Ruth Mascelli & Mary Hanson Scott

Ruth Mascelli pairs slinking, synth-fuelled transcendence with crooning, existential balladry. Softening the edges of the industrial textures he provides as one quarter of the notorious synth punk band Special Interest, Mascelli’s solo performances present a carefully constructed sequence of electronic mood pieces and melted torch songs infused with a desolate cosmic romanticism.

Mary Hanson Scott is a musician and composer based in Minneapolis. She has performed at Drone Not Drones in Minneapolis, International Noise Conference in Miami, Big Ears Festival in Knoxville (with Green Ribbon), basements, plant stores, galleries, churches, and more. In 2024, Mary earned a Deep Listening Certificate from the Pauline Oliveros Deep Listening Institute. Her work explores the interplay between sound, the body, the earth, and the cosmos.
