Martin Freeman & TJ Borden (NY)
Tyler J. Borden is a cellist working with, in, and around the constraints of the cello. Formerly from Western NY, he is now based in Brooklyn NY, where he spends much of his time finding ways to exploit the strengths and failures of himself and his instrument. T.J. Borden is a multifaceted sound shaper, noise maker, collaborator and community organizer. As an interpreter, he brings his technical brilliance to his cello playing by working closely with composers in solo works and in group formations like the [Switch~ Ensemble] and the Mivos Quartet. As an improviser, he can be found piling into a shitty car with his bandmates and touring across the country to play in broom closet sized venues and sleeping on strangers' floors. As an organizer, he can be seen putting together shows for experimental artists, most notably co-founding High Desert Soundings, a multi-day festival located in the desert of Southern California's Wonder Valley. more info: http://www.tylerjborden.com
Martin Freeman is a singular improviser and builder of instruments from Rochester who works predominantly with unpredictable electronics in performance and installation. He has taught electronics workshops for artists and musicians at the Eastman School of Music, Rhizome DC and Hearding Cats Collective. He recently completed an MFA at UB's Department of Art. more info at: http://mroztronium.blogspot.com
