• Jair-Rohm Parker Wells - an American bassist (NS Design OmniBass, Chapman Stick, Ashbory, and NS Design electric upright bass), composer, and electronic music conceptualist. He is one of the founding members of the improvising band Machine Gun. After residing in Stockholm, Sweden for over three decades, he relocated to the United States in 2018. Since then, he has continued to be active internationally as a promoter of improvised and experimental music, performing and recording extensively across various genres.

• Weathering is an electroacoustic duo formed by Matt Carey (clarinet, piano) and Carolyn Zaldivar Snow (modular synthesizers, baritone guitar). Their work merges field recordings from natural environments with intricate, experimental electronics, creating immersive soundscapes that evoke both organic and technological worlds.

Carey’s background in electronic music includes studies with Dr. Anna Rubin at UMBC and Pauline Oliveros at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. His work has been featured in a range of media, including film, dance, and immersive installations. Zaldivar Snow is a self-taught musician. Her work has appeared in Smithsonian’s Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, and temporary environments, including a geodesic dome in Eakin’s Oval as part of Philadelphia quadraphonic, hydrophonic project Wooder. She leads editorial at electronic label Mystery Circles, and contributes to Tape Op Magazine.
