Adam Kendall is a videoist and musician living and working in Brooklyn, NY. He treats video as a medium capable of detailed, structured composition and as a performative medium as dynamic and improvisational as traditional performance arts. Adam regularly performs and screens pieces solo and in various collaborations, organizes the a/v performance series {R}ake, and runs the Video Composition Workshop. He is a software developer and incorporates his own programming in his pieces and performances.

Fyxzis -- Steven Flato and Corey Larkin - raw data, found sound, processing and Richard Kamerman - analog video and cctv devices

Fyxzis is a trio interested primarily in matters of magnification and translation along the malleable overlap between composed and improvised music. Sharing a preference for junked electronics, found on the side of the road and re-appropriated for uses their maker did not intend, and utilising an array of electroacoustic techniques focused around the acts of transforming non-audio data to sound and non-visual data to moving image, the live manipulation of each-other's signals, and the amplification of microscopic details that would normally go unnoticed, they chart a potential sound world from microsound to harsh noise.

DRAW -- Nisi Jacobs and Michael Schumacher
DRAW's compositions form the basis for improvisations involving processed video, algorithmically generated sound and live musicians. Through experimentation and dialogue, they explore in depth the relation between sound and image. Their practice involves a number of strategies, such as coupling specific sound and image sequences, using multi-channel setups for video + sound, role-switching, and exploring notational techniques.
