FOREVER pushing the boundaries of electronic music’s potential, Holly Herndon will never settle on simply performing behind a laptop, as this show proves.
Joined onstage by a vocal ensemble and collaborator Mathew Dryhurst, Herndon gives a full run-through of her acclaimed third album PROTO, a stunning achievement that explores the relationship between humans and technology.
