Sonic Liberation Devices: Amplifying the Common Winds of Revolution at Silence Please, New York

Sonic Liberation Devices: Amplifying the Common Winds of Revolution on March 15, 2026 at Silence Please, New York features DJ Lita performing DJ sets.

On March 15, 2026, Silence Please in New York City will host an engaging evening featuring DJ Lita of Sonic Liberation Devices and Ryan C. Clarke of Dweller Electronics. Both artists explore the intersection of sound and social activism through their unique approaches to electronic music. Their collaboration focuses on the concept of sound as a form of encryption, creating a dialogue that resonates with themes of liberation and improvisation. Ryan C. Clarke, hailing from the southeastern banks of the Mississippi, is a tonal geologist deeply embedded in the contemporary art scene. As an editor at Dweller Electronics, he champions Black electronic musicians and has had his work showcased by prestigious institutions such as MoMA PS1 and Harvard's Hiphop Archive. His artistic vision aligns with the ethos of “engineering the sound of a rumor,” as articulated by Mad Mike Banks of Underground Resistance. DJ Lita Vinueza, an Ecuadorian-American artist and creative technologist, merges sound, code, and design to forge instruments that advocate for social and political justice. Through her Sonic Liberation Devices series, she cultivates a decentralized sonic framework that emphasizes open-source education and community knowledge. Together, Lita and Ryan's performance promises to challenge conventional boundaries of electronic music, inviting the audience to reflect on the power of sound in the quest for social change.
