Matthew P. Hopkins is a sound maker based in Melbourne, Australia. Hopkins employs a mixed bag of source material; prepared cassettes, found sounds, feedback, assorted electronics, processed voice, and occasional instrumentation, to produce work characterised by awry ambience, sombre refrains, hissing clunk, and odd atmospheres.
Hopkins has released recordings through Penultimate Press (UK), Vittelli Records (UK), Alberts Basement (AU), Canti Magnetici (IT), and Thalamos (GR).
Matt Krefting is a writer, musician, and DJ based in Holyoke, Massachusetts. His writing has appeared in The Wire, The Huffington Post, Bull Tongue Review, and elsewhere. A member of Son of Earth, The Believers, Idea Fire Company, and Sunburned Hand of the Man, he also creates his own solo music for cassettes. His music has been published by Open Mouth, Kye, and Ultra Eczema, among others.
Sutherland is a Canadian intermedia artist. His aesthetic practice is a hybrid that pivots on the creation of work blurring the borders between poetry, visual art, music and performance art. His texts, objects, videos and installations often investigate the conflicting principles of authority in language, images and sound and have featured in galleries, performances, festivals and solo shows throughout the world. He is a member of SOCAN (The Society of Composers, Authors, and Music Publishers of Canada) and the League of Canadian Poets.
Ulher originally studied in visual arts, an area which still exerts a strong influence on her music. Since moving to Hamburg in 1982 she has been involved in the City’s vibrant free music scenes and developed a highly distinctive musical language of her own. Her work centres on extending the sonic possibilities of the trumpet to explore the shapes, textures and colours found beyond the instrument's open tone, and, more recently, the relationship between sound and silence. She performs solo and with her working ensembles, collaborations with dancers, visual artists, composers and one-time collaborations with musicians from around the world.
Collaborations with Ute Wassermann, Lucio Capece, Gino Robair, Bill Hsu, Leonel Kaplan, Christoph Schiller, Heddy Boubaker, Chris Heenan, Gregory Büttner, Forbes Graham and the Stark Bewölkt Quartet (with Michael Maierhof, Heiner Metzger and Gregory Büttner) amongst others.
Áine O’Dwyer is a harper from Ireland. She has performed widely as a solo artist and in collaboration with Mark Fry and the A-Lords, United Bible studies, Visitant (Trevor Knight, Gyohei Zaitsu, and Alice Maher), and Charlemagne Palestine. Ongoing recording projects and unofficial residencies include the Brunel Tunnel shaft, London and the Franciscan Friary, Limerick city, Ireland.
