.
