About the Performers:

Courtney Brown
Courtney Brown has long harbored aspirations of becoming an Edward Gorey heroine, but her attempts have thus far been foiled. In lieu of her unlikely but tragic demise, she makes strange dark music and fiddles with electronics.

Carmen Caruso
Carmen Caruso is an experimental composer and a riotous vocalist who has been known to shriek, moan, grunt, and almost become possessed during performance. She creates sonic collages using electronics and her voice, and continues to probe the grey area between pop and computer music. She is currently debuting her piece, Roots, which uses her voice to create a virtual world within her voice. These compositions also incorporate her self-created instrument, affectionately dubbed “the Carmenizor,” a small electronic box that can transform her voice into its own orchestra.
