Anna Johnson is a performer, composer and visual artist who creates experiences at the boundaries of sound, moving image and installation. Her practice centers body and intuition as primary sites of knowledge, in pursuit of newly vulnerable emotional, spiritual, and social realities. Anna’s hypnotic, devotional sonic landscapes are drawn from explorations of voice and electroacoustic instrumentation. With backgrounds in classical, traditional, and religious musics, her sound weaves medieval-influenced vocal melodies, chants, and choral layering with synthesizer atmospheres, heavy drone textures, and forays into experimental pop. She relies on improvisation, with a meandering, fluid sense of embodied time. Anna's performances regularly feature her cinematic projections, which use live cameras and manipulations of light and shadow to render surreal and fantastical environments.
Alma Laprida (born in San Miguel, Argentina) is a multi-disciplinary artist whose creative pursuits encompass composition, improvisation, performance, installation, and radiophonic pieces. Her artistic journey began with formal training in piano at the Julián Aguirre School of Music, followed by studies in Arts Management and Electronic Arts at the Universidad Nacional de Tres de Febrero.
Heather Stebbins is a DC-based composer and multi-instrumentalist whose work explores the porous boundary between memory and emotion. She foregrounds cello, synthesizer, and an array of other electronics, creating music that is imbued with patience, unfolding slowly over the course of multi-movement suites. Her new album, On Separation, was released by Outside Time in May.
