For the better part of a decade now, The Honourable Elizabeth A. Baker has refused to let herself or listeners get comfortable.

Her vehicle has been a spaceship of semi-modular and analog synths, MIDI controllers, theremins, and computers, that collides with toy piano, harmonium, handmade instruments and found objects (once, that meant vibrators, another time, her efforts landed Baker on the Google homepage).

She’s bringing all of it to St. Petersburg’s Museum of Fine Arts for a one-night-only performance of new work inspired by work in the MFA’s new Nina Yankowitz exhibit “In the Out/Out the In.”

Like Baker, the work of Yankowitz, a multidisciplinary artist, doesn’t just live on the fringes but blows past them. The show is a career retrospective of Yankowitz’s work, and the MFA commissioned Baker to compose and record new music based on six paintings in the gallery right now.

Recorded at Gainesville’s Pulp Arts, CDs will be available ahead of the streaming release, but this gig is the only chance to hear the work live while surrounded by the very art that inspired it.

Tickets start at $40 for Sound in Your Eyes Listening Session happening Thursday, July 10 in St. Pete.
