Alex Hawthorn is an Artist, Composer, and Technologist based in Los Angeles and Brooklyn.

His work interrogates notions of archive and memory, bringing together aspects of traditional composition and experimental sound design with elements of photography, videography, and other forms of digital media. In his solo work, he combines elements of old and new technologies: traditional orchestral scoring, solo piano performance, field recordings, and various synthesis techniques, to create works that bring the listener into a place of meditation and memory.

Andrew Kaluzynski

Andrew Kaluzynski is a composer, improviser, and multimedia artist living in Oakland, CA.
