https://afjones.bandcamp.com/
A.F. Jones is an undersea acoustician, audio engineer, and operator of Laminal Audio and Marginal Frequency. Recently relocated to Washington from California, he has released a number of recordings including solo compositions and collaborations with the likes of Steve Flato, Nick Lesley, Peter Vincent, Barry Chabala, Derek Rogers, and others. For this concert he will be joined by Mathieu Ruhlmann and Joda Clément.


■ DASHES ■
A sound collaboration between John Brennan and Elisa Ferrari, their performance pays homage to the incidental and ephemeral microtonal exchanges that occur through layering sustained dissonant frequencies, live samples, subtle movements and vocalization of text borrowed from dictionaries, language, and sound manuals. Their improvised performances combine sounds of amplified objects, feedback manipulation, modified percussion, field recordings and voice.


■ JUDITH HAMANN ■

Judith Hamann is an Australian-born cellist currently based between Melbourne and San Diego. Her performance practice stretches across various genres, encompassing elements of improvised, art, experimental, and popular music. Judith has studied contemporary repertoire with many cellists, including Charles Curtis and Séverine Ballon. She is developing a strong practice in improvisation through collaborative projects and performances, both in Australia and internationally, including Hammers Lake (with Carolyn Connors) and Golinski/Hamann/Dunscombe trio. She has worked with artists and ensembles, including Oren Ambarchi, ELISION Ensemble, Ellen Fullman, Graham Lambkin, Jon Rose, Not Yet It's Difficult, Ilan Volkov, and La Monte Young and Marian Zazeela. Judith is a founding member of Golden Fur and one-half of the immersive duo project Cello II (with Anthea Caddy).

She is a champion of new and rarely performed music and immersive approaches to concert presentation and engages with a range of interdisciplinary and experimental projects, including the Amper&nd project (Korea/Australia) and collaborative work with the visual artists Keith Deverell and Sabina Marselli. She has worked with many composers directly in presenting their work, including Natasha Anderson, Richard Barrett, Wojtek Blecharz, David Chisholm, Marco Fusinato, Liza Lim, Anthony Pateras, Timothy McCormack and Tashi Wada.
