gushes is ceremonial art-prog by intermedia performance artist Jennae Santos. Santos was born and raised in the California Bay Area, they live in Brooklyn, and they trace their bloodlines across the Philippines' archipelago. These varied coastlines– urban and queer, powerful and dramatic, vibrant and reverent– compose the space from which their practice spills forth. Their work casts tactile mythos through loops, lovesong, and ceremony. Over countless modes of performance and instrumentation, gushes’ music converges the theatrics of 1970s prog, the untethered spirit of dance-punk, the embodied abstraction of experimental percussion, and Filipino kulintang with Afro-Latin rhythms. Their debut LP, Delicious Collision, made of chamber prog, decolonization anthems, and feminist psychedelia, is out now on Switch Hit Records x PTP Collective.

Elenora Morris is a performance artist and dance movement educator whose craft blends dancing, music-making, vocalization and poetry as forms of spellcasting. Her work understands the body as a living, essentially interconnected soil; where planted and watered seeds will germinate, uncoil intrinsic wisdom, emerge unpredictably into new collective worlds, and die back to nourish the next cycle of life. 

Ellie's work is informed by a rich early classical piano and dance education, a fascination with the movement of water and the act of swimming, and regular summers working on diversified organic farms around the United States. 

Elenora performed professionally for ten years with the National Ballet of Canada and the Royal Danish Ballet. She co-produces, choreographs and performs with Equinox Festival, a Copenhagen-based chamber music and dance festival based, and performs original folk music compositions under the name Nor. She hosts a regular spellcasting movement jam in Brooklyn called flow space.

Valeria Itriago & Val Domingo — 

Valeria Itriago and Val Domingo are a sonic duo based in New York, known for crafting sober psychedelic sound experiences that explore trance, emotional release, and nervous system alchemy through vibration, voice, and movement.

Together, they co-create Sound Capsules, a live immersive sound journey that merges trauma-informed somatic guidance, ancient ritual, and contemporary sound design. These journeys have been featured in spaces like Reforesters and Othership NYC, where they hold space for deep listening, energetic regulation, and altered states of awareness .

Valeria is a multidisciplinary somatic embodiment and movement coach, trained performative dancer, and experienced vocal artist. Her practice bridges sound, breathwork, and movement as a form of emotional release and integration. With a background in chakra activation, nervous system regulation, and energy work, she uses voice as a healing instrument — channeling layered vocal landscapes that move energy through the body and tap into ancestral memory.

Val Domingo (they/them) is a multi-instrumentalist, composer, and educator. As a classically trained violist and conductor, their work blends chamber traditions with improvisation, live looping, and ambient sonic textures. They are the founder of Brooklyn Chamber Players and co-curator of Conjure Arts Collective. Their solo and collaborative projects span classical, experimental, jazz, and electronic music — creating soundscapes that are both grounding and otherworldly.

Whether through live performance, sound immersion, or ritual-based offerings, Val & Val invite participants to lie down, drop in, and be transformed by sound. Their work centers on embodiment, collective healing, and the reclamation of altered states as tools for personal and communal liberation.

Sylvain Souklaye is a French Caribbean Brooklyn-based live artist, sonic maker and author. His craft and mission go beyond and deeper than the question of identity. Following the idea of the rhizome, Souklaye digs in the sensitivity and history laying in the interiority of broken bodies, environmental urgencies and political retribution.

Souklaye started his artistic journey focusing on DIY social justice, or vandalism as he called it, and defined it as the necessary destruction for justice and self-designation. Lyon, his hometown, carries the Canut revolts heritage and merges with his Neg marron origin from Martinique (freedom and rebellion movement), to obtain a perfect cocktail, a cocktail molotov.

Souklaye then began to write action poetry and interwove it with protean political and visual happenings —sometimes extreme, often borderline, his messages traveled from guts to guts across all corners of France, Switzerland and Belgium. But it is during his durational live radio show at the renowned French independent radio station RCT that he started to craft what would become his uniquely lyrical and gut-wrenching live experiences.

This inner quest took other forms with his writings — le jour du fleau which explores the duality of the night and Solus which cuts deep into grief — and his obsession with noise and its sonic linguistics. The noise from and inside the city shaped his approach to granular synthesis. Those raw words and intense sounds created the condition for his live experiences and installations.

Interiority is at the center of Souklaye's body of work; collective intimacy and epigenetic dialogues are the inner spaces where he spends time exploring and inviting the audience (in)to. Each living soul is a part of his live experiences, and there are no active or passive members of the audience, only those who want to be activated. His shows are self-centered yet collective live experiences that reveal what is left inside him and us.

Among his most notable pieces are live performances Depopulated presented at Judson Church (New York, USA), the Momentary (Arkansas, USA), UNDERMY-YOUR-OURSKIN performed at ChaShaMa Gala (New York, USA), Grace Exhibition Space (New York, USA) and the Ancien Musée de Bruxelles-Nord (Brussels, Belgium), the video performance Black Breathing screened at Kunsthalle am Hamburger Platz gallery (Berlin, Germany), Czong Institute for Contemporary Art (Gyeonggi-do, Korea), at the 9th Days of Contemporary Art (DOCA) International Festival (Moscow, Russia), and sonic installations Liquid Soul presented at Helsinki Central Library Oodi (Finland) and Soliloquy in motion shortlisted for the 26th Phonurgia Nova Awards (Prix Art Sonore & SACEM) and aired at the Bibliothèque Nationale de France (Paris, France), and elected at the Contemporary Music Festival, Ars Electronica Forum Wallis 2021 (Leuk, Switzerland).

Souklaye was recognized in the top 100 Contemporary Artists from the Aesthetica Art Prize, and his essay Living Liveness was published in Art As Social Practice: Technologies for Change by editors Xtine Burrough and Judy Walgren (Routledge, 2022). Souklaye is the producer and co-host of Conversations From the Center, a series of global conversations about the arts, transdisciplinary research, and social justice activism for the Center for Arts, Design, and Social Research (Boston, USA & Helsinki, Finland).

Souklaye is a commissioned artist for the 2022- 2024 Program of International Contemporary Ensemble & the Jerome Foundation (New York, USA), recipient of the Prospect Art grant with the installation Be Happy or Die (Los Angeles, USA), lecturer at IRCAM (Paris, France), and current fellow at Harvestworks.

ÉMU aka Maria Takeuchi, is a multi-instrumental composer and audiovisual artist based in Brooklyn, originally from a small town in Japan.
ÉMU creates sonic and visual poems, merging organismic soundscapes with generative art and illuminating objects inspired by nature.

Using piezo microphones attached to wood bark wound with guitar strings and porcelain bowls carefully tuned with water measurements, she plays and conducts the sound objects with a delicate yet intentional focus. The subtle sound textures are created solely with touches by hand, stones, leaves, and shells on the handmade instruments, processed with modular synthesizers for the added aesthetic atmosphere.

ÉMU has been involved in larger-scale projection mappings such as Ambient Church and dome projections at Bubbletecture H to pursue the experience of sound and visual art in search of coexisting and resonating with nature and technology.

as·phyx·i·a (2015), a collaborative effort and experimental film created with Frederico Phillips, performed by Shiho Tanaka, was selected as a New Directors Shortlist by Saatchi & Saatchi, showcased at Cannes Lions and MoMA.
It appeared on nearly 200 international mediums, including BBC Newsnight, Canadian Daily Planet, TIME, and Microsoft commercials.

Maria created visual programming for Petal Mori, illuminating Yuri Shimojo’s art piece with 108 Petri-dishes with Sakura petals made of torn washi paper placed on the salt mound for her exhibition Memento Mori at Praise Shadows Art Gallery in 2021.  

"Marie will be incorporating musical themes from STONE BELLY, a site-specific dance and music work involving composer treya lam and dancer-choreographer-muse Ching-I Chang, exploring the swallowing of sacredness as a way to protect our softest, most tender parts. Taking place inside the stone-filled belly of the Philippine crocodile, the work re-myths the Philippine legends surrounding the crocodile as an ancestral vessel between this world and the next, and the bodies of land/spirit swallowed in their migration to the next life. Marie will bring homemade shareable treats that will fill our own crocodile bellies.

STONE BELLY is sponsored, in part, by the Greater New York Arts Development Fund of the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs, administered by Brooklyn Arts
Council (BAC)."

Marie will provide shareable treats for the end of the jam.
