Swimming is back with very special guest Deuén @traderockstar.

Once described as "something one might hear before they pass," Deuén is the solo project of producer, bassist, composer, and visual artist Kaiuna O. Their "rnb concrete" weaves metallic production, bass, and reverb-coated grunge-esque vocals into unusual and tender melodies. Deuén uses sound to explore the shadowland where memory blurs the line between pleasure and pain, vulnerability and presence, the grotesque and beauty; from a broken mirror to a hesitant kiss or the sunlight that cuts the trees, their practice is an ode to the moments that make life worth living. A firework of delirium shot straight from the heart, Deuén's performances are a devotion to dance, improvisation, theatrics, fashion, sampling, 90s RnB, folk, and rock. Deuén has performed and showcased work with Fridman Gallery, Microscope Gallery, Slut Island Festival, Montez Press Radio, Creative Code Art, Stone Circle Theatre, Laboratory Spokane, Made in Media Center NY, and St. Mark's Church.

I adore the lushness of Deuén’s work and am excited for us to swim together!
