WENDY EISENBERG [http://www.wendyeisenberg.com/] is an improvising
guitarist, banjo-player, vocalist and poet. Using the languages of
free jazz, new music, extreme metal and art song, her music sets to
pose and expose the questions surrounding the human body in the world
and the representational and technical demands placed on it in
artistic practice. She has written and performed in numerous projects,
including the critically acclaimed experimental band, Birthing Hips,
described by NPR as “brainy, noisy punk based in sonic adventure,
technical mastery, and rejection of the status quo.” Her work as an
improviser has led to collaborations with Ted Reichman, Joe Morris,
Damon Smith, John Zorn, Travis LaPlante and Zach Rowden, among many
others.
ARIAN SHAFIEE [http://www.arianshaifiee/] is a Brooklyn based
guitarist/composer most known for his playing in the off-kilter dance
punk band Guerilla Toss. Inspired by aspects of non-western tuning and
extended techniques, he crafts moments of dense, shimmering harmony
and aggressive gesture through a unique approach, hinging classical
impressionism to no-wave and early minimal music. The music from his
recent full length on VDSQ finds him edging between overtly lyrical
flourishes and deep quietude; where each piece exists in its own
expansive harmonic world, unfurling and unfolding.
