ZEYNEP TORAMAN is a composer-performer whose practice-based research explores the ways in which texts (in the broadest sense of this word) can interact with one another within the larger framework of musical compositions and by way of thinking of her own library as an archive and enfolding autobiography, poetry, fiction, and history within her works.

FREEMAN EDWARDS is a composer and guitarist whose work is characterized by quiet, sparse pieces in concise forms. These pieces tend to employ open forms devoid of narrative and structured by their own internal logic, forming a continuous present rather than a linear trajectory. His pitch system combines equal temperament with an unrestricted microtonality, both for approximating the “purer” intervals of just intonation as well as highly dissonant, pulsating pitch relationships reminiscent of the timbral qualities of bells and other instruments with high degrees of inharmonicity.
