The spiritual force behind L.A.’s eclectic music scene.” – The New York Times

Step into a space where sound is ceremony, where music is both meditation and manifestation. Guided by the boundless spirit of Carlos Niño, this intimate gathering is more than a performance—it’s a portal. A salon of deep listening and spontaneous creation, where Niño and his ever-evolving circle of sonic travelers—including keyboardist and healer Surya Botofasina, shape-shifting guitarist Nate Mercereau, and surprise guests—conjure waves of resonance, rhythm, and revelation.

Subtle Movements Trio moves like mist, channeling currents of ambient drift, spiritual jazz, cosmic funk, and improvisational mysticism. A shimmering, psychedelic séance, unfolding in real time. Frequencies align, vibrations rise—step inside and let the music move through you.
