Performances by…
Earth Women
Performing ancient European, polyphonic, earth worshipping songs, Earth Women sing to reclaim their raw and authentic voices. Their songs travel from distant lands, reminding us of how our voices feel and sound when they remain feral, not blending, and in tune with the elements.

Directed by Ayla Realta, Earth Women consists of American singers who are making the effort to connect to nature through this ancient music. This group is modeled after Polish singing group Laboratorium Piesni, who reclaim their wildness, and sing songs that are in reverence to our shared planet. Performance videos are available on YouTube, or follow @earthwomenpdx on IG for more songs and videos.
Sung in Belarusian, Finnish, and Lemko, Earth Women will share ancient earth messages, through their feral feminine expression. Themes include mountain reverence, slavic fertility goddess Kupala, and wild gossip as a form of protection and self expression.

Hyphae
Hyphae is trio of mycologist singers including Koby McConnell, Anna Wilson, and Ayla Realta. They come together through the symbiosis of human and fungi communication using polyphonic vocals and etherial themes to create meditative mushroom music.
They sing as the High Fae, of the hyphae- this most fundamental aspect of fungi. Hyphae are the single cell strands that come together to make up mycelium in fungi. Each member of hyphae maintains their personal physical relationship with fungi, through cultivation and medicine making, which informs their hyphal music.
Hartwood
This Imbolc marks the inaugural performance of Hartwood, a singing group conceived as a masculine compliment to Earth Women. Hartwood weaves songs in Gaelic and Old Norse into visceral soundscapes. Often delving into harsh and guttural tones, the group is a place to commune with old, impolite, animal parts of our corporeal selves, without the undertones of violence and domination that so often pervade male spaces.
Helmed by Koby McConnell and co-directed by Ayla Realta, Hartwood was created as a space to share and celebrate the unique qualities of the male voice in ways rarely welcomed in public. There are many things that we hold hidden within ourselves, and the catharsis of the voice unleashed is the right of all. Through soaring highs, the grounding rumble of kargyraa and the raging bellow of screams and death-growls, Hartwood seeks to gather all aspects of the voice in synthesis.
