[DudeAsInCool]

Last year Pitchfork helped present the launch of music programming at Basilica Hudson, a waterfront arts and performance space located inside a reclaimed 19th-century factory in Hudson, New York. The festival, now named BasilicaSoundScape, returns this year from September 13-15. Tickets are on sale now for $60.

Organized by Basilica Hudson with Pitchfork editor Brandon Stosuy and Brian DeRan (Gleam House, Leg UP!), BasilicaSoundScape is a carefully curated weekend featuring a wide range of music, visual art, and literature. It aims for specific connections and overlaps instead of festival-style overload.

Today, we're excited to announce the final additions to the BasilicaSoundScape program. On Friday, September 13, Stosuy's Show No Mercy will present a showcase. In addition to the previously announced sets from Pig Destroyer, Evian Christ, Pharmakon, and a reading from Richard Hell, we're happy to announce a reading from Peter Sotos and a performance from Julianna Barwick.

The Show No Mercy event will also feature contributions from the visual artist Lionel Maunz. Maunz will construct a large sculpture (cast concrete, pewter, iron, grains, sulfur, and semen) in the main performance area, which will stay up all weekend. It will coincide with a large-scale sound piece produced collaboratively by Stosuy, artist Matthew Barney, and composer Jonathan Bepler.

Teengirl Fantasy, Malang Djobateh, and artist Genevieve White have been added to the lineup for Saturday, September 14, curated by Gleam House and Leg UP! They join a bill that already features DIIV, Cass McCombs, No Joy, and Pure X. Saturday's show combines the old and the new, starting with one of the oldest African string instruments on the planet, the Kora (presumed to originate in the 16th century), and ending with artists using leading technology in modern instrumentation. There will be short performances from White, known for her site-specific physical endurance pieces, between sets.

Basilica Hudson is an artist-owned venue run by creative directors Melissa Auf der Maur (formerly of Hole and Smashing Pumpkins) and filmmaker Tony Stone. Follow BasilicaSoundScape on Twitter here. More information, including housing, camping, and food options, can be found on the festival's website.
