Brett Sroka

Brett Sroka is a composer, musician and sound artist for film, dance, installation and has released five records with his electro-acoustic jazz trio Ergo, and melodronoise duo Cherubim. His first record, Hearsay (from Fresh Sound - New Talent Records) featured then newcomers Jason Moran, Avishai Cohen and Eric Harland, but being a trombonist in jazz engendered an outsider's perspective on the idiom, inspiring Sroka to begin exploring electronic music as well. His process has subsequently been an effort to reconcile these disparate fields: to develop an organic, improvisational approach to computer instruments, and to seek out dynamic, technological possibilities in music. In early 2014, at Roulette Intermedium in Brooklyn, Sroka premiered Sine Qua Non, a generative sound installation that grows out of a live improvisation

Clark Gayton was born in Seattle, Washington, January 18th, 1963

Glen David Andrews

Growing up in the historic Treme "Trah-May" neighborhood of New Orleans, Andrews was immersed in the local musical culture from childhood. One of the first African American neighborhoods in America, the Faubourg Treme or "Sixth Ward" was the site of the significant cultural, social, and musical achievements that literally shaped the course of events in Black America for the past two centuries. Musical legends like George Lewis, Jimmy Noone, Alphonse Picou, and Freddie and Louis Keppard once walked the neighborhood's streets, played in it's clubs, and jammed on it's stoops, as do many of today's young lions such as Kermit Ruffins, Nicholas Payton, Shannon Powell, and Glen David Andrews. A young and tremendously talented trombonist and vocalist, Andrews possesses the pedigree to carry the famed New Orleans musical torch into the 21st century
