ABOUT THE ARTISTS Ezekiel Honig's emotively warm electronic-acoustic music nestles into a comfortable, shared space between melodic event-driven ambient, muted techno, textural downtempo, and slowmotion house. Using these genres as reference points from which to stray, Honig utilizes everyday objects and spaces amidst processed instruments, tethering to our physical universe while eschewing any concerns of figurative reality. Plastic, metal, wood, and air coalesce with Rhodes, guitar, horns, and piano, creating a sound of contrast and contradiction, pairing inviting, fuzzy chords with clunky and dirty mishaps. Honig finds this sense of balance - of past and future, acoustic and digital, abstraction and concrete immediacy - by grounding himself in the idea that a sound can be a representation of infinite stories, emotions, possibilities, and simultaneously be just a sound to be used in a work of audio. Joshue Ott is a New York-based performer and software designer. Ott is the creator of superDraw, an instrument for live cinematic audiovisual improvisations with which he has performed at venues ranging from Mutek to Carnegie Hall. He also creates apps, including the popular Thicket, 3draw, snowDrift, Pitch Painter with Morton Subotnick, and the Variant series.
