About the artists:
Julie Licata is a percussionist/drummer, noisemaker, collaborator, and educator. Her performances range from improvisational soundscapes and works with computer processing, to solo marimba and percussion, chamber ensembles, orchestras, theater pits, Indonesian gamelan and West African drum ensembles. Julie recently accepted the position of Assistant Professor and Director of Percussion at Capital University in Columbus, Ohio. As a performer, Julie focuses on promoting emerging composers and seeking new modes of musical expression with particular emphasis on improvisation and the integration of live analog and digital electronics. She recently released an album, resound/unsound, with co-creators Andris Balins and Brett Masteller; the album features percussive improvisations with time lag accumulation, feedback looping, and modular synthesis. Within this musical realm, Julie has performed at the Society for Electro-Acoustic Music in the US, the International Computer Music Conference, CHIMEFest in Chicago, IL, and numerous new music venues across the US.
