Samara Lubelski (NYC, sometimes Degenfeld, Germany)    Monday 15
Continuation of the on the spot/improvised solo violin’s uptight zipping about with the flurry fingers and the zig zag chase; out for the tension - the soft touch’s lament - bird song buzzing, amplified hums hurling about - caught in the hustle, and taking care of business; implemented with phaser and delays, etc... Wandering into the wavelengths of heady frenzy, ensconced in the sliding of the touch ’n go - to and fro,  Light into dark - dark into light, with Barry Weisblat on visual projections       samaralubelski.com
 
Andrea Pensado (Salem MA, from Argentina, studied Poland)  Tuesday 16

Richard Garet   (New York)     Friday  19 
His approach to working with sound focuses on interacting with the materials' sonic properties as both source and instrument; such materials are amplified EMF emissions, modified audiocassettes, dysfunctional tape players, circuit boards, sonification of light, and computer processing among other explorations and with no particular hierarchy; over the years his work has evolved from laptop playing to a more active hands on type of approach by embracing tactile malleability, and establishing durational concrete methods and less digital playback     www.richardgaret.com        https://richardgaret.bandcamp.com

Tony Martin  (New York)  Thursday 25
The film and video work of Tony Martin - Throughout the 1960's the artist created pure light and combined image projection, and recording technique; these pioneering intermedia compositions were first seen at the San Francisco Tape Music Center and then internationally;
the Howard Wise Gallery in NYC exhibited viewer-activated light sculptures and installations; these used custom mirrors, and various sensors built into the pieces; during subsequent decades these personal systems are fed into film and video pieces, along with electronic and stylus/pad manipulations
