Patty Kim Hamilton: Playwright & Director
12/10/20 • 82 min
Episode 4: The Writing Life. Welcome to a very cozy episode of In Process, as we settle down with Patty Kim Hamilton, and venture into the uncertain limbos -- as wells as the heavens -- of poetry and playwriting. A playwright, director-dramaturg, pisces and performance-maker, Patty is currently completing her masters in Playwriting at the University of the Arts, Berlin. She received her Bachelors with Honors from Stanford University, where she was the recipient of the Sherifa Omade Edoga Prize for Work Addressing Social Issues. She has worked at Playwrights Horizons, Crowded Fire, HAU, the English Theater Berlin, Ars Nova and with Gob Squad.
As Playwright-in-Residence in 2019 at the Shakespeare Academy at Stratford, CT, she developed her play ‘Peeling Oranges’. Her play ‘ICH HÄTTE GERN ZU MEINER LEBZEIT KEIN KRIEG (I don't wanna experience war)’ will premiere at Stadttheater Bremerhaven, June 2021 (delayed due to COVID). Her play 'when it hurts // this body is just a house' was a semi-finalist for the 2020 Eugene O'Neill Playwrights Conference and was selected for Cimientos 2021 Play Development Program. Her play ‘Sex Play’ will have a staged reading in October 2020 at the HfMT in Hamburg. Her work exists at the intersection of the intimate and the political - meditating on bodies, family, language and the taboo. Through her writing, she attempts to facilitate communal healing, honest/transformative reflection and joy.

Episode 3: Engineering The Sonic Zone. We're off to the ears today with Anna Tskhovrebov, an experimental musician among other things such as audio engineer at Ableton, live visuals programmer, and avid bird-listener. Anna graduated from Stanford in 2018 with a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering, and an M.A. in Music, Science, and Technology. She moved continents to Berlin, to work alongside Robert Henke on designing the graphics for his retro-futuristic audiovisual show, CBM 8032 AV, before settling in to program instruments and effects at music software company Ableton. Anna also composes her own music under the name viewfinder, sampling unexpected and haunting sounds from our everyday environments, and putting them in conversation with each other in funky, IDM-inspired soundscapes.

Freddy Avis: Electronic Musician & Composer
Episode 5: Writing & Producing Music. Today we speak with the other mind behind In Process: Freddy Avis, a sharp, futuristic musician for the 21st Century. Based in Highland Park, Los Angeles, Freddy got his start working under acclaimed composer James S. Levine (Glee, American Horror Story, Bloodline, Nip Tuck, The Last Ship) for two years at Hans Zimmer’s Remote Control Productions in Santa Monica, CA. Since then Freddy holds music credits on hit shows including Major Crimes, Instinct, Star, & Chambers, as well as countless placements on Tiger King, Shark Tank, Dateline, & The Dr. Oz Show. He’s also contributed synth & percussion work on James Newton Howard’s scores for Walt Disney features Jungle Cruise and Raya and the Last Dragon. But even more enticing is Freddy's electronic alter ego, Arswain, under which he composes dark, inspiring, and profoundly eco-conscious music for our time. 2020 has seen the release of his debut album, Partitioning, as well as several music videos for the project.
Freddy holds a pair of Bachelor's degrees in Music and Political Science from Stanford University. During his Stanford tenure, Freddy pitched for Stanford's baseball team and was drafted by the Washington Nationals in the 25th round of the 2012 Major League Baseball Draft.
