Clay Chaplin is an electronic musician, improviser, and audio engineer from Los Angeles who explores the realms of sampling, field recording, analog electronics, and computer synthesis for creative sonic expression.    His solo performances often utilize custom electronics in combination with computer processing and stochastic code structures to create chaotic instruments for improvisation.

Marshweed is a group of musicians who plays the music of Los Angeles-based performer-composer Heather Lockie. Drawing from whatever soundmaking devices are at hand - a string trio, close vocal harmonies, a penny whistle, a live-processed field recording, an oven rack, a folk song, a bell - Marshweed weaves sonic tapestries ranging from aggro-noise sound painting to folk Americana ballad to doomy chanting, back to ballad, onward to atonal pop-culture-referencing chant, sometimes ending at the beach.
