Kitchen Sync

April 19th, 2025


The Ming Lounge was a natural fit for an experimental night of music, continuing a near 100-year history of shows ending at 4AM—from Louis Armstrong to the seedy underground of punk, hardcore, and noise performances. 

The Instagram page for the new promotional series went up March 1st, gaining 600 followers in the 6 week lead-up to the show. Planning was a 2-month sprint of logistical execution. All aspects were a solo effort (sans A/V setup, volunteer ticketing and teardown).

I leaned into dreamlike presentation, with lighting and decoration that evoked the surreal and domestic at once. A lattice of lasers echoed the tiled backdrops found in the marketing collateral.

Group Sound

2021   -   2025


Group Sound is an artist collective founded in 2021 known in Portland’s underground scene for hosting immersive shows with a DIY, communal aesthetic.

The early brand had an approachable, down-to-earth feel to contrast with typically commercial nightlife graphics. The project initially centered on intimate private gatherings of 100 to 120 guests, often themed or costumed. We retained the grassroots feel as we grew, continuing to cultivate an ethos of inclusivity, playfulness, and free expression.

Void I-IV

2022   -   2025


Void is a multi-stage show held in late October as an invitation towards emptiness and all that might emerge from its depths. The mythos developed through event blurbs and decoration is both existentially dreadful and deeply unserious. In 2023, the Void engulfed Heaven and Hell which required two rooms with vastly different moods. In 2024, the theme spiraled into cosmic horror as the Void began its expansion into the rest of the universe.

The musical curation can range from cerebral techno with an industrial palette, to 80’s sleaze and synth punk.

In a city that increasingly attracts internationally touring DJs, Void’s all-local lineups have had strong turnouts every year.

    Bloom I-III

    2022   -   2025


    Bloom is an annual Group Sound show held in the spring, originally themed around the equinox. Canopies of repurposed invasive ivy, glowing petals, and verdant textures are installed to rouse dancers from Portland’s prolonged grey season and inspire some much needed optimism.

    The musical curation often spans balearic house, dembow, breakbeat, and nostalgic rave selections.

    In 2025, $500 of proceeds were donated to IRCO.
