About the Artists
WESTON OLENCKI is an artist and musician from South Carolina, living now in Berlin. Their projects position musical instruments as sites of cultural inscription, working fluidly between experimental sound, traditional musics, and their various space/time(s). https://www.westonolencki.com/
Their solo discography includes Verd Mont (SUPERPANG, 2021), Old Time Music (Tripticks Tapes, 2022), pearls ground down to powder (Full Spectrum, 2024), I went to the dance (Longform Editions, 2024) and Broadsides (Outside Time, 2025), with other recording projects released by PAGANS, Dinzu Artefacts, Lobby Art, Astral Spirits, Out of Your Head, Sound American, HatHut, and Astral Spirits. They are an active member of RAGE THORMBONES and APPARAT, and perform in many contexts on low brass instruments, winds, banjo, and electronics.
WEBB CRAWFORD is a guitarist, tenor banjoist, and instrument-builder working within free improvisation, new music, and electro-acoustic music. As a builder and performer, they focus on modern reconstructions and re-contextualizations of historical stringed instruments. As a guitarist and banjoist they have developed a percussive approach to both instruments and draw influence from Piedmont-style fingerpicking, “chicken-picking”, permutations, and the chop-and-screw nature of harsh noise. They have worked with Chris Corsano, Trevor Dunn, Jessica Pavone and others, including ongoing projects with Michael Foster, Chuck Roth, Zosha Warpeha, Jack Langdon and Sean Ali. Their solo record “Joiners” was released to acclaim on TripTicks Tapes in 2022. https://www.webbcrawford.com/
VICTORIA CHEAH is a composer whose work concerns boundaries, transitions, sustained effort, and intimacies within social-performance rituals. Her work has been commissioned and/or featured by ensembles and presenters including Talujon, Either/Or, Non-Event, Switch Ensemble, Line Upon Line, Han Chen, andPlay, Yarn/Wire, Wavefield Ensemble, MATA Festival, Guerilla Opera, Ensemble Dal Niente, Vertixe Sonora, Marilyn Nonken, PRISM Quartet, and performed by others. Recordings of their music can be found on Dinzu Artefacts, New Focus Recordings, and XAS Records. Cheah currently serves as Assistant Professor at Berklee College of Music and Boston Conservatory, as well as Director of Production of Talea Ensemble. https://victoriacheah.com/
