Nava Dukelman is a percussionist born and raised in Japan, performing classical, contemporary, ethnic fusion, Japanese taiko and uchiwadaiko and Indonesian gamelan, among other musical genres. She studied percussion under Eugene Novotney at Humboldt State University prior attending Mills College in 2011 with major in Music Performance, studying percussion with William Winant.
April-Jeanie Tang was born in Hong Kong. Formerly majoring in behavioral science, she later begin studying cross-modal synesthetic compositions. Growing up in Hong Kong influenced her to gravitate to sounds of industrial constructions and airplane engines. Her compositions in noise and timbre focuses on ways of transitioning from different ends of opposing sounds. She is currently a student of Electronic Composition at Mills College with focus in hardware electronics.
Tiny Owl is a San Francisco Bay Area quartet that improvises unique combinations of krautrock, space music, industrial, and experimental music.

Kadet Kuhne is a media artist whose work spans the audiovisual spectrum. With the goal of forming somatic experiences which can prompt visceral responses to sound and movement, Kadet openly exposes the use of technology in her practice by employing fragmented, jump-cut edits and amplifying evidence of sonic detritus. This glitch aesthetic, contrasted with layered ambient reflection, is intended to heighten tensions between motion and stasis: a balanced yet heightened "nervous system" to reflect our own. Trained in jazz guitar in her youth, Kadet became attached to the instinctive nature of improvisation which led her to the California Institute of the Arts where she studied Composition and Integrated Media. As an award-winning filmmaker she has numerous shorts that have screened worldwide including Infinite Delay, which premiered at the Sundance Film Festival. Her installations involve a combination of motion sensors, customized software and online virtual space exploring themes of communication and control. Kadet's compositions twist signal processing, FM synthesis and neurological impulses into experimental electronic ambiences that make your cilia vibrate in curious patterns.
