ABOUT THE ARTISTS

Luke Dubois (video)
Composer, programmer, and video artist R. Luke DuBois has done interactive programming and music production work for many artists, most recently Toni Dove, Chris Mann, Elliott Sharp, and Michael Gordon, and was a staff-programming consultant for Engine27 for the 2003 season. He is a co-author of Jitter, a software suite developed by Cycling'74 for real-time manipulation of matrix data. His music with his band, the Freight Elevator Quartet, is available on Caipirinha/Sire and Cycling'74 music.

Todd Reynolds (violin)
Todd Reynolds, composer, conductor, arranger, violinist and electronic musician, is a veteran of the New York City music scene, and a longtime touring and recording member member of Bang On A Can, Steve Reich and Musicians and Yo-Yo Ma’s Silk Road Project . Collaborations run the gamut from Todd Rundgren and Joe Jackson to Kenny Werner and Betty Buckley to Meredith Monk and Scanner. His solo sets on tour opening for Indie sensations, The Books, and his affiliation with and use of the music software phenomenon Ableton Live have opened his unique blend of "classically- improvised-quantum-ambient-electronica" to a new and wider audience.
Jennifer Stock (composer/improviser)
Jennifer Stock is a composer and sound artist living in Brooklyn, NY. Her compositions center on the live processing of sound and image. Recent performances include the IGIGI Yale Composer's Concert at Roulette, UnTapped @ the Tank, and the New West Electronic Arts Festival. She has performed on laptop at Monkeytown, the Knitting Factory, the Chelsea Art Museum, Galapagos, and White Box's New Composers Series. She is the curator of a series called "Sound Art;" combining complimentary composers in genre-defying line-ups. The largest of these "audible adventures" (Steve Smith, Time Out) was a six-hour concert in Washington Square Park.
