Marc Perez
Marc Perez is quickly emerging as an essential and unique performer-composer & educator in his own right. Marc’s primary instrument is the trombone, and his performance practice focuses on the trombone in all improvisation settings. Much of his compositional work focuses on efficient access to sonic information via non normative music notation as well as an emphasis on musically expressing narratives surrounding BIPOC, such as himself.

Wild Wild Mike
Michael McDowell is a multimedia artist exploring how narrative underlies all ontologies through our collective and personal myth-making.
Fascinated by overlooked moments of the everyday; he arranges fragments of sound, image, voice, and text into fleeting monuments, artifacts, and allegories of yearning and the endless corruptibility and (re)configuration of memory.
He performs and produces music as Wild Wild Mike, using a genre-hopping approach towards an ambient experimental pop that emphasizes the ephemeral qualities of seeking, knowing, and forgetting.

Nicki Chen
Hi I’m Nicki
Music is my homing signal, reaching out to old souls and those ready to look within. This is my way of searching for soulmates.
I’m a violist that uses improvisation to embrace instability and search for forgotten experiences and hidden energy.
I love spontaneous improvisation with people I have never met before. This special energy of familiarity and the myth of a stranger fuels something beautiful and exhilarating with each new experience. Themes of home, community, loneliness, and perseverance also drive my sound but I also acknowledge and enjoy that often people have different ways of relating to my work in a way that would be the most healing or cathartic for them.
I invite the audience to join me in surrendering to the process of peeling back armor to reveal raw emotions without fear of judgment or imperfection.
