Photay Live*
Mexican Summer (USA)
Photay is the alias of NY-based composer, drummer, DJ, producer and musical polymath Evan Shornstein. As Photay, he has recorded a quartet of albums that organically bring together intricate chamber-pop arrangements, post-techno electronic textures, and a love of polyrhythms. Photay’s music is built on positive intentions. Truly.
His journey as Photay began after a formative trip to Guinea, West Africa, where he studied traditional drumming. This experience deeply influenced his musical direction, leading to the creation of his debut EP, Photay, released in 2014 on Astro Nautico. The EP showcased his ability to merge polyrhythmic percussion with electronic textures, setting the stage for his subsequent works.
Collaboration plays a significant role in Photay's work. In 2022, he partnered with Carlos Niño on An Offering, a project that emphasized improvisation and featured contributions from various instrumentalists, including harp, saxophones, and trombone.
All events are limited to 50 tickets / seats only.
