Alicia Byer is a composer, improviser, bassoonist and clarinetist based in the Bay Area. Her inspirations include nature, culture, and everything in-between. Her teachers have included Cecil Taylor, Meredith Monk, Fred Frith and Beth Custer. Her favorite color is orange.

Cheryl E. Leonard is a composer, performer, improviser and instrument builder. Leonard�s works explore subtle textures and intricacies of sounds, and often involve playing found natural materials as instruments. She also enjoys collaborating across artistic disciplines and creating site-specific compositions and instrument/sculptures. Cheryl has been awarded grants from ASCAP, American Composers Forum, and Meet the Composer, and residencies at the Djerassi Program, Villa Montalvo, and Oberpfalzer Kunsterhaus. Her works have been featured on KQED TV's Spark, CBS's Evening Magazine, and in Tim Perkis's documentary film Noisy People. Cheryl is currently developing works inspired by the Oakland Estuary in collaboration with visual artist Rebecca Haseltine, and preparing to make music in Antarctica this fall on a grant from the National Science Foundation's Artists and Writers Program. http://www.allwaysnorth.com

Felix Macnee comes from a long line of artists and musicians, all of whom annoyed their families with constant tapping, humming, and doodling. He has been playing drums for a little while now, and he thanks his godfather, jazz drummer Myron Cohen, for all those lessons. Felix is also an accomplished visual artist. http://www.felixmacnee.com

Cliff Neighbors has been making underground experimental and electronic music and sound design since 1981. Much of the work publicly attributed to him was actually done by someone else. Work that he did perform was often credited to other people, or not at all. He claims to have recorded, produced and performed various forms of sound art for radio, theater, film, dance, gallery and literary events, parties, pranks, and demolitions. Past affiliations include Mad Scientists, Deathranch, Big City Orchestra, Crawling With Tarts, Ham On Rye, Moving and Storage/Crash Burn and Die, The Haters, Peoplehater and Edgar Winter's White Trash.


Cost : $6-10
