Ka Baird uses extended voice and microphone techniques along with electronics, feedback, field recordings, and traditional instrumentation to explore the outer dimensions of sound through performance. They create a present-tense sound with a vigorous, ritualistic delivery that seeks extreme release through physical exertion and psychic extension.

Audrey Chen’s work explores the combination and layering of an analog synthesizer, preparations, and traditional and extended techniques in both the voice and cello. She works to join these elements into a singular ecstatic personal language.

Li-Chin Li is a sheng performer and composer. Formerly a member of the Hong Kong Chinese Orchestra, a leading exponent of contemporary Chinese music, Li-chin's work now focuses on integrating the sheng with performing arts, including electronics and visual media.
