HOLOGRAMS (2025)

As a practice Elizabeth does not like to assign specific meaning to works that would lead the listeners ear, but rather express overarching themes that were central to the artistic process. In HOLOGRAM, Elizabeth was influenced by metaphysical studies and CIA documents outlining the HemiSync Gateway Process… an original quote she shares with performers in the score to consider as they interpret the works is – “consider that when you touch anything, your atoms merge with that object… we are holograms.”

released August 10, 2025

Performance: Kyle Hutchins (Bass Saxophone)
Composition: The Honourable Elizabeth A. Baker
Recording: Artem Bank
Mixing: The Honourable Elizabeth A. Baker

pesher (2025)

EP, compositions by Kyle Hutchins

​Pesher hums with the static of misread revelations—scripture being digested by a lava lamp.
The instructions were unclear. We translated the painting backwards and summoned an electrical storm.
The pigment spoke, and the saxophone wept blood onto the USB port.
It was dragged from color, cracked open, and left to glitch in the dark.
(We do not recommend listening with the lights on.)

NOTHING (2025)

​This is NOTHING—an album scraped together from bootleg recordings at Roanoke’s most beloved noise nest, Art Rat Studios. Equal parts beautiful disaster and holy mess, these tracks were captured in the wild: no soundchecks, no refunds, no apologies.

Art Rat is more than a venue—it’s a myth held together by duct tape, donated beer, and the unwavering belief that art should occasionally scare the neighbors.

We’re listing this album for $0 because money is fake, but every cent you choose to donate goes straight to keeping Art Rat alive and squealing. Support the chaos. Feed the Rat. Worship NOTHING.

Recorded live over the years by the Head Rat Bastard, Ralph Eaton.

Havona (2023)

On the outskirts of this vast central universe, far out beyond the seventh belt of Havona worlds, there swirl an unbelievable number of enormous dark gravity bodies. These multitudinous dark masses are quite unlike other space bodies in many particulars; even in form they are very different. These dark gravity bodies neither reflect nor absorb light; they are nonreactive to physical-energy light, and they so completely encircle and enshroud Havona as to hide it from the view of even near-by inhabited universes of time and space.

14:1.14 (153.5) - The Urantia Book

"Havona" is an experimental music album inspired by the Urantia Book, an esoteric text that delves into the mysteries of the universe and our place within it. Through a blend of ambient soundscapes, haunting melodies, and intricate rhythms, this album takes listeners on a journey through the celestial realms of the Havona worlds. Drawing on the book's descriptions of the divine architecture and harmonious energy of these otherworldly spheres, "Havona" invites you to immerse yourself in its bold, imaginative sonic universe.

the golden ass, a chamber opera in one act (2021)

The golden ass (2017-2020) is a modern setting of the Cupid/Psyche myth that focuses primarily on the relationship between Psyche and her jealous mother-in-law, Venus, and both their relationships to society. Psyche is a dissociating young girl (in no stars), a reluctant new bride (in shuangxi or “double happiness”), and both the daughter of one man and the wife of another who no longer value their partners as their partners begin to age (grow old). Venus encapsulates her own concerns about aging and the fear of being supplanted by a younger, more “viable” woman in mais mes mains (or “but my hands”). Society watches Psyche’s life unfold—at times silently failing to speak on her behalf, while at other times, amplifying the malignant voices that surround her.

Cloud City Collage (2021)

Cloud City Collage is a visual album of experimental mediamaking using virtual rehearsal processes spanning Europe and the Americas, a choreographic phantasmagoria of images, bodies, sounds, and animals. Set to the improvised saxophone and electronic sound worlds of Kyle Hutchins and Eric Lyon, it merges the poetics of dance, animation, and music into bizarre and chimeric dreamscapes. The visual elements use movement, projected dimensionality, video, and image processing to interpret many layers of frontier spaces - the body as a border and a choreography of skin that divides human beings from one another; the barriers and portals of language and written text as doorways to imagination; the borders between human beings and our environment amidst other species that surround us, from tiny fungi to leaves and branches of rhizomal organisms that spread their roots beyond their initial growth to migratory birds that pass over walls and lines of human maps. Collaged microphotography and imagery taken from the environments of North America, Mexico, and France offer a choreographic journey through the many cultural and biological borders that bind us together.

Be sure to check out the visuals on Vimeo/YouTube. Links to individual videos are in the individual track credits. Link to full video album here.

is it raining while you listen (2014)

By Karen Power. "is it raining while you listen is a series of frozen sonic moments. It's my first CD and the compositions date from 2007 right up to a field-recording based work written specially for the CD; forever ricefields. Some of them are electronic recordings and some involve exceptional performers from all over the world I've been lucky enough to collaborate with. I've also worked with artists from many other disciplines and to represent their voices in my work I've asked several of them to provide text, poetry, photographs and even the design of the CD cover right down to the texture of the paper. is it raining while you listen is a labour of love and could not have happened without the enthusiasm and dedication of Farpoint Recordings."
