Artists bio
Graham Dunning
Artist, musician and producer using turntables and electronics across experimental music, techno and improv. Most well known for the “Mechanical Techno” live set, also plays in various other collaborations, DJs, and presents an NTS radio show. Graham’s work explores sound as texture, timbre and something tactile, drawing on bedroom production, tinkering and recycling found objects. he also makes visual work, video and installations relating to these themes. Much of the work evolves through experimentation with different processes: considering the methods by which sounds become music; process as a continuum encompassing both improvisational and procedural methods; and testing analogous processes across different media.
Weston Olencki
Weston Olencki is a musician, composer, and sound artist. Their current work is centered around questions of instrumental music and its contexts/constructs, and the technological, material, and cultural histories of rural space/time. Weston has presented work at the Borealis Festival, ISSUE Project Room, REDCAT, Ghent Jazz, the American Academy in Rome, Roulette Intermedium, and the OPTION series, and was awarded the Kranichsteiner Musikpreis from the 2016 Darmstadt Ferienkurse.

Dominic Coles
I am a composer & improviser based in Queens, NYC. My work investigates the interactions of place, personhood, and power as they are articulated in sound, attempting to complicate and intervene in these categories through specific acts of technologically mediated listening.
