Many of the guests in cherry custard come into mixing via non-traditional routes (filmmaking, curation, writing, performance, poetry, and so on), so it only felt right to cast a spotlight over those who have inspired host christeeeene’s experimental artistic practice so far. Not only those that use mixes within their visual practice, but those who use words to inform their mixing. The reader, the writer, the artist, the activist, the poet and performer; they’re all here and they’re all cherries.

C. Spencer Yeh is an artist, composer, and improviser based in Queens, New York. He is included in the group exhibition “Impossible Music” curated by Candice Hopkins and Raven Chacon, currently at Tufts University Art Galleries along with his solo project “World of Music.” Forthcoming recordings include an Amerige Records reissue of Yeh’s collaboration with Jessica Rylan, Sissy Spacek “Entrance” on Shelter Press, and a collaboration with Joachim Nordwall on Dead Mind Records

“Most of these tracks are from making my way through a big box of private press/”real people” records I gripped from Music That Shapes, along with other records I was checking out at that time – gifts given and received, first-time dips into the excellent Stroom label, and tugging of the various threads that loosen while rummaging.” C S Y
