about the artists

Nicholas Chase [www.nicholaschase.net]
was dubbed by LA Weekly as an 'Eye/Ear Explorer,' An Alpert Award Nominee, Chase earned his MFA in Composition/New Media and Integrated Media studying with Morton Subotnick, Bunita Marcus, Stephen L. Mosko and Sara Roberts at CalArts, with additional study of Arabic Classical Music under Ziad Bunni of the Aleppo Conserveratory in Syria. Composing solo, chamber and electro-acoustic works, Nick’s work explores the connection between interactive sound and music, audio and visual relationships and story telling. He will be presenting the first in progress performance of Ngoma Lungundu (Voice That Thunders).

Keith Evans and Dylan Bolles [www.keithevans.org]
are collaborating to create Breath Transit and the Peal of Night, a piece for live cinema and shakuhachi.

Keith is a performative visual artist and musician who creates translation systems, fascination devices, and extra-cinematic experiences that reveal the phenomenon and the idea of cinema as a technological system. Keith hails from the multimedia collective Silt, innovators in multiple film projections, shadow interferences, kinetic sculptural elements, and resonant sound.

Dylan is a composer, performance artist and multi-instrumentalist who makes sound/theatre works, often involving the design and construction of new musical instruments. He is currently a Research Assistant in the UC Davis Humanities Institute developing both a formal and cultural translation of p’ansori, a Korean oral narrative form rooted in ancient Shamanist rituals.
