Max Hamel is a craftsperson, musician, artist and instrument maker with diverse practices ranging from professional fine violin luthiery to handmade live electronics. Their performance work builds upon a foundation of circuit bending, feedback, magic, touch and chaos, delighting in subtlety, pliable gesture and flippant ambiguity. Raised in the DC metro area, they recently moved back to Washington, DC from New Haven, CT where they lived since 2019, working as a luthier and performing in basements, bookstores, galleries, warehouses, crypts and libraries throughout the northeast United States. They perform and release solo work under the names Max Hamel, HSFB, and Head Separating from Body, and play in groups including Rear Window (with Zach Rowden and Rex Morris), Cut Nails (with Rex Morris) and Chicken Flag (with Matt Wellins).

Noah Ophoven-Baldwin is a composer, cornetist, and improviser currently living in so-called Minneapolis, Minnesota. His solo work collages field recordings, metronome and cornet. Noah also runs the CD+book label, All Sky.
