Doug Lynner is known for his intimate, “In-The-Circuit” performance style. That style has given birth to his “Living Synthesis” compositions - part fixed composition, part improvisation, part circuit immersion. His process is to create unique instruments for each performance that are self-active and cross-influencing in which he participates through direct interaction with each instrument’s autonomic activities through their knobs, switches and patch cords.

Matt Robidoux is a San Francisco based composer, improviser, educator, and community organizer interested in the convergence of movement and sound as it relates to free improvisation, accessibility, and the communicative capacities of sonic energy. Their primary instrument is the "corn synth" — (kinetically operated randomness network) a modular system that interprets physical input from two "ears of corn" sculptures cast in aluminum.
