About the artists
SEAN MEEHAN is a drummer who most notably plays a pared-down kit often consisting of a single snare drum and cymbal, creating sounds that range from the subtle friction of a fork rubbing against a drum to tones that seem electronically-generated. These complex, sometimes subtle sonorities require a great deal of concentration for the performer and listener, foregrounding the act of listening just as much as the production of sound, and bringing the audience’s attention to both spatial acoustics and social interactions within a space.
GREG KELLEY (trumpet) has performed throughout North America, Europe, Japan, Argentina and Mexico at numerous festivals, in clubs, outdoors, in living rooms, in a bank, and at least once on a vibrating floor. He has collaborated with a number of musicians across the globe performing experimental music, free jazz and noise, appearing on over 100 recordings in the process. He constantly seeks to push the boundaries of the trumpet and of “music.”
VIC RAWLINGS is a musician, instrument builder, sound installation artist, filmmaker, and teacher based in western Massachusetts. He has performed and taught across North America and Europe. He uses instruments of his own design: an amplified/extensively prepared cello and a highly unstable electronic instrument with an array of exposed speaker elements. He collaborates with a broad range of artists and is the co-director of the film Linefork, a documentary about the unheralded banjo legend Lee Sexton. In 2022, Vic had a life-altering stroke and continues to adapt and refine his instruments and approach.
ZOSHA WARPEHA is a Brooklyn-based composer-performer working in a meditative space at the intersection of contemporary improvisation and folk traditions. Using bowed stringed instruments alongside her own voice, her long-form compositions and freely improvised performances explore transformations of time and tonality. She performs primarily on Hardanger d’amore, a sympathetic-stringed relative of the Norwegian Hardanger fiddle, and her current work is heavily informed by the cyclical forms, rhythmic elasticity, and the physical momentum of Nordic folk music.
