ABOUT THE ARTISTS:
Hunter Brown
https://www.hunterbrownsound.com/about.html
Hunter Brown is a Berlin-based composer, improviser, and sound artist. His work treats the infrastructure of digital audio — codecs, machine listening, analysis, [re]synthesis — as material for reorienting the act of listening. His work takes the form of fixed-media composition, music for instruments and electronics, multichannel sound installation, and custom computer music systems.
He works as a freelance audio engineer, serves as technical director for Ensemble Dal Niente, and co-founded the record label Party Perfect. He has taught electronic music at the Oberlin Conservatory of Music and the University of Chicago, and is currently a freelance tutor at the Catalyst Institute for Creative Arts and Technology in Berlin.
Anthony J. Stillabower
www.ajstillabower.com
Anthony J. Stillabower’s improvisations are shaped by voice, feedback percussion, and machine learning algorithms. Situated at the threshold of audibility, his approach to sound inhabits a moment of friction and flow, where presence flickers between memory and material flux.
What is the source of a sound? Is something sounding now?
Jean-Paul Jenkins
https://iwonderwhatthissoundslike.bandcamp.com/music
Jean-Paul Jenkins (b. Chicago Illinois, 1973) His primary focus is improvisation. While improvising his attention moves from low to high, from soft to loud, from near to far, from narrow to wide. His attention is what your attention follows while listening to him, it is your attention following his. He plays guitar, a sampler and claves. His current focus is decoding the Tim Bradley Spatialization Cues and asking himself “How old does it need to be to be considered Old Music?” Jenkins currently resides in Portland Oregon. Contact him, he will probably invite you over for tea.
