Many Many Girls is the ongoing and evolving project of Riley S, Kwami Winfield and Anina Ivry-Block. While these three have remained at the core of MMG , the project itself functions as a decentralized and open collective for all girls and friends of girls interested in exploring sound. MMG’s sonic explorations often focus on the regeneration of sound through its material decay with their use of inexpensive or salvaged equipment .

Amp Drop:
Performed at both The Shift (bk, NY) and Chaos Computer, the girls suspended a peavy amplifier with spring reverb from the ceiling using a pully system. It was connected to a peavy speaker that sat parralel to it on the ground with the speaker facing up. Varying the distance of the suspended amp affected the feedback’s volume and tonality. At points we would drop the amp fully onto the speaker creating loud crashing sounds as a result of feedback, impact and the spring reverb.

MMG vs MMW:
The girls staged a performance outside of Roulette in anticipation of Roulette's performance of Petr Kotik's six-hour-long piece entitled "Many Many Women" . We parked in front of roulette and live streamed a performance from the car using battery powered and acoustic instruments to represent the “many many girls”.Here is documentation from one of the workers of Roulette:
