Amy X Nueburg has been developing her own brand of irreverently genre-crossing works for voice, live electronics and chamber ensembles for over 25 years, known for her innovative use of live looping technology with electronic percussion, her 4-octave vocal range and her colorful — often humorous — lyrics.
"Neuburg wields a phenomenal voice in which one gleans hints of the dominant art singers of our day: Meredith Monk, Björk, Kate Bush’s passion, Laurie Anderson’s intimate brilliance… with a vocal potency that recalls Diamanda Galas… As poised as she is powerful." — Alan Lockwood, New York Press
Thea Farhadian is an interdisciplinary artist and performer based in the San Francisco Bay Area and Berlin. Her projects include solo violin and interactive electronics, improvisation, laptop performance, sound art, and video.
