Offering "a tone so pure it is almost a sine-wave" (The Wire), Adam Lion is an experimental percussionist who specializes in vibraphone performance. Interests that guide his music include improvisation, perception, acoustics, repetition, process, immediacy, and spontaneity. Notable projects include his release with Sarah Hennies and Ashlee Booth "The Reinvention of Romance" (Astral Spirits), a residency with New York University composer collective "nevermind the noise", and his solo vibraphone album "Gilgul" (cmntx). He has collaborated closely with a diverse spectrum of contemporary artists including Harold Budd, bang on a can, and Brian Weitz of Animal Collective. He has received funding from New Music USA, the Foundation for Contemporary Arts, The North Carolina Arts Commission and has been a featured performer at the Big Ears Festival, University of Chicago, the Boston Conservatory at Berklee, the Red Room, MASS MoCA, and the Black Mountain College Museum + Arts Center.

Mike Meanstreetz is a Los Angeles based multimedia artist whose non-traditional craft seeds new genres while reaping the fallen fruit of old. Auditory, visual, and word rarely appear in the singular, most often materialising in a tangle of synaesthesia. Sonically his practice explores and expands upon both more metrical genre adjacent sensibilities and more fluid extended techniques via drum kit/percussion, musique concrete/electronic manipulation, and harmonically loaded acoustic-acoustic nylon MIDI triggered guitar. In these various modes he has performed throughout the US, Mexico, Canada and Europe.

Hi I'm Nicki

Music is my homing signal, reaching out to old souls and those ready to look within. This is my way of finding soulmates

I’m a violist that uses improvisation to embrace instability and search for forgotten experiences and hidden energy. I invite the audience to join me in surrendering to the process of peeling back armor to reveal raw emotions without fear of judgment or imperfection.

Patrick Behnke (viola player) improviser composer likes ancient things, squiggly lines, lichens & moss, and living and dead trees.
