Raven’s experimental practice cuts across visual arts, performance, and music to fundamentally reorient our understanding of what music can be.

Video description: Raven Chacon, a man with long, grey, curly hair, sits on a green sofa in a room with a piano and drum kit wearing a grey button up shirt. He later performs a piece for an audience. We also see film of performers outdoors playing guitars, a cello, woodwinds, percussive instruments, and other objects to create noise and music while wearing outfits that include elements of nature, metals, and mirrors.
