eXHIBIT AYe is a monthly sonic gallery hosted by Def Sound and curated by a guest. eXHIBIT AYe is a way of seeing without seeing each other. It’s a gathering of innerviews w/ artists and the music that made them. We explore via musical narration and conversation through sharing stories and songs. Every episode is an exhibition in vulnerability and learning to play time and space as an instrument.
