PETER J WOODS - Milwaukee artist Peter J Woods’ solo work resides within its own universe. Pulling equally from the worlds of harsh noise and absurdist theatre, Woods’ performances build a sense of terror from simple imagery, muted text and an unpredictable barrage of silence and sound. His most recent project, “Impure Gold,” represents this aesthetic and thematic sensibility through a multi-media approach that includes writing, theatre, concerts, photography and film.

CHRISTOPHER BURNS - is a composer and improviser whose works collage and layer musical trajectories, creating imaginative juxtapositions and innovative forms. His music embraces complexity and clarity, incorporating densely braided, rapidly shifting materials alongside gradually evolving, linearly directed textures. Recent projects add digital animation, choreography, and motion capture into this mixture, integrating performance, sound, and visuals into a unified experience. Christopher’s work as a music technology researcher shapes his creative output in both electroacoustic and instrumental chamber music. He writes improvisation software which explores a variety of unconventional musical interfaces, and facilitates the performance of multilayered electronic textures. In the instrumental domain, he uses algorithmic procedures to create and elaborate distinctive pitch and rhythmic structures.

ELLEN PHAN - works primarily In the field of computer music. Creating a distinctly psychoacoutsic sound sphere, Phan’s performances aim to open the subconscious mind by employing the teachings of hypnosis. Her approach to the sonic experience is abstract and disassociative.

CGRSM - Collaborative guitar project of Los Angeles based sound, visual and performance artists Gabie Strong and Christopher Reid Martin. Together they create longform drone music, focusing on amplified harmonic sensory inundations to render spirited body resonances.
