Tyler Damon is a drummer, improviser and educator. He currently resides in Chicago, Illinois. In addition to solo work, Tyler’s contemporary outfits include a longtime duo with saxophonist Dave Rempis, as well as a quartet alongside Rempis, Jason Adasiewicz and Joshua Abrams. He is found frequently in duet with tenor saxophonist Gerrit Hatcher, expanded in trio with bassist Andrew Scott Young. Where Were We, a triad completed by Erez Dessel on keys and Beth McDonald on tuba and electronics, was formed in 2023. Tyler is also often seen and heard accompanying guitarist Eli Winter in the company of Sam Wagster on pedal steel. Tyler has earned recognition previously for extended duo exhibitions with guitarist Tashi Dorji. Their trio Kuzu, also featuring Dave Rempis, formed in 2017, leading All About Jazz to insist that their work “is for audacious listeners and it isn’t like anything else.” He has also been recognized for his past work with bassist Darin Gray as Duo Oninbo, the Mars Williams-led Exit Plan (with Brian Sandstrom & Steve Marquette), and Haley Fohr’s chameleonic Circuit Des Yeux, among many others.
Matt Shuff is an artist who resides in Philadelphia. Shuff is the guitarist in Philadelphia's avant rock band Cartoon, the conveyer of cryptic messages in beatnik drone outfit Tykes of the Roundtable, and a painter.
