MSHR is the art collective of Birch Cooper and Brenna Murphy. They work at the intersection of digital sculpture, analog circuitry, and ceremonial performance. Their performances revolve around a unique system of light-audio feedback that employs their handmade synthesizers. The duo inserts themselves into the system, shifting sculptural sensors to steer the feedback patterns as they explore the hyper scapes of a transhumanist ceremony.
Max Eilbacher and Duncan Moore are Baltimore-based sound and performance artists. Situated somewhere between abstract acoustic-electric composition, butoh and office power point lectures, their live pieces merge traditions of deep listening avant-garde music with gestural and physical choreography. Moore has recently completed a month-long residency at Otion Front Studio, an avant-garde dance and movement space in New York City. Eilbacher has completed a residency at the INA-GRM and previously studied computer music with the music supervisor of the Cunningham Dance Company. The two strive to invoke a unique atmosphere of sonic and physical expression that challenges and expands the definitions and boundaries of both.
