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.

A dynamic saxophonist, composer, improviser, and mixed media sound conceptualist, Roberts’ artistic practice aims to expose the mystical roots and the intuitive spirit-raising traditions of American creative expression. Their innovative work has forged new conceptual approaches to considering narrativity, history, and political expression within improvisatory structures.

Beyond the experimental combination of sound, image, prose, song, film, objects, musical improvisation and western notation, their works illuminate history and sociopolitical topoi – multiple narratives, historical consciousness and political emphases encounter both preset and improvised structures. The expressivity of their work continues to be the basis for their numerous immersive concerts and performances regardless of project.
