People Making Sounds is a project co-organized by Weston Olencki & Charlie Sdraulig. We present experimental sound art, conceptual music, & iterations of expanded sonic practice. Performances feature, but are not limited to, instruments, objects, gestures, tapes, & videos.
Weston Olencki is a San Francisco-based trombonist specializing in the performance and production of new music. His work is primarily concerned with hyper-extended instrumental technique, intensive performer-composer collaboration, de-specialization of the performing body, noise, and alternative concepts of physicality within performance practice.
Charlie Sdraulig is a composer/performer from Australia. His music explores interaction that examines the roles of physicality and perception in human performance—often at the threshold of audibility. The inherent ambiguity of this context may allow a particular expression of human individuality to emerge.
