1:1 Square 9:16 Portrait
Sounds: Inquilab • XEXYZ • Lorna Dune • Johnny Yamaha
Sights: Lonesome Bill Walker & Sevan Mercy
Memories: Margaret Muza
Alert! Alert! Mystical Creatures on the loose! They’ve escaped the spiritual noose of the Mystical Creature Zoo. Rumor has it they’ve holed up in a dark room to sweat together and remember their power, to be reminded by the thrum of the drum. There where the Unicorn dance and the Kraken frolic and Big Foot two step and the Fairies and Gnomes and Trolls twirl, that’s where the forces that don’t take shape – those more musical elements – hold us all in warm embrace.
Transport teams up with In The Clouds residents Lonesome Bill Walker and Sevan Mercy for a venue transformation that’s sure to bring your weirdest dreams to centerstage, and Margaret Muza joins to shoot tin type photos of Mystical Creatures in their natural habitat. Let’s go there.
Lineup:
7-8: Johnny Yamaha kicks us off with eerie grooves sure bring a tingle to your skin. We sense unseen presences without recognizing them, and that’s spooky for sure, but you can trust this
Language Model.
8-9: Lorna Dune expands our heart capacities with a live transmission of sentient vibrations. These vibrations all have their own preferences, opinions, tastes… but they agree on at least one thing – you can trust this Language Model.
9-1030: XEXYZ harnesses the precise alchemy of suspension and release required to coax Mystical Creatures to the dance floor. Come on out, here kitty kitty – you can trust this Language Model.
1030-Close: Inquilab seduces us into a shared hypnotic pleasure dream where rhythm is the only reliable sign of life, and stillness is just the space between. We skip across the emptiness on skittering hihats and splash in the warm pads, edges blurred by the reverb. Nothing is definite, but you can trust this Language Model.

In the Clouds Artist-in-Residence Cohort 2025

Sevan Mercy (all pronouns) and Lonesome Bill Walker (he/him) are a gender-bending, queer collaborative duo rooted in Milwaukee, WI.  Sevan-in the shapeshifting roles of artist, parent, social worker, and spirit-tender-is a nonbinary, neurodivergent, SWANA wizard force of too-muchness. Through music and ritual, they blur meaning with meaninglessness in pursuit of collective liberation. Lonesome Bill is a transsexual mark maker and disabled devil using wood, paint, cloth, and ink to create narrative work in the forms of sculptures, costumes, and performance. Together, Sevan and Lonesome Bill draw deeply from mythology and absurdism to transform community gatherings and queer embodiment into ungovernable spaces.
