New work by SF-based acoustician, composer, and French horn player Andy Guthrie. Álvaro Cáceres (cute::wire) opens the night.

Andy Guthrie is an acoustician, composer, and French horn player living in San Francisco, CA. They studied music composition and english at the University of Iowa and architectural acoustics at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, where they completed their Ph.D in 2014. Their music combines their knowledge of acoustics and contemporary composition/improvisation. Their electronic music has focused on exploiting the natural acoustic phenomena of unique architectural spaces through minimal processing of field recordings. Their composition has focused on the orchestration of non-musical sounds, speech in particular. Their French horn playing has focused on electronic processing and extended techniques used in improvisatory settings, as a soloist and with Fraufraulein, among others. Their acoustics research has focused on the use of ambisonics for stage acoustics.

Álvaro Cáceres (cute::wire) is an LA-based composer and coder from Madrid. He improvises music with computer code. Blending djent grooves, abrasive noise electronics and minimalism, cute::wire shares his process to the audience live by projecting the code he types, combined with generative visuals.

cute::wire's shows in 6 countries include Aquarium of The Pacific, SoundPedro, Coaxial Arts LA, Andy Vargas, 011668, Neyva, Hypereikon and LOOK MUM NO COMPUTER
