The new August Return the Gift curated series at Temescal Arts Center continues with three great sound artists featuring Nathan Corder,
Kevin Corcoran, and Marielle V. Jakobsons.
Nathan Corder:
Nathan Corder is an Oakland-based composer of works for electronics, objects, and arrays of people. Focusing on translational procedures, transduction, and process-based composition, Corder’s music has been performed throughout the U.S. and abroad. His music has been described as both “something in common with the act of sowing seeds, digging, dragging, foraging, and repeating the process” (Toneshift), and “dizzyingly kinetic sonic events that constantly interlock and overlap… extreme computer music” (Noise Not Music).
Kevin Corcoran:
Kevin Corcoran is a San Francisco based percussionist focused on techniques which extend the sonic range of the drum by emphasizing texture, friction, sympathetic vibration, sustained tones, and the use of found objects. He often works in site-specific approaches and augments percussion with various means of amplification and feedback. Performing in the US, Mexico, Europe and East Asia, Kevin is a frequent collaborator working with musicians, dancers, visual artists, and filmmakers.

Marielle V. Jakobsons:
Marielle V. Jakobsons is an award-winning composer and interdisciplinary artist known for creating immersive, transportive soundscapes. Blending lush synthesizers, expressive strings, and ethereal vocals, her music weaves together minimalistic patterns with deep, melodic emotion. Marielle’s performances often invite audiences into a rich, sensory experience—sometimes even transforming sound into light with her own custom-built instruments, like the mesmerizing “Macro-Cymatic Visual Music Instrument.”
