Side Yard Sounds

Side Yard Sounds is a series at Compound Yellow that features a bevy of creative musical artists who traverse diverse forms: from the intriguing waters of experimentalism and the avant-garde to forward-reaching jazz and other modes that are expanding our vision of music both in and outside of Chicago. These performances take place in the side yard of our compound from April-October each year.

Featuring:

Flux Bikes

Flux Bikes is long-distance music created by multi-instrumentalist Rob Frye in 2010. He not only uses his bike wheel as the main percussion instrument, but also the mode of transportation. Whether performing locally or on one of dozens of tours, the story of the journey is heard in the sound of the tires.

Desert Liminal (solo)

For Chicago-based musician Sarah Jane Quillin, Desert Liminal is a vehicle for experimental songwriting that seeks to marry elements of narrative poetry, melodic dream pop, shoegaze textures, and noise. A first listen of Glass Fate, Desert Liminal's first release on Whited Sepulchre Records, reveals an astute ear for creating warm, engaging art-pop that entwines Quillin’s eliding delivery around smart hooks and introspective, bordering on melancholy, melodies.

We are so excited to be featuring these talented individuals.
