Jerry Tabor

Born: March 1, 1966

COMPOSER Jerry Tabor composes electroacoustic and experimental acoustic music, much of which is either within or extending the jazz idiom. Perhaps one of the most enduring aspects of Tabor’s music is his use of open structures that highlight unique performer, instrumental, and computer system characteristics. He believes that by designing structures in which non-intention is unrelenting, the music reveals sound as an authentic extension of whoever is acting within the structure. Such structures often control every nuance of a composition, from the articulation of individual sounds to the unfolding of form through ensemble interaction

Suzana Lașcu

Suzana Lașcu sings her way into a moment, but nevertheless enjoys organizing noise via external sources. Brought up as an improviser, her work is gradually being woven across different genres, from jazz to the experimental, in the realm of acoustic and electronic music alike. In terms of technique, she isn’t exactly fitting the “traditional” expectations, regularly employing extended techniques, spoken word and non-temperate sound production effects. As a performer, poet, composer, her work, mostly chamber in size, strives to address all that permeates culture. Therefore, she has been initiated in the transdisciplinarity of performative practices and would be curios to further explore it through collaboration and research. 15 years were dedicated to her formalized music education in the Netherlands and Romania
