Roy Werner is a Brooklyn based visual artist and composer focusing on sample oriented composition through custom software written in Max/MSP. Often under the moniker G.S. Sultan, his sonic work attempts to force spanning source material into connotative and contextual equivalence via a translation of data into musical structures and cues. Following a similar conceptual arc, Werner’s visual work employs the same software to process and manipulate video samples for multimedia pieces suggesting two sides of the same algorithmically rendered coin. He is performing throughout Europe in support of a new full-length LP, Redundancy Suite (Phinery, August 2016) and has worked recently with other imprints including Orange Milk Records and Mexico-based Umor Rex to release music.
Seth Graham is an Ohio Based artist, composer and co-owner of Orange Milk Records with an academic background in Philosophy. He focuses on compositions which highlight tropes across a broad range of musical genres using midi data, Max MSP and samples. His intention is to manifest intersections of classical avant garde and modern popular music with compositions shaped from light hearted Creshevsky-style sample arrangements to dense digital synthesis. Seth Graham’s work has been published by music imprints such as Noumenal Loom, Experimedia, Orange Milk, Phinery, Los Discos Enfantasmes and Tranquility Tapes.
Maya Dunietz (1981) is a pianist, composer, creator of sculptures, installations and performances, combining singing, instrumentation and recording techniques with digital technologies and a varied array of materials. She merges different art fields into a single malleable mass. Her works are influenced by their spatial context; Dunietz has performed as soloist, composer and ensemble member with Meitar Ensemble, Saar Berger (Ensemble Modern), Bat Kol Choir, Hyperion Ensemble, Solistensemble Kaleidoskop, and others. Her works have been shown in institutions such as Centre Pompidou, Palais de Tokyo, Bemis Center of Contemporary Art, Fondation Cartier, Arnolfini Gallery, Reykjavik Arts Festival and many more.
Tom White is an artist focusing predominantly on sound-based practices such as live performance, installation, recordings, composition for dance and film.

Recent collaborators include Surface Area Dance Theatre, Maya Dunietz, Ben Knight, Renato Grieco and Lia Mazzari.
