Myrmyr
Myrmyr is Marielle Jakobsons & Agnes Szelag from Oakland, CA. They first began to perform together in 2004 while pursuing their MFAs at Mills College. Since then they have performed together across the West Coast and in NYC, combining improvisation with creative electronics and experimental song forms. Myrmyr entwines folk, improvised, and electronic music into songs inspired by their common Baltic roots. With the violin and cello as their basis, the duo creates an intimate chamber music atmosphere, augmented by live electronics, sampling, and an arsenal of instruments.

Daniel Malinsky
Daniel is from Brooklyn and performs “feedback music” – music that, depending on the performance, combines microphones, amplifiers, mixers, drums, and other materials, and falls somewhere on the spectrum between the very quiet sounds of EAI and harsh noise. dmalinsky.blogspot.com

Moon Pie
Moon Pie was formed in spring of 2007 in Washington, DC. We are influenced by countless styles of music spanning dozens of centuries and thousands of galaxies. We make music for you that is fun. We make music for you that is experimental. We make music for you that is definitely psychedelic. Get ready everyone, it’s the pop music of the future.

FRACTALE
French experimental electro jazz, featuring two saxes, trumpet, electronics, tuba, and drums-
“Fractale is a new tendance electro-jazz group… offers us to explore sounds never heard before. The instruments are used in an unexpected way where we recognise a strong rock and jazz influence : the baritone saxophone and the tuba are saturated and electrified, then tuned on a computer basis rhythm. Numerous improvisations are added to the verse/chorus structure. Finally, saturated riffs create nerves and spices to simple catchy melodies”
Sounds great to me!

LOST CIVILIZATIONS
Mike Sebastian (tenor sax+saxello, of DCIC), Ted Zook, percussionist Larry Gomez, and special guest Emre Kartari on the drumkit! This should be a very cool and unique performance from these great improvisors and staunch supporters of the improv scene here in DC!

VECTOR TRIO
A Washington DC based project designed to explore freedom and possibility in three voices, contextualized by cultural disharmony. The limitations of a trio are quickly dissolved by their use of looping devices which create infinite possibilities. Their latest direction, which began last summer, mixes industrial noise, extended improvisatory techniques, fractured funk, and film score techniques with a no-holds-barred approach to improvisation.

BULKHEAD COLLAPSE
Bulkhead Collapse melds feedbacking alien chromatic tones with clattering drumbeats. Former members of Caution Curves and Aerosolized Mucus.
