Andrew Jamieson and Brett Carson are both composers and improvising keyboardists who began playing together at Mills College. Their music features asymmetric juxtapositions of dissonant harmonies, jagged textures and traditional melodic phrases. Their set is dedicated to drummer Robert Lopez, who was scheduled to perform in this show, but is unable to make it due to a family emergency.
Julian Valdivieso is a Colombian composer/performer with an MFA degree from the California institute of the Arts who explores many types of music, with a very strong background in music theory and music history. He specialized in guitar and electronics but is also capable of playing many instruments; such as piano, voice, bass and percussion. He has done a broad and thorough study journey in the fields of experimental music, contemporary classical, jazz, latin-american music, pop and rock.
Lately Julian has been interested in the relationship between music and image, using graphical scores to trigger different kinds of improvised music in relationship to a determined space and time. In addition, Julian has a passion for creating and turning almost any object into a music controller. By using them in a new and unexpected way, he can effectively recontextualize them in new and distinctive musical terms.
