Andrew Kaluzynski is a composer, improviser, and multimedia artist living in Oakland, CA. Andrew's music endeavors to explore relationships between gesture and feedback, and the effects of aleatoric input on improvisations and compositions. Andrew often employs the use of obsolete and/or idiosyncratic technology as a means of restraint, inspiration, and focus, in order to cultivate a live electronic music practice.

Alex Hawthorn

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.

Daniel Newman-Lessler

Daniel Newman-Lessler is a composer, conductor, pianist, singer, educator, and dabbler in watercolor and pastels. His compositions have been performed by players and ensembles across the country, and impressively he has also found repeated success as a conductor and performer. We met at the California Institute of the Arts, where he is currently a Lilian Disney Scholar in the MFA Performer-Composer program.
In this conversation, we talk about his collaborations with other luminaries in the world of concert music such as Elizabeth A. Baker and Clara Kim, the intersections between activism, composition, and concert planning, about xenharmonicism and microtonality, Patch Adams, Black Lives Matter, and of course about several of Daniel's excellent compositions.
