Wizard Apprentice and Julius Smack embark on The Shadow Self Tour this fall, performing new material about their “shadow self”—the dark side of our consciousness and personality traits that are hard to look at.

Wizard Apprentice is an independent electronic music producer, motion graphics and live performance artist. As a highly-sensitive introvert, her multimedia projects are strategies for energetically managing an overwhelming world. Her music is a combination of lyrical precision, minimalistic composition, and technically amateurish charm. She creates digitally-based media that takes advantage of accessible, user-friendly technology; allowing her to skip time consuming learning curves and get straight to focusing on inventing personalized yet highly relatable language for deeply subtle and internal experiences.

Julius Smack is the stage persona of Peter Hernandez, an American musician and performer whose work philosophizes technology and modernity. In addition to music production and keyboard performance, he composes scores for woodwind and vocal ensembles, which is performed as Julius Smack Ensemble. Inspired by postmodern dance and vogue ballroom, his performances incorporate dance segments that cultivate an atmospheric gravity, activating a psychic and physical potential for audiences.

La Neve is the solo moniker for Joey La Neve DeFrancesco, a guitarist and vocalist in the Providence-based punk band Downtown Boys. We’re thrilled to see them perform for the first time, as recent Providence residents <3
