Luciana Rizzo (b. 1990) is a sound artist and musician. Lives and works in Buenos Aires. Studied Composition with Electroacoustic Media at the National University of Quilmes. As a drummer since the age of 16, she found her place in experimentation and improvisation as a language. She has played in various group projects and, concurrently, began developing a solo set based on hybrid drums, samples, and field recordings that move between songs, environments, and improvisations. Lately, she has been dedicated to producing sound documentaries and radio pieces.
Killick has deeply rooted classical technique as a player, but broadens the possibilities in his music by stretching and contracting phrases temporally, conceptually, dynamically, and stylistically. The effect more closely resembles speech patterns and emotionally-drawn architecture than it does conventional Western music. Despite its eclectic nature, the music is surprisingly familiar and accessible to audiences of all ages and levels of musical involvement.
Iriamu is the multi-disciplined art project of Will Hamilton. In his music, Iriamu uses found sounds, everyday noises, synths, percussion, guitars and bass. He melds the “noises” creating sonic soundscapes to express emotions, and tell his story. A modern day Grio.
Majid Araim is an Iraqi-American multi-instrumentalist, composer, educator, curator, visual artist, researcher and a fixture of the Atlanta improvisation and new music communities. Majid‘s prolific work as a composer focuses on resonance and dynamics, experimental approaches, and is oriented towards the natural world. Majid was a recipient of PREMIER Artist Residency at Georgia Tech School of Music for Whispers of Night’s work with geofons, specialized contact mics for use in ground mediums, exploring communication through filtration of our natural environment; and individual artist awards from Fulton County and Creative Capital to produce an new opera. Majid holds degrees in Music Composition and Jazz Studies from Georgia Southern University, and since 2013 has presented over 100 concerts as curator of the Magic Lantern series. In addition to their creative work as a musician, they are a dedicated parent, horticulturist, and animal lover.
