Cinematic electroacoustic music. Dutch duo Wrikken performs a live
soundtrack to Maya Deren's film Ritual In Transfigured Time.

Wrikken is a Dutch duo making cinematic electronic music with jazz and
techno influences. Members Ivo Bol and Joris van Perlo have been making
music together for 20 years. They have played various instruments in
different avant-garde bands in Amsterdam and Groningen. Wrikken has
made music for theatre, danceperformances, filmmakers and ensembles.
Wrikken will perform a live score to Maya Deren's film Ritual In
Transfigured Time
(1945-46). http://www.ivobol.nl/wrikken.html

Ivo Bol is a composer and sound artist from Amsterdam. He studied at
the Institute of Sonology at the Netherlands Royal Conservatory in Den
Haag. He regularly performs throughout The Netherlands in venues such
as Kraakgeluiden and the Paradiso. Ivo Bol has composed music for New
York based choreographer Luis Lara Malvacias, for works that were shown
in Danspace/St. Marks Church and at the Dance Theatre Workshop. Gia
Kourlas of the New York Times described his work with Malvacias as
"meticulously put together and utterly endearing."

Since the 1970's, Daniel Carter has been infiltrating and subverting
every form of music operating on the grassroots level in New York City.
Daniel has played a major part in transforming the isolated,
competitive musicians of New York into the beginnings of a community.
With his many performing ensembles and his Writer's Militia, a
citizen's think tank for social change, he is transcending his role as
a "jazz musician" to become a social prophet. Watch for his recordings
with Other Dimensions in Music (featuring Rashid Bakr, William Parker,
and Roy Campbell in addition to Daniel), Resonance (which also features
Sabir Mateen), and Test which are either in stores or coming soon. Over
the past three decades-plus, Daniel Carter has performed with: Sun Ra,
Billy Bang, Roger Baird, William Parker, Roy Campbell, Sabir Mateen,
Simone Forti, Joan Miller, Thurston Moore, Nayo Takasaki, Earl Freeman,
Dewey Johnson, Nami Yamamoto, Matthew Shipp, Wilber Morris, Denis
Charles, MMW (Medeski, Martin, & Wood), Vernon Reid, Raphé Malik, Sam
Rivers, Sunny Murray, Hamiet Bluiett, Cecil Taylor, David S. Ware, Karl
Berger, Don Pate, Gunter Hampel, Alan Silva, Susie Ibarra, D.J. Logic,
Margaret Beals, Douglas Elliot, Butch Morris, TEST, OTHER DIMENSIONS IN
MUSIC, ONE WORLD ENSEMBLE, SATURNALIA STRING TRIO, LEVITATION UNIT, WET
PAINT, THE TRANSCENDENTALISTS, and many many many many others.

Frank Schültge "Blumm"
was born in 1968 in Bremen and lives in Berlin now where he is working as a musician and a producer for radioplays. He has previously released albums with Cologne's Staubgold, Tomlab, and Berlin's Morr Music and with Lichten presents his first stateside release. Besides his contributions to the Sack & Blumm project (together with Harald "Sack" Ziegler) he is involved in the production of radioplays with Rininat Rebresch ("Rebresch & Blumm") and with an instrumental chamber-postrock trio from Berlin called KINN. Though his music often finds a welcome ear with adventurous electronic listeners his songs are spun entirely with live instruments in real-time. The sound is naturalistic and free in a way that often leaves people hard pressed to find modern comparisons.

Missy Mazzoli is active as a composer, pianist, improviser and
electronic musician. This year her works were performed by the
Minnesota Orchestra, Newspeak, NOW Ensemble, and Present Music, among
others. She recently performed live at the Gaudeamus festival in
Amsterdam with her electro-acoustic band Hills Not Skyscrapers, and was
a featured composer at Merkin Hall as part of the ZOOM: Ear Department
series. She teaches composition at Yale University and is a co-founder
of Free Speech Zone Productions. http://www.missymazzoli.com
