Theo Baer (iT Boy) is a composer, instrumentalist, collector, and hand-maker based in Brooklyn, NY. His relationship to sound was born of extensive training in jazz and classical performance and theory, and continues to evolve through the exploration ofelectronics, tape loops, modular synths, and a growing arrangement both of analog and acoustic equipment. “iT Boy”, Baer’s solo act, has been producing and releasing recorded works for the past decade, including “The Nail House EP” by way of New Amsterdam Records (2020). https://itboytpb.bandcamp.com/

Kamari Carter (b. 1992) is a producer, performer, sound designer, and installation artist primarily working with sound and found objects. Carter’s practice circumvents materiality and familiarity through a variety of recording and amplification techniques to investigate notions such as space, systems of identity, oppression, control, and surveillance. Driven by the probative nature of perception and the concept of conversation and social science, he seeks to expand narrative structures through sonic stillness. Carter’s work has been exhibited at such venues as Automata Arts, MoMA, Mana Contemporary, Flux Factory, Fridman Gallery, Lenfest Center for the Arts, WaveHill and has been featured in a range of major publications including ArtNet, Precog Magazine, LevelGround and WhiteWall. Carter holds a BFA in Music Technology from California Institute of the Arts and an MFA in Sound Art from Columbia University. https://www.kamaricarter.com/

Will Johnson is an audio artist from the Bronx, New York. His work centers on blackness — the material and immaterial conditions of space that shape sound into movement and historical record.

He is the recipient of the Jerome Foundation Fellowship for Sound Art/Composition (2018) and the McKnight Foundation Fellowship for Musicians (2019). His commercial work includes licensed sound for Acura, Beats Electronics, HBO and collaborative contributions to 2016 grammy-winning best electronic album Skin. His live performances have been commissioned by Lincoln Center, the Kitchen and MASS MoCA.

Bonnie Jones is a Korean-American improvising musician, poet, and educator working primarily with electronic sound and text.

Jake Sokolov-Gonzalez is a musician and educator from New York City whose practice is based equally in free improvisation and tedious technical labor.

He’s been teaching creative music in the NYC public schools since 2013. He produces pop and dance music under the name BABL. https://www.jakesokolovgonzalez.com/
