Join us for a double release show & screening for the video poem ‘For Jumping’ made after K. Van Petten’s newly released cassette tape ‘For Someone’. There will be live music, poetry, and the debut screening of ‘For Jumping’ followed by a short Q&A with the creators.

Van Petten created ‘For Someone’ in Port Townsend, Washington where they sampled sounds, wrote music, and recorded poetry in residence with Centrum at Fort Worden. The tape is available for purchase online via Hello America Stereo Cassette, or at The Vera Project’s cassette tape vending machine. The short film ‘For Jumping’ is a video poem, exploring moments of ‘jumping the railing’. Prints from the short film will be available for purchase via donation to Centrum.

This event proudly supports Centrum Residences, the non-profit that made this work possible. Centrum envisions a future where anyone from anywhere can nurture their creativity in an environment that is supportive, challenging and uplifting – building a world of greater inclusion through the arts. All proceeds from tickets and merch sales will be donated to Centrum.

Words on For Someone:

“This album does the very best of what poetry and sound can do. I listened to the first half in the car, on my way to work, and all day what I’d heard made a little refrain inside me. Made me feel more alive, comforted. I listened to the second half on my way home, and I wept, but in that way that heals. This album is a vital thing, and I mean that both ways. Alive, and necessary. For Someone is a wound, a door, a balm.” – Nicole Morning

“The music- gentle and light as air, a tapestry of earthy sound. The words are illuminating like sunshine after a long night. There is a benevolence to these 11 pieces of writing that will stick with you long after listening. For Someone is in fact for someone for you, for me, for anyone who needs it, and I feel certain a very large number of people need this encouraging, sweet, magical creature of a debut album.”  – Adam Gnade
