Thomas Dimuzio on Buchla synthesizer. Dimuzio's previous outdoor performance at the SFPL Richmond branch froze all passerby in their tracks and resulted in a free online recording, Radiesthesia (2022).
"His work has a narrative, filmic tug... brilliant and rarely less than entertaining.” — Peter Marsh, BBC
