Gían Pérez is an artist, improviser, and composer born and raised in Puerto Rico, based in Brooklyn, NY, whose work focuses on the dissection and subversion of form. By extending the guitar to its physical extremes as a material, Perez invites listeners to question what sound is expected of the electric guitar. Perez has worked and studied with artists like Brandon Seabrook, Kate Gentile, Anthony Pirog, Humberto Ramirez, Michael Attïas, Joe Morris, Brandon Lopez, Marc Edwards, Teté Leguía, Kwami Winfield, David Leon, among others. Recently, he has played at venues including The Stone, Knitting Factory, Joe's Pub, Nublu, Downtown Music Gallery, Rhizome DC, and more. Perez is also an active theatre practitioner working at theatres like The Public Theatre, New York Theatre Workshop, Roundabout Theatre, among others. His multimedia concert piece, ¿baby blue?, was presented at Ars Nova's ANT Fest 2023.

Czonka is an instrumental drums+bass+synth duo from the DC area whose debut album is now available at czonka.bandcamp.com. Their music is a high-energy mix of art-punk and prog-rock styles along the lines of Battles, Trans Am, Holy Fuck, Can, and a little Primus thrown in for fun.
