Richard Garet

Richard Garet interweaves multiple media including moving image, sound, live performances, and photography. He is interested in the phenomena found and produced in time-based media, and human beings' relationship with both artificial and natural environments. His audiovisual exploratory steps are focused on concept and function, material and process, listening, viewing, and experience. He is also interested in the vast landscape of noise that surrounds him, and how these noises establish the background-sonic-field that he experiences on a daily basis; consciously or unconsciously. He has exhibited and performed in many countries and his sound compositions have been published through various labels.

Charles Curtis

Acknowledged internationally as a cello performer of new and experimental music, Charles Curtis has been closely associated for over fifteen years with the legendary avant-garde composer La Monte Young as director of Young's Theatre of Eternal Music String Ensemble. As an outgrowth of his intensive presence in the New York avant-garde rock scene, Curtis has evolved into a creative artist straddling the boundaries between art rock, sound art and minimalist composition. He has toured intensively as a soloist and he has led larger ensembles in concerts mixing his own works with the works of avant-garde composers whom he champions (La Monte Young, Morton Feldman, Alvin Lucier and Éliane Radigue).
