About the Artists
Eliad Wagner is a musician, composer, performer, and educator whose work explores the intersection of composition and performance in electronic music. He is particularly focused on performance with agential processes, with strong interest in the trans-stylistic vocabulary of electronic music, cosmotechnics and the role of attention and intention in audio culture.
As an artist and performer, Wagner works primarily with the modular synthesizer, in settings that range from Jazz and Noise to electroacoustic music and sound art. In addition to composing solo synthesizer works, he writes for small ensembles and installation contexts, and is a co-founder of and regularly contributing composer to the electro-acoustic ensemble Circuit Training. Notable publications and presentations include Computer Music Journal (MIT Press), Berlin Radio symphony orchestra (RSB), Guggenheim New York, Q-O2 (BE), Steim (NL), HKW Berlin, Worm Rotterdam, Ensemble Phoenix Basel (CH), TU Berlin, UDK Berlin, Aarhus academy of music (DK) amongst others.
Dei Xhrist is a queer performer from Manchester, NH. She has performed for over two decades as a soloist and ensemble player in jazz, ambient, no-wave, and avant garde.
Xhrist uses voice, electronics, and movement to create performances that merge liturgical music with noise. Each performance is improvised. She has performed at several festivals of experimental music, and theater. She organizes XFest MA, an annual meetup of music and movement improvisers for skill and practice development.
