Michael J. Schumacher is a composer, performer and installation artist based in New York City. Working predominantly with electronic and digital media, he creates sound environments that evolve over long time periods. He imbues these generative, algorithmic structures with an abundance of sonic material, resulting in forms that flow through a wide range of moods, timbral combinations and textural densities.

Schumacher’s sound installations have been heard at Art in General, Apex Art, PS 1, The Kitchen and Sculpture Center in New York City, CCNOA in Brussels, Singuhr Gallery and Tesla in Berlin, the Museum for Applied Arts in Frankfurt , the Museum of Contemporary Art in Lyon, Triskel Arts Center in Cork, Ireland, Transmissions Festival and ESS in Chicago, Tone Deaf Festival in Kingston, Ontario, The Sound Art Museum in Rome, )toon Festival in Haarlem, RADAR in Mexico City and others.

 Daniel Neumann

Daniel Neumann is a sound artist and audio engineer based in Brooklyn. He moved there from Leipzig, Germany in 2008, where he got his degree in media art. In his works, he is using acoustic conditions of specific spaces to develop different aural perspectives. Spatiality, its perception and experience and how an individual locates and orientates itself within an aural environment are a main theme in his studies, performances and compositions.

In Leipzig Neumann co-organized the platform for sound art and electroacoustic music ALULATONSERIEN, which featured concerts, workshops, sound walks, CD releases and a radio show. NYC credits include sound design and music for ATOMIC (2009), directed by Jimena Duca and A-1 sound for the New York City Electroacoustic Music Festival, NYCEMF (2009).

 Jordan Paul

Jordan Topiel Paul (b. 1985) is a musician and sound artist living in Queens, NY. Since his first forays into contemporary music as an improvising percussionist, he has branched out from performance-based work to focus mainly on sound installation. His installations, often assembled from a small supply of austere field recordings, create abstract and non-repetitive sound environments in the spaces they inhabit.

His practice explores electronic sound's potential for extreme musical time scales, improvisation, and collaborative composition. Paul's performance and installation work has been heard and seen in New York City and in other locations around North America. http://jordantpaul.blogspot.com
