Dolphin Midwives is the solo project of Portland-based composer/sound artist Sage Elaine Fisher. Her ecstatic noise harp ritual experiments balance harp, electronics, voice, microtonal zither and non-traditional percussion to conjure non-linear and esoteric in-between spaces. At ISP 2017, she’ll explore polyrhythms, bird cycles and overtone spaces with special guests Paul Michael Schaefer (Institute for Creative Dying; Dead Death) on hammered dulcimer and Andy Rayborn (Paper Gates; Kulululu) on bass clarinet.
