About the performers:

MV Carbon is a Brooklyn based inter-disciplinary artist, and musician Her work encompasses live performance, sound, video, film, sculpture, recorded music, and multi-media installation. She gathers field recordings and uses them to re-create sonic environments. She also creates sound with hand built instruments, electric cello, amplified objects, circuits, synthesizers, reel to reel tape machines, and voice. Her work explores interchangeability, electronic intelligence, the human mechanism, perceptive states of consciousness, and the empirical force of nature. She is interested in the psychological effect of sound and works to heighten our potential for “hearing” through spatial, psychic, and temporal based explorations.

Carbon is currently part of music ensembles HEVM, and Metalux. Past collaborations include Aki Onda, Azita Youssefi, C. Spencer Yeh, Charlemagne Palestine, Evan Parker, Lesley Flanigan, Maria Chavez, Mario Diaz de Leon, Okkyung Lee, Richard Garet, Shelley Hirsch, Tony Conrad, Tristan Perich Wolf Eyes, and Zach Layton. She co-founded West Nile, a DIY performance space in Brooklyn from 2006-2012, which hosted sound artists spanning the world. She has done residencies at Q-02 (BR), EMS (SE), Issue Project Room (NY), The Clocktower Gallery (NY), and Roulette, (NY). She has composed work for The String Orchestra of Brooklyn.

Lisa Miralia has been a promoter and performer in the NE Ohio freeform and experimental sound communities since 2003. She composes for and performs in a number of projects both solo (as Baat) and in collaboration with others involving electro-acoustic improv, experimental electronics, noise, drone, and dark ambient sound, and has released several recordings and contributed to multiple collaboration and compilation releases. She will celebrate her 7th anniversary of hosting the Mysterious Black Box radio show on WCSB 89.3fm this year, and was featured in the City/Ruins documentary about the NE Ohio noise and industrial music scenes. Lisa lives in Lakewood, and is grateful for open-minded neighbors who don’t mind the strange musical and anti-musical sounds emanating from her abode.

Robert Turman is an experimental/noise musician who was originally based in San Diego, and now resides in Oberlin, Ohio. He first rose to prominence as part of NON, collaborating with Boyd Rice on the classic 1977 single ‘Mode of Infection’/’Knife Ladder’, before leaving to pursue his own more expansive solo vision.

Unquiet Slumbers is a collaboration between Nathan Leaflight (Shred Van Winkle) and Brian Werstler (Young Herkimer, Abgyhr). Every show is entirely improvised and usually has a guest musician.
