Ian Power is a composer living in Baltimore. He earned his PhD with Chaya Czernowin at Harvard University, and has developed a notational style that gives the performer control over pacing and managing her own endurance while remaining deterministic in its rhythm and aesthetic effect, designed to produce gestures that the musicians can play independently and confidently, and which an audience perceives as uncanny yet warm. Power's music has been described by the New York Times as having "resolute ooze and elemental graininess," and by the late Pauline Oliveros as a "tough act to follow." He also writes on music, performs Turkish music on the oud, and was recently named Assistant Professor and Director of Integrated Arts at the University of Baltimore.

where rising and falling electronic textures and drawn-out viola lines
cast soothing shadow plays on the brain.” – Baltimore City Paper

Travis Johns used to begin his bio by stating that he did something
specific and happens to be based out of a particular place in the
western hemisphere. For instance, is a performer of experimental
electronic music based out of Ithaca, New York, as is currently the
case. However, after nearly two decades of doing the experimental arts
thing, he's come to realize that beginning a bio in such a way can be
a little confusing and misleading - especially considering that in
those two decades he's lived in six states and two countries and his
work has included such mediums as printmaking, environmental art,
sound design, traditional composition, installation and so on, and so
on, and so on. Sometimes he openly envies folks such as Peter
Brötzmann or Masami Akita - and not simply due to their sonic output,
but because they can be clearly codified. Case in point - improviser,
Germany. Noise musician, Japan. You get the drift. It could be
possible that he's yet to receive such classification, or through
diversification, has managed to avoid such a fate. Whether this is a
good thing or not has yet to be determined. Either way, he hopes you
enjoy the sonic offering he intends to provide this evening, most
likely to be performed on a laptop computer.
