What does the body produce when it makes sound? How can the voice be transformed towards new grounds, and what in turn happens to the body in relation to these transformations?
Music at DOG: La Digestion
06.05.26
Join us on Friday June 5th for Music at DOG: La Digestion, an evening of live and recorded music performances centered around the modulation of voice. What does the body produce when it makes sound? How can the voice be transformed towards new grounds, and what in turn happens to the body in relation to these transformations?
La Digestion moves through three distinct registers. Connor Tomaka opens the evening with a set constructed around a modulated voice, stretched and layered until it approaches a stringed state of being. Laszlo Horvath follows with a live performance of compositions that move between pop legibility and their dissolution. Satya Paul closes as dj paul (from the bible), utilizing a sampling practice to draw from relations in regional rap across multiple decades and extended geographies to speak on centuries of migrations past, building an oblique sonic architecture out of displacement, relocation, and the music that survives both.
These sets are focused on the body’s organs related to systems of vocal production in order to arrive elsewhere in a sequence of constructed, connected dislocations.
Music at DOG is an ongoing series of collaborations with Landscape and guest curators presenting electronic and computer music performed on a unique, immersive sound system selected for each show.

ABOUT THE ARTISTS
LASZLO HORVATH
Laszlo Horvath is a composer and artist based in New York. His compositional practice moves between language and text, musical signification, non-linguistic sound objects, and visual assemblage. His work spans collaborations, solo projects, and group exhibitions, including the 2025 Performa Biennale and the 15th Baltic Triennial.
SATYA PAUL (dj paul (from the bible))
Satya Paul is an artist based in New York. He maintains a writing-based practice that takes form through the production of text, image, and sound. As dj paul (from the bible), he constructs sets where quotation and sonic collage function as base material, working towards cartographies that vary in legibility. Recent exhibitions and performances include Niko (Los Angeles), Les Urbaines (Lausanne, CH), and Earth (New York).
CONNOR TOMAKA
Connor Tomaka is an artist and researcher based in San Francisco. He works primarily with software instrumentation exploring physical modelling, fidelity, and repetition through electroacoustic composition, performance, and installation. He has recently presented work at venues including Critical Media Lab – HGK (Basel), Stooj (Berlin), Cafe OTO (London), Emily Harvey Foundation (NYC), and Pech (Vienna).
