Kale Elk performs programs of improvised music, strange settings of eclectic repertoire, and multimedia pieces. Concerts evoke ceremonial events, transforming the experience with otherworldly sensibilities and shamanistic intent toward renewal. Experiments in theatrical staging and masks often involve the entire audience. They have also incorporated guest musicians and artists, such as Devin Gray, Ben Gerstein, Kate Gentile, Mara Mayer, James Tweedy and many others.
