One night only: Friday, June 5, 6pm – 9pm
Pink Noise Projects is pleased to present Darsombra Sol: a one-night exhibition of the work of Darsombra and solo performance by Brian Daniloski.
Darsombra is a cinematic conceptual rock band from Baltimore, Maryland. Featuring composer Brian Daniloski on guitar, bass, and vocals, and filmmaker and composer Ann Everton on synth, vocals, percussion, and projections, Darsombra is internationally known for walking the line between glam-prog-psych-stoner metal and site-specific installation performance art. Darsombra calls their sound “trans-apocalyptic galaxy rock;” dynamic, kaleidoscopic music for people transitioning through endtimes and dreaming of space.
In 1998, Darsombra was initially conceived as SUCKPiG, Daniloski’s solo side project to his renowned sludge metal/noise rock band, Meatjack. In 2005, still playing the same material, he began touring under the new name Darsombra. In 2010, Darsombra became a two-piece with the addition of video artist Ann Everton, who began to craft the visual elements of the band, from album graphics and show posters, to stage clothes and her pychotropic visual projections. By 2013, Everton had joined Daniloski as a musician, performer, and composer, as well as continuing to produce and project her mind-bending video tracks composed exclusively for each song.
For over a decade, Darsombra performed in 48 states and 26 countries throughout North America, Asia, and Europe, at music venues, festivals, DIY spaces, house shows, galleries, city ruins, dive bars, cultural centers, record stores, coffee shops, and parks—not to mention their legendary pop-up generator shows at national monuments and forests, or just by the side of the road. No matter where they performed, Darsombra’s hallucinogenic live shows elicited responses such as: “I didn’t know what to expect, but that was awesome,” “I’ve never seen anything like that before,” and “it was like an acid trip, but without the acid.”
Ann Everton transitioned into the eternal fabric of the universe in a tragic tour accident in October 2025. But her prolific creations—spanning across genres of film, sculpture, music, and performance art—live on to inspire hearts and minds forever. Ann and Brian’s enduring love continues to find expression through cosmic guitar solos and interweaving riffs, blissed-out synth sequences and bass lines, and emotive swells of a gong or tolls of bells peppered throughout their work, in addition to vocal stylings that range from wordless choral harmonies to percussive chants, grunts, and word-salad lyrics. These sonic elements combine to conjure seamless, evocative music, communicating a sense of emotion, narrative, or ideas that are all entirely subjective for the listener—this is music for the imagination.
