Metropolis Ensemble

We’re launching Shinboku — a new Metropolis Ensemble series at Rivington led by pianist and composer Erika Dohi with Forgotten Futures — celebrating the release of Erika’s album Myth of Tomorrow, which arrives October 24, 2025 on Switch Hit / Figure 8 Recording. Live sets by Lauren Cauley, Matt Evans, David Leon, and Erika Dohi bring select tracks to life, with a pre-show immersive sound experience by multimedia artist Phong Tran. Myth of Tomorrow is a sonic meditation on catastrophe, resilience, and rebirth, produced by Grammy-winning composer and producer William Brittelle and with development and creative support from Metropolis Ensemble and Andrew Cyr. ———— About Shinboku Partnering with Forgotten Futures’ trove of 20th Century electronic and electro-acoustic instruments, Erika Dohi* frames her series, Shinboku, as process: experimentation, instruction-scores, and iterative making as the performance itself. Erika Dohi's 2025-6 Rivington artist-in-residence series explores the power of slowness in a culture of acceleration. Selected artists work with Forgotten Futures’ rare electronic and electro-acoustic instruments as process-driven tools—where experimentation, instruction-scores, and iterative making become the performance. *2025-6 Metropolis Artist-in-Residence at Rivington “Shinboku” is presented by Metropolis Ensemble in collaboration with Erika Dohi and Forgotten Futures, with special thanks to Candice Madey, and Marinaro.
