On January 24, 2026, Lost In New Haven presents an immersive evening of live music and art led by New Haven–based electronic musician and producer Ionne (the performance alias of Dr. Maurice Lajuane Harris). The event bridges sound, story, and visual imagination, blending the electricity of contemporary electronica with the organic warmth of live instrumentation in a performance that mirrors the museum’s own spirit—where heritage and modern creativity meet.
Joined by acclaimed guest artists Trevor Babb (guitar) and Dylan Rowland (piano), Ionne will guide audiences through two dynamic live sets drawn from his electrifying 5015 Records releases Pathos (2025) and A Light Untruth (2025). The performance celebrates New Haven’s creative synergy across music, fashion, and visual art, unfolding within the museum’s one-of-a-kind cultural venue—a converted warehouse alive with sound, history, and community.
About the Program
The evening opens with an introductory set of original compositions by Babb and Rowland, highlighting their distinct approaches to texture, harmony, and live improvisation.
The centerpiece of the evening features Ionne’s Pathos, a five-song cycle originally composed as a soundtrack for New-Haven based designer Tea Montgomery’s fashion takeover at Union Station in June 2025. Each piece explores the emotional landscapes of pride, envy, imposter syndrome, patience, and acceptance, brought to life through Ionne’s unique blend of Afrocentric EDM, soul, and cinematic electronica. Paired with striking human‑designed, AI‑animated visual projections, the “Pathos” performance embodies a journey through emotion, identity, and self‑knowledge.
Following Pathos, Ionne, Babb, and Rowland shift into selections from A Light Untruth, Ionne’s fourth full‑length album and conceptual exploration of light and darkness, revelation and contradiction. Originally inspired by a multi-disciplinary collaboration with painter Mary Barr Rhodes and projection artist Benjamin Britton, the work examines illumination—both literal and spiritual—as a paradoxical force. Set pieces such as “Headlight,” “Spotlight,” “Sunrise,” and “The Neverending Sun” act as meditations on contrast, transformation, and the unseen forces that define truth.
