Hangedup
A viola-and-percussion duo tied to Constellation's heavier chamber-experimental side.
profile
Hangedup is a Montreal experimental duo formed by violist Genevieve Heistek and percussionist Eric Craven. It connects to this archive through the same Constellation ecosystem and the broader string/percussion language around GY!BE's early scene.
The duo's sound is minimal, rhythmic, and hypnotic: viola patterns, percussion cycles, drones, and live energy that can feel both chamber-like and physically heavy.
Hangedup is a useful crossing path because it shows how the Montreal constellation could make intense instrumental music without adopting GY!BE's large-ensemble scale.
