Matt Robidoux (San Francisco)

https://www.mattrobidoux.com/

Matt Robidoux is a San Francisco based composer/improviser, educator, and community organizer interested in the convergence of movement and sound, especially with regards to accessibility in contemporary music and the communicative capacities of sonic energy. Their primary instrument is the corn synth — (kinetically operated randomness system \\[k.o.r.n.\\]) a modular system modeled after the Buchla 158, the original synthesizer used at the San Francisco Tape Music Center at the late Mills College. Movement and touch as interpreted from two "ears of corn" sculptures cast in aluminum determine the parameters of pitch, velocity, and duration. This tour is in support of "Music for Aluminum Corn" released June 2023 on Crash Symbols.

Bromp Treb

https://bromptreb.bandcamp.com/

Bromp Treb is the solo noise/music performance and recording project of Los Angeles-based artist Neil Young aka Neil ‘Cloaca’ Young. Since 2002 Bromp Treb has put many recordings in circulation and has performed at fancy-pants arts institutions and schools as well as countless basements, bars, lofts, living rooms, galleries and closets all around North America and Europe. Bromp Treb is onomatopoeia for the rattling windows of a jalopy with a poorly-installed and shorting-out subwoofer. It’s the sputterings of refined dysfunction and eager uncertainty. Bromp Treb is an improvised maze of crooked rhythms and tangled textures made with voice, synthesis, percussion and body. Likely a little bit of physical comedy.
