Co-presented with The Low Pass

Jeff Carey is an electronic music composer, performer and curator from Anne Arundel County, Maryland. His music is abstract and sculptural, full of shapes and gesture, colored by noise bursts, percussive glitches and shifting resonance. In performance he incorporates lighting and laser projection to explore the space between visceral and external embodiment of sound. He builds physically controllable custom software synthesis instruments and is interested in exploring immediate and flexible sound production with virtuosity. He collaborates with acoustic musicians, dancers and visual artists to create multidisciplinary performances, multi-performer instrumental systems, installation art works and in improvisational settings.

Kristina Warren is a versatile and imaginative sound artist, composer, and performer based on Narragansett land, also known as Providence, Rhode Island [US]. Warren’s performances range from synth voyages and digital soundscapes to concertina meditations and beyond; Warren also presents installations, workshops, lectures, and more. All this work aims in various ways to highlight the ebbs and flows of individual and collective listening attention. Praised as "beautifully organic" (Peter Bruyn, Haarlems Dagblad) and having "a finesse of timbral traces" (Frédéric Cardin, PanM360), work by Warren has been presented internationally at venues including TIK [DE], WORM [NL], The Bluecoat [UK], Infuse [FR], Espacios Sonoros [AR], IOIC [CH], Experimental Sound Studio (Chicago, US), Rhizome (DC, US), and the MIT Spatial Sound Lab (Cambridge, US).
