LEWISTON — A Native American musician and visual artist, a singer from a self-described fusion-trance-zouk band, a video artist and an avant-garde composer will join forces for a multimedia presentation at Bates College on Friday, Oct. 7.

Brad Kahlhamer, long active in the Lower Manhattan music scene,  and vocalist Kelsey Barrett of the Brooklyn-based band Effi Briest will present “Yondering,” which features visuals, sound effects supporting “grass-fed stories” and desert tales gathered from personal experience.

The two performed “Yondering” at The Stone in New York City’s East Village, a space dedicated to the experimental and avant-garde.

Kahlhamer and Barrett will share the evening with video artist Ursula Scherrer and composer-bassist Kato Hideki, also of New York City, who create abstract sound-and-light pieces.

Scherrer and Hideki collaborated on “Slash,” a 2010 video and sound creation described by Scherrer as being “about light within darkness, sound within silence; glimpses of something real which invites the viewers and listeners to use their imagination to fill in the gaps.” They also worked together on “A Dream Within a Dream,” a site-specific performance loosely based on Edgar Allan Poe’s poem of that title.

Hideki, a co-founder of Death Ambient with Ikue Mori and Fred Frith, plays with a wide variety of ensembles including the analog synthesizer collective Analogos. As a bassist, he has worked with guitarist Marc Ribot and composer John Zorn.

Scherrer creates live performances and single-channel videos in addition to video and sound installations. Her work, suggesting moving paintings that leave viewers with their own stories, has been shown in festivals, galleries and museums internationally.

The 7:30 p.m. performance in the Olin Arts Center Concert Hall is free. There will be a reception between sets in the college’s Museum of Art, adjoining the concert hall. For more information, call 786-6135 or email olinarts@bates.edu.
