Xo Xinh
"Xo Xinh (b. 1978) is a Vietnamese composer living in South Bay Area, California. Xinh moved to the US in 1999 to pursue a degree in Computer Information Technology, and has since been active as a composer, improviser, music educator and electronic musician. Most of his works aim to re-contextualize the essence of traditional instruments through spectral processing and interactive manipulation of the acoustic sound by the computer, as well as to explore the transformation of traditional music through the contemporary and experimental medium. His main interest and passion is to experiment the new sounds and new techniques that are able to merge the old with the new, the tradition with the contemporary, while mending the gap between them sonically and musically.
Xinh's compositions have been selected to be performed in the U.S., Canada, Argentina, New Zealand, Australia, Ireland, Italy, France and Netherlands including Sonorities Festival of Contemporary Music, Australasian Computer Music Conference's Sonic Art concert, Electronic Music Midwest Festival, PNEM Sound Art Festival.

I am a senior studying at Texas A&M University in College Station, TX. I am pursuing medicine, but have also been engaged in music as a minor. I see music as a passion and more than just something I do for entertainment. Since childhood growing up in Houston, I have been exposed to diverse forms of music, especially since I have had the influence of an Indian culture as well as the American culture. In the future I plan on finding new ways to combine different styles of music and create new sounds and styles that have not yet been tried before.

Lost In Heat - The Swell Season 4
Daniel Bartos
"Daniel holds a position as a sound resident at The Edge in Brisbane (Art, technology & enterprise institute by Queensland State Library) at the moment. Daniel completed course in Music Technology in London (1999). This was later followed by bachelor thesis Virtual Music Instruments and synthesizer programming inspired by Perry Cook (University of Southern Bohemia, 2002). At this time didjeridoo came in as a physical alternative to the world of electronic circuits. His stay in Australia later on gave him enough material to complete master thesis called Shamanic Disco / From Yidaki to Didjeridoo (Charles University, 2009). Currently he is a PhD student at FAMU (Film and Televison Faculty of Performing Arts in Prague). Since his first encounter with the Australian didjeridoo, Daniel is treating this traditional wind instrument from North-East Arnhemland as a breath-controlled synthesizer. His gradual interest evolved into five months private research trip to Arnhem Land (Northern Territory), Australia in 2006. Only than he realized that its authentic version called 'yidaki' is inspiring advanced music instrument. “Although the didjeridoo is very simple music instrument (it's usually made of hollowed out trunk of a tree), didjeridoo becomes practically infinite platform for experimenting with various sound- scapes and rhythmical patterns. Use of voice, trumpet hoots and pronounced rhythms along with beatbox-like techniques and various signal processing techniques creates style of organic electronica"" – as Daniel recalls the resulting music himself.

Matt Fidler
Matt Fidler is a musician, audio engineer, and radio producer working in public radio in New York City. Raised on traditional classical music as well as classic rock and blues, Matt learned to embrace technology as a way to transform every day sounds into music while he was studying recording arts at California State University, Chico. There, he realized, the only thing that differentiates music from noise is the brain. This is how Matt regained his sanity after working in a noisy and distracting environment in his “home studio” in the loud neighborhood of Hell’s Kitchen.

Nicolas Marty
Nicolas Marty is a PhD student at the Université Paris-Sorbonne, where he studies the listening and cognition of acousmatic music(s) in their relation with the experiencing of time by listeners. He aims to develop (at some point) a pedagogy for listening to acousmatic music that would be centered around the listener and would not need any practice or technical aspects for him/her. This research takes place in the line of his master's work about a 'natural' narratology for music, studied around Trevor Wishart's Journey into Space, and published and/or presented at conferences since. All of his research draw from his learnings as a psychology student. This interest for perception comes from his practice as a young composer. Having finished his Computer Assisted Composition studies in 2010 at the conservatory of Bordeaux where he also attended Jean-Yves Bosseur's instrumental composition workshops, he currently follows Jean-Louis Agobet's instrumental composition courses and Christophe Havel & François Dumeaux' electroacoustic composition courses. The Observatoire Musical Français granted him a 'Terrain Formation' distinction for his first publication "Vers une narratologie 'naturelle' de la musique", and he obtained the professional jury prize at theMusiques en Courts 2012 competition for his piece for piano with real-time preparation, illustrating the short movie “Corridor". He will be junior lecturer in computer music during the 2013-2014 spring semester at the Université Bordeaux III. His instrumental aesthetic is turned towards an extended, spatial temporality, in/on which sometimes intervene dynamic gestures conceived as transcendantal objects (ex. Personnes alitées, for piano) and/or plays with matter conceived as immanent (ex. Au bois d'or ment, for amplified string trio). He will try and play with physical spae and a kind of nearly aleatoric manifestations (autonomous transcendantal units) in his next piece (J'ai donné ton nom à une pierre et tu verras la fin du monde.). His acousmatic aesthetic is also turned towards a contemplative temporality, always showing an ecological conception of acousmatic space, with a more or less evident referentiality, going from post-modernism (Death Note, Sephiroth) to a minimalistic starkness (Otōto), which he will try to reconcile with plays with matter in a space-form for his next piece (Les yeux sous l'eau).

A. P. Vague
This pieces uses an algorithm derived from a 7-segment display similar to those found in digital clocks and timers. Using the Pure Data programming environment, I implemented the algorithm to alter audio rather than the segments in a numeral. The Pure Data patch utilizes a cascading set of switches, starting with those that trigger every 10 milliseconds, and including elements that trigger every 100, 1,000, and 10,000 milliseconds. The timers used in this piece generate tones and percussive sounds, as well as wave shaping manipulations and volume alterations. The patch could theoretically run forever, and the patterns created by this method of timing could be used to tell time if a listener were to learn to identify each change in audio. This is part of a series of Pure Data patches that I’ve been developing as a method for exploring language in its basic, uncoded form. With this work I use timers, cyphers, and alphanumeric symbols in a way that disconnects them from their readable contexts, creating a spectrum of foreign digital information. My process with design and video is similarly engaged with language as a coded source of information. By mixing components such as audio and text or video and real-time processing, my work embraces encryption and the noise created in real-time systems. Other examples of my work can be found at: apvague.wordpress.com

Arnold Brooks
Arnold Brooks is and artist and musician. His sound work takes as its starting point the treasure trove of possible field recordings in New York City. A major component of his audio work is using a simple hack to transpose entire sound files into a single static two-dimensional visual image, which is then altered using image-based software. In other words he can draw, type, apply gradients, and uses other layers of static transposed sound to mash up the two sounds into one sound.

J Sohn
The goal is something like a live performance while still playing all the parts, on all the instruments myself. This creates a writing environment I think of as time traveling improvised performance. The melody and lead part is played on a Zarod (pronounced Zar-Ode), a type of fretless electric guitar descended from the Indian Sarod which we designed and build at Music Inn World Instruments. This instrument lets the player bridge the sound of eastern music, classical strings and modern electrified western guitar. The vocal slides and harmonics of the instrument are its strengths and are the reason I have adopted it as an integral part of my musical voice.

Patrick Pham
I am currently a student at Santa Clara University majoring in Business. I have always been fascinated by cinema soundtracks, especially explosive surround tracks. With the advent of lossless codecs, I wanted to challenge myself to create a piece that captured every space within the listener’s zone. The theme is set in space and something goes horribly awry…

Jamez Dean
Jamez Dean, born in Belgium and based in Switzerland, is an experimental composer and conceptual visual artist. Starting with experimental music at the age of 15, the focus changed to visual art while doing a bachelor in photography. Due to some contacts made by music photography, he collaborated musically in some side projects in other genres of music (techno, metalcore, industrial, drum&bass,…). The interest in experimental music started again by a class on sound art while doing a master in 3D multimedia. After that a huge amount of time was spent on self-study in composition and electronics. And the focus was put on experimental music & visual arts and its combination.
