BOOKER STARDRUM (Brooklyn, NNA Tapes)
bookerstardrum.tumblr.com
Booker Stardrum is a percussionist/improviser/composer based in Brooklyn, NY. Stardrum's solo work began as an experiment to create new compositional ideas in percussive sound, born from his own idiosyncratic performance practice. In November 2015 he released "Dance And." Using synthesizer and extended percussion and recording techniques, "Dance And" exists at the intersection of minimalism, sound collage and percussive virtuosity. Stardrum co-leads, performs and tours with several projects including Cloud Becomes Your Hand, Landlady, VaVatican, and Delicate Steve and has released music on Northern Spy, NNA, Hometapes and Prom Night.

IMA (Oakland)
[ii­ma] 今. 瞬間.
ammaateria.com/ima
The electro­percussion duo of Amma Ateria and Nava Dunkelman explores distortions of time and handling of the ever present moment through restraint and release. Their array of metallic nature march forth with space expanding densities to brinks of breakage, situated to be caressed by the beautification of spaces in between. IMA have performed and collaborated with avant garde pioneers such as John Zorn, Fred Frith, Ikue Mori, and many others. Amma Ateria aka Jeanie Aprille Tang is an audio visual artist + electro­acoustic composer/improviser. Born in Hong Kong, she gravitates to rhythms of construction sites, roaming traffic, inaudible conversations, and airplanes. Her instrument is a collection of electronic hardware and plexiglass. Nava Dunkelman is a percussionist and improviser based in the Bay Area. Born in Tokyo, Japan and raised in a multicultural environment by an American father and Indonesian mother, Nava’s musical interests span the globe from Japanese taiko to Indonesian gamelan to American marching band, as well as performed classical to contemporary to the avant­garde.
