Caryn Cline (US, curator) is a filmmaker and educator originally from the Missouri Ozarks. She is the executive director of Interbay Cinema Society and the curator of the Engauge Experimental Film Festival.

Matt Robidoux (they/he) is a San Francisco based composer, improviser, and educator interested in sound-gesture causality and the convergence of movement and sound as it relates to free improvisation and accessibility. Their primary instrument is the “corn synth” (Kinetically Operated Randomness Network), a modular system that interprets physical input from two “ears of corn” sculptures cast in aluminum.

They are part of a composer collective with Sally Decker, Brendan Glasson, Briana Marela, Michelle Moeller, and Mitch Stahlmann, and Flatways, an electroacoustic improvising trio with Jordan Glenn and Sudhu Tewari. They have a duo with Laetitia Sonami called The Gleaners that often collaborates with Paul DeMarinis. They have worked with Creativity Explored, Del Sol Quartet, Fred Frith, Eclipse Quartet, William Winant, Jaap Blonk, Laura Steenberge, Sunburned Hand of the Man, Anla Courtis, J Mascis, and gabby fluke-mogul.

Why corn? 

I like to focus on the modularity/ubiquity of corn and this kind of illogical sculptural sound causality as a starting point for free improvisation.  The instrument was invented during my residency at ACRE in Wisconsin, where I cast two corn cob moldings in aluminum at a metal pouring workshop in a cornfield. Movement and touch determine the parameters of pitch, velocity, and duration. This makes for an accessible instrument, at once charming and absurd, while also a merging of my practice creating space for unrestricted musical improvisation.

The modular environment, configured around two touch controlled aluminum cast ears of corn, is informed by my ongoing work with Pauline Oliveros' final project AUMI (Adaptive Use Musical Instrument) in direct collaboration with the disability community and multidisciplinary arts organizations in the San Francisco Bay Area. The powerful echo and artistic legacy of Mills College CCM (1967-2022) resonates in my design of the corn synth, modeling it after the Buchla 158, the original synthesizer used at the San Francisco Tape Music Center beginning in 1963.

Joshua and Konrad's collaborative performances draw from a wide palette of influences, including musique concrète, metal, noise, film noir, found footage, and personal film. Together, they improvise the construction, layering, and movement of sound and image in real time.

Konrad digitally reworks fragments of self-shot and hand-processed 16mm film, weaving them with sampled media through live looping, triggering, and layering, while Joshua builds shifting sonic landscapes from electric guitar, tape loops, electronics, and field recordings that range from meditative drones and spectral harmonies to dense waves of noise.Together, they create improvised cinema: a living tapestry of texture and resonance where image and sound move fluidly through states of tension and release, intimacy and vastness.

About the Artists

Joshua Churchill is an Oakland-based cross-disciplinary artist whose sound and light work spans performance and installation, often dissolving the boundary between the two. He has collaborated extensively with filmmakers including Konrad Steiner and Paul Clipson, performed in multiple experimental metal and drone projects, and under the solo moniker Plumes. His work has been performed and exhibited throughout the United States and abroad.

on vimeo

Konrad Steiner makes single channel videos and performs both scripted live narration and live improvised montage. His work is sourced from self-shot and hand-processed 16mm film, video and media samples. His presentation of live cinema in the theater is an arrangement of images and sounds loose and evocative enough to bring forth associations for the audience like a shared dream.

Ven Voisey is a sculptor, composer, and designer who currently splits his time between Oakland, CA and Wonder Valley (Twentynine Palms), CA. His work is informed by an attention to underlying textures of his surroundings and relationship to place; he creates rituals, tools and circumstances as a means of exploring the relationship between internal and external space; between the spiritual and physical.

Yan Jun is a central figure of experimental music in Beijing, making a return visit to northern California. Blurring boundaries between electroacoustic improvisation, noise, movement, everyday object installations, and poetry, Yan performs regularly in the underground experimental scene in Beijing while making frequent international appearances in Asia, Europe, and the Americas. As stated in his bio: “he tries to make music simple and primal. He plays in a noise-doom band and world-improvisation band while his solo sets employ plastic bags, tinfoil, slippers, feedback, screaming and concepts.” Always responsive to the environments in which he performs, he says "I wish I was a piece of field recording." 

Active with many collaborations, Yan also organizes events and runs the label Subjam, publishing works of experimental music and sound art from China and abroad since the early 2000s. In 2017 we partnered as 23five inc. with the Chinese Culture Center in San Francisco where Yan played solo and in duo with then-local Gabby Wen. Prior to the existence of Re:Sound, he performed in San Francisco via 23five as well. We are happy to welcome him back now for a solo set in Vallejo.

Franco-English artists Jenny Pickett and Julien Ottavi, based in Nantes, created Solar Return in 2009. Drawing inspiration from electromagnetic phenomena, they craft completely mind-blowing sound creations. Their toolkit includes modular synth scores, wild oscillators, DIY electronics, reflecting electromagnetic patterns like solar flares, urban mobile phone antennas, and even the mysterious sounds of our beloved household appliances!

During their performances, the duo dives deep into the world of frequencies, static, and sound for an extraordinary physical experience. Solar Return shows evolve with frequencies, noise crusher filters, oscillators, and waveforms, interacting each time with the surrounding electromagnetic environment. They use a VLF (very low frequency) antenna as an instrument to unveil hidden soundscapes and electrical pulses that massage our bodies daily, boosting our perception and intensifying sounds, noise, and music.

bLackPullet Grimoire is the moniker of Bay Area musician, sound artist, improviser, and composer Wayne Grim. The project fuses haunting tape-recorded voices with minimalist composition, dense sonic textures, live improvisation, and towering guitar soundscapes. It’s metal. It’s cinematic. It’s noisy. It’s electronic.

This performance marks the debut of new material from BPG’s forthcoming third release, presented alongside and inspired by 10,000 Things, a new video work by Bay Area filmmaker Phoebe Tooke.

With special guests Mary Elizabeth Yarbrough on vocals and Christopher Cornell.

Yann Novak (b. 1979) is a multidisciplinary artist and composer based in Los Angeles. His work is guided by his unique perspective as a queer autodidact. Informed by his partial color blindness and dyslexia, Novak uses sound and light to explore how these intangible materials can act as catalysts to focus our awareness on our own direct experience. Novak’s diverse body of work—audiovisual installations, performances, architectural interventions, sound diffusions, recording, and prints—invites participants to imagine how divergent our individual perceptions of reality can be.

G. Brenner is the project of LA-based musician and artist Gabriel Brenner. With a rich, operatic tenor and sharp, evocative lyricism, Brenner has crafted an idiosyncratic musical style that falls gracefully between folk, soul, and experimental electronic music. His work is malleable, poetic, and mournful, vividly rendering how traumas, personal and otherwise, echo through daily life. In August 2021, after several EPs as Pastel, Brenner released Brushfire, his debut album under new moniker G. Brenner. At its core, Brushfire documents inner and external worlds collapsing at a fast-forward pace, and the ensuing struggle to find meaning in the remaining ruins. He is currently working on the follow-up to Brushfire.

CGRSM is an initialism that stands for the Los Angeles duo of artists Christopher Reid Martin (Rotary ECT) and Gabie Strong. Known for playing amplified long-form guitar work, their live performance explores the creation of sound as a noisy reflection on being. Both artists have extensive exhibition and performance records, as well as releases on Crystalline Morphologies, Dragon's Eye Recordings, Via Injection, and The Tapeworm.

Christopher Robin Duncan is an Oakland-based artist who employs repetition and accumulation as a basis for experiments in visual and sound based media. Often in flux between maximal and minimal, Duncan's work is a constant balancing act of positive and negative, loud and quiet, solitary and participatory and tends to lead towards questions regarding perception, experience and transcendence. Time's physical and psychological effects have become paramount in these experimental endeavors.

Yasi Poursamad studied speech and hearing with John Ohala and Erv Hafter and then worked for Don Buchla for ten years building musical instruments. The only piece they’ve performed written by someone they didn’t know is Jerry Hunt’s Sur John Dee (1966).

Ami Radunskaya is a mathematician, musician and composer. She is a professor of mathematics at Pomona College. Among her areas of expertise are mathematical modeling of tumor growth and treatment, dynamical systems and analysis of non-linear models of power systems. She is the President of the EDGE (Enhancing Diversity in Graduate Education) Foundation. EDGE is a national program designed to increase the number of women students, particularly minority women, successfully completing graduate programs in the mathematical sciences.

Renowned composer, theorist, sound engineer, professor, speaker, researcher and current director of the Art and Science Laboratory, David Dunn is also the recipient of several awards. In 1999, this conceptual artist's CD-ROM Music, Language, and Environment: A Thirty Year Retrospective (IML) brought together his texts, musical scores, sounds and images. The indispensable catalogue Eigenwelt Der Apparatewelt (Ars Electronica, 1992)(1)was also created under his leadership. Like artists Robert Smithson and Michael Heizer, who left galleries and museums behind and explored the intersection between art and nature by producing monumental works known as Land Art, Dunn made his reputation when he left the recording studio for the natural world, to experiment with new sound and musical forms. In 1973, for example, he traveled with three trumpet players to the Grand Canyon, where they improvised over a three-day period with the spatial acoustics of rock formations and animals in the Canyon. He is a pioneer of what is now called "environmental music." At the heart of such research lies the question: can environmental sounds be considered music? He has since prepared numerous in situ performances, installations, soundtracks and radio programs, all while pursuing his bio-acoustical research.

Glass shards and pinecones, glaciers, boxspring mattresses, a flock of accordions, circular saw blades, viola, the erhu, hyenas and whales and elk, Cheryl E. Leonard’s music finds its raw materials just about anywhere. From these diverse sources come works that embrace the spectrum of musical possibilities: improvised to composed, acoustic to electronic, diaphanous to bombastic, notes to noise. Over the last decade Cheryl has focused on investigating sounds, structures, and objects from the natural world. Many of her recent works cultivate stones, wood, water, ice, sand, shells, feathers, and bones as musical instruments. Leonard uses microphones to explore the micro-aural worlds contained within her sound sources and develops compositions that highlight the unique voices they contain. Her projects often involve constructing one-of-a-kind sculptural instruments that are played live on stage. She is particularly interested in collaborating across artistic disciplines and developing site-specific works.

Cheryl holds a BA from Hampshire College and an MA from Mills College, both in music composition. She studied composition and electronic music with Alvin Curran, Chris Brown, George Lewis, Frederic Rzewski, Laeticia Sonami, Salvatore Macchia, and Alan Bonde; and performance art with Moira Roth, Carole E. Schneemann, and Betsy Damon.

Jorge Bachmann is a photo-based, multimedia and sound artist. He has collected field recordings exploring the strange, unique, and microcosmic sounds of everyday life. He creates sound atmospheres meant for deep listening and often composed in symbiosis with sculptural installations exploring social and sensual constructs and experiences. Bachmann has exhibited and performed in North America, Europe, Japan, and South America – including appearances at the San Francisco Electronic Music Festival and projects with the MoBu Dance Group. He has also been the Technical Director and Resident Artist of San Francisco’s Sound Wave Festival since 2005.

Jen Boyd is a sound artist and curator based in Northern California who works with field recordings of the natural world, forgotten spaces, and the environment. She received degrees from CalArts and Mills College in composition and recording media. Jen continues to spark the interest in people of all ages to listen to the environment they live in everyday. 

Kevin Corcoran works with environmental recordings, feedback systems and cassette tapes. These sounds are often combined with percussion in his performances where displaced environmental sounds provide a temporary acoustic identity of the space, and layers of past actions join the present moment of sound-making. After earning a degree in Technocultural Studies from the University of California at Davis where he studied sonic arts and media theory he relocated to San Francisco where he currently lives and works.

Thank you to Steve Dunsky, the Forest Service and the Riverbank for sharing this space.

Re:Sound is an experimental music series which explores the relationship between forgotten spaces, sound abstraction and the natural environment. The series takes place on the Mare Island Shoreline Heritage Preserve, a 215-acre park that formerly served as one of the first Naval Ammunition Depots.

The event is held in a concrete munitions storage magazine measuring 55'x100' with ceilings over 15'. The architecture of the building traps sound resulting in a prolonged reverberation.

Maggi Payne composes music for concert presentation, video, and dance, and is a video artist, photographer, recording engineer, flutist, and Co-Director of the Center for Contemporary Music at Mills College, in the San Francisco Bay Area, where she teaches composition, electronic music, and recording engineering. She creates immersive environments, inviting listeners/participants to enter the sound and be carried with it, experiencing it from the inside out in intimate detail. The sounds are almost tactile, visible, tangible.
Her works have been presented in the Americas, Europe, Japan, and Australasia. She received Composer's Grants and an Interdisciplinary Arts Grant from the National Endowment for the Arts; video grants from the Mellon Foundation and the Western States Regional Media Arts Fellowships Program; and honorary mentions from Concours International de Musique et d’Art Sonore Electroacoustiques de Bourges and Prix Ars Electronica.
Her works appear on Aguirre, Innova, Lovely Music, Starkland, Asphodel, New World (CRI), Root Strata, Centaur, Ubuibi, MMC, Digital Narcis, Music and Arts, Frog Peak, and/OAR, Capstone, and Mills College labels.

Raised on a farm in Idaho, Elise Baldwin now resides in Seattle. Active in the experimental music and electronic art community, she focuses on solo intermedia performance and audio-visual installation. Her work revolves around intersections between the natural world and the technological and often employs archival sources. Elise can usually be found digitally composting media in her studio or building software instruments. Her work demonstrates clear predilections: a fondness for recombinant media and collage techniques, a fascination with human memory and technological forms of communication, and a historic multiplicity with regard to medium. Interrelationships between audio and video have been the primary area of exploration and experimentation for the past decade.
 

Flex is a sound art collaboration between Crank Ensemble veterans Larnie Fox, Bodil Fox, Chris Miller, and Lena Strayhorn. Flex explores sound and visual performance using low-tech handmade instruments, bamboo structures, and lighting. Members are visual artists and musicians working together to create layers of material-based sound produced by invented analog instruments accompanied by improvised visual effects.

For the Mare Island performance, Flex will look at the idea of Circumambulation, individually and collectively, meandering through hand-cranked soundscapes to produce a fragile gesamtkunstwerk.

Recent Flex performances include Center for New Music, Montalvo Art Center, and the Turquoise Yantra Grotto.

My musical work subdivides itself into as many ways as occasions arise for me to think and act with sound. Those occasions have always to do with a strong meeting with an outside element : an instrument (saxophone/organ), a theoretical idea (what is "rumour"?), and mainly a collaborating friend (André Almuro, Éric Cordier, Éric La Casa, Franck Gourdien, Taku Unami, Seijiro Murayama, Lotus Edde-Khouri) or long-term teams (Ames Room, Hubbub, Pheromones)... There then follows a collection of themes which, in turn, influences the evolution of the musical work and define the direction of meetings to come: the thickness of the air, the pidgin, the musical instrument considered as affective automaton, listening dark unto itself, the algebra of and in hearing, sound as a signature of space, signature of objects, signature of what it is not... the fact that French uses the same word – le temps – for time and weather, propagation and spread of forms in time etc. Music is, then, a way to test reality. Conversely, it’s a test whose experience defines a new distribution of the whole body by artificially localizing it in an unknown and purely physical environment, all the while being able to think, count, make relations or understand places, and so forth. The emotion I look for in music is made out of all these strata and the sliding of one over the other during the act of listening.

Ashley Bellouin’s work explores the merging of sound art, electro-acoustic composition, and instrument building. She focuses on the studies of sonology, psychoacoustics, and the interaction between sound and architecture. Her compositions emphasize and exploit the sonic potential contained within a single musical gesture, regularly using electronics to develop latent qualities. Spatialization, beat frequencies, auditory illusions, and microtonal tunings are frequent compositional tools.

Ashley holds an MFA in Electronic Music & Recording Media from Mills College, where she was awarded the Frog Peak Collective Experimental Music Award for most outstanding thesis. She has performed extensively throughout the west coast and has held residencies at the Paul Dresher Ensemble Artist Residency Center, the UC Berkeley Center for New Media, the Djerassi Resident Artists Program, Sitka Center for Art and Ecology, and EMS in Stockholm, Sweden. In the Fall of 2016 her debut solo LP, Ballads, will be released on Drawing Room Records.

Professionally, Ashley has worked for synth pioneers Don Buchla, as his assistant in research and development, and Dave Smith, as a technician at Dave Smith Instruments. She currently serves as Visiting Faculty at the San Francisco Art Institute and resides in Oakland, CA.

Daniel Menche's work originates from the idea that there is no restriction to potential sound sources, especially in terms of a sound’s potential sonic energy. Self-made recorded sound sources, instruments, and percussion can all be equally harnessed in creating a living and emotional feeling within Daniel Menche's contemporary work.

Mem1's music moves beyond melody, lyricism and traditional structural confines, revealing an organic evolution of sound that has been called “a perfect blend of harmony and cacophony” (Forced Exposure).

Chris Duncan is an Oakland-based artist who employs repetition and accumulation as a basis for experiments in visual and sound based media. Often in flux between maximal and minimal, Duncan's work is a constant balancing act of positive or negative, loud or quite, solitary or participatory and tends to lead towards questions regarding perception, experience and transcendence.

Zachary James Watkins is a sound artist who has earned degrees in composition from The Cornish School and Mills College. Zachary has received numerous grants and commissions and presented works in festivals across the United States, Mexico and Europe. 

Re:Sound explores the relationship between forgotten spaces, sound abstraction and the natural environment. The series takes place on the Mare Island Shoreline Heritage Preserve, a 215-acre park that formerly served as one of the first Naval Ammunition Depots. The event is held in a concrete munitions storage magazine measuring 55'x100' with ceilings over 15'. The architecture of the building traps sound resulting in a prolonged reverberation.

Join us for three very special solo performances by Dave Phillips, Rudolf Eb.er & Joke Lanz Tickets are now avaliable.

Founded in Zürich in 1987, the 5chimpfluch Grupp3 has become the epitome of radical outsider art in many respects. Appearing in varying lineups over the years, the 5chimpfluch Grupp3 has been forging a bridge from stirring audio and visual works to disturbing and highly challenging live performances ever since. Their work has covered a wide range of live and recorded output: audio/sonic art, actionism, bruitism, performance, musique concrète, painting and installation-work, confrontational radio broadcasts, physically demanding performances, ‘abreaction plays’ and ‘psycho-physical tests and trainings.’The work created under the name 5chimpfluch deals with therapeutic and analytical actions and reactions of the psyche, the body, and of senses and realities (of both the performers and the audiences), in a radical, critical but also liberating way - an attack on the mind as well as a stimulation of the senses. 

Rudolf Eb.er’s rites and artefacts are portals to the traumatic expanses and abysses of human existence. Regarded as psychopomp or art-brut shamanist, his trail of work leads deep down to - and through - the nethermost regions of the human psyche. Rudolf Eb.er’s research de-occults the psychic body through psycho-physical tests and trainings. He employs and combines abreactive and cleansing actionism with sonic rituals, psychoactive acoustics and close-up fieldrecordings of nature and decay, generating audio-environments into which he plants grotesque psycho-magic rituals and tantric exercises that trigger a nondual, higher awareness. 

Rudolf Eb.er aka Runzelstirn & Gurgelstøck founded the Schimpfluch extreme and outsider artist collective in Zürich in 1987. Schimpfluch exponents are highly regarded for their unique and obscure aural and visual work; their confrontational, physically demanding performances and shock treatments remove the boundaries of the body and open up accesses to the collective unconscious.

Eb.er, born 1967 in Zürich, Switzerland, is currently based in Osaka, working as painter, de/composer and psycho-spiritual researcher.

dave phillips is an activist using sound as a language, creating sonic rituals that address and oppose the restriction and reduction of life and living, regularly touching on existentialist topics, animal rights, human rights and environmental awareness, resulting in a unique and often cathartic sound world that activates primordial shared emotions and rings in the era of humanimal. dp re/searches and ponders existences and behaviourisms humanimalistically via audio de/construction, psycho-acoustics, sonic rituals; sound as communication in direct and primal form, a tool of metaphysics, a conscience, an unrestrained language. sound as a means to activate primordial shared emotions otherwise hidden by civilised experience. dp's work engages, invites rumination, endorses sentient and environmental e/quality and encourages intervention and action; therapeutical stimulation is acknowledged. a form of release is evoked, a liberating cleansing, a sound catharsis that opposes the omnipresent reduction of existence, that puts us in touch with our sentient origins as well as with the realities of our times. dp rings in the era of humanimal..

dp has been sonically active for over 30 years, has appeared on more than 190 releases and has played around 500 concerts in 40 countries.

dp was born in 1969 in Zug, and lives in Zürich

Joke Lanz is one of the most prolific and profound artists working in the border zones where performance and body art meet Improvisation and Noise. Lanz creates a unique blend of physical sound poetry and epileptic noise bursts, using contact microphones, loops, tapes etc. The result is an extreme form of musique concrète that juxtaposes spasmodic gibbering with a battery of disorienting electronics. Since 1985 involved with a broad variety of musical projects, such as: Jaywalker, Sudden Infant, Schimpfluch-Gruppe, Psychic Rally, Vehikel & Gefäss, Catholic Boys in Heavy Leather, WAL, and Tell. 

Innumerable releases on international labels, including Schimpfluch, Tochnit Aleph, Blossoming Noise, RRR, Entr’acte, Artware, Klanggalerie, PAN, SSSM, iDEAL Recordings, Harbinger Sound, and Nihilist Records. Festival performances and tours in: USA, Japan, Taiwan, Hong Kong, South Africa, Israel and all over Europe.Born 1965 in Basel, Switzerland. Currently based in Berlin.

Loren Chasse-
I have recorded/performed internationally as a solo artist (under my own name and the moniker Of) and also collaboratively with Keith Evans and the groups idBattery, Thuja, The Blithe Sons, The Child Readers, and Coelacanth beginning in San Francisco in the mid 90s. After a few years of doing projects about 'listening and field recording' with children in the Bay Area and London, I became a full-time elementary school teacher. Currently I live in Portland, OR, teaching at an environmental science school and continuing to record and perform.
Some recent releases are 'Characters at the Water Margin' (on the Belgian label Unfathomless), featuring recordings of driftwood, sand, stones, wind and water from Washington's Olympic Coast, 'The Animals and Their Shadows' (on the Russian label Semperflorens) and 'The Sodden Floor' (on Portland label Notice Recordings).
“Performances are my means for exploring the individual experience of the listener. At the same time, I investigate ways in which ‘fields’ are affected as they are recorded. I use numerous strategies for recording, playback and re-recording within the duration of the live event to evolve a sort of ‘composition.’ 

Suki O’Kane is a classically trained mallet percussionist, a composer and an instigator working with artists from a wide array of of music, movement and public art genres. One of the founding members of the lo-fi sampling ensemble The Noodles (with Michael Zelner), plays percussion with Moe! Staiano’s Moe!kestra!, Dan Plonsey’s Daniel Popsicle, Big City Orchestra and is an ensemble member of Thingamajigs performing new works by Edward Schocker, Dylan Bolles and Zachary Watkins.
Suki has performed live and recorded with She Mob and the side projects of its co-founder Sue Hutchinson: mad folk duo Junior Showmanship and it’s alter-ego speed metal Winner’s Bitch. She has performed in realizations of Jon Brumit’s Vendetta Retreat, and with Lucio Menegon in his Split Lip, Soundtrack Instumentals and Strangelet projects. Her long-running conversation about intermedia with Sarah Lockhart is occasionally expressed in drumkit duo and percussion trio performances of SL Morse. She works in partnership with House of Zoka, a live recording project that has documented over 13 years of creative new music in the Bay Area, and since 2003 has been curating performances of live music and film, such as The Illuminated Corridor, a nomadic public art project that creates streetscapes of live experimental music and performative projection and Music by the Eyeful, the indoor performance series exploring the work of intermedia artists. She has collaborated with Neighborhood Public Radio to present NOVA, a culminating event of NPR’s exhibition American Life at the 2008 Whitney Biennial, and with the Overdub Club, an ensemble made of performative filmmakers Alfonso Alvarez, Thad Povey, and musician Lucio Menegon.

New York sound artist and composer, Andrea Williams, utilizes site-specific elements and perceptual cues to reveal the unseen connections between people and their environment. Her compositions make use of field recordings, instruments, computer technologies and the sound of the performance space itself. She has led soundwalks in New York City and the San Francisco Bay Area, and has shown and performed both solo and with various musicians and artists at galleries and alternative spaces internationally, such as the Whitney Museum, Eyebeam Art+Technology Center, Observatori Festival, Children’s Creativity Museum, NPR, Miami Art Fair, and the Mamori sound artist residency in the Amazon rainforest. She is a board member of the American Society for Acoustic Ecology, a Co-Director at-large of 23five, Inc., but she is currently mostly buried in her studies at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in NY for her Ph.D. in Electronic Arts.
