Sam Wenc (Post Moves) is a composer and interdisciplinary artist often working with sound, text, and fabric. As a multi-instrumentalist, he utilizes guitar, pedal steel guitar, vibraphone, electronics, field recordings, and found objects to compose structured and formless work that is curious about concepts of what constitutes “folk" music. He has released music on labels such as Noumenal Loom, Obsolete Staircases, Where to Now (UK), Moone Records, his own label, Lobby Art, and is currently pursuing an MFA in Music & Sound at the Milton Avery Graduate School of the Arts at Bard College.
"the singular music of pedal steel guitarist, Sam Wenc...takes an instrument that is usually associated in a cliche way and turns it into something very atmospheric and expansive" - John Schaefer, WNYC
"New Avant-Americana horizons from Sam Wenc’s Post Moves, meshing folk music with aspects of spiritual jazz, post-rock and avant minimalism in a way that beautifully transcends the sum of its parts." - Boomkat
The Arm is a Baltimore-based trio made up of Sarah Manley (trombone and electronics), Patrick McMinn (trumpet and electronics), and Jason Charney (guitar and electronics). The sound has been described as being somewhere between a beautiful brass chorale and a broken distortion pedal by using a nice mix of improv, noise, and thoughtful chord progressions.
Nate Scheible is a DC-based drummer/improviser who has performed and recorded in a variety of bands and ensembles spanning multiple genres over the past 25 years. Collaborators in recent years include Sarah Hughes, Nik Francis, Layne Garrett, and the bands Mock Identity and Zara. While his background is largely based in improvisation, his recent solo work has focused on the manipulation of magnetic audio tape, radio waves, and fancy electronics his friends are willing to lend him, featured prominently in releases by such labels as ACR, Never Anything, and Unifactor. His most recent album Fairfax received a vinyl reissue by Warm Winters Ltd in spring, 2022. Nate is also an active organizer and curator at the non-profit community arts space Rhizome DC.
