Majid Araim, born 1985, is a multi-instrumentalist, composer, curator, and a fixture of the Atlanta improvisation and new music communities. Majid's prolific work as a composer focuses on resonance and dynamics, experimental approaches, and is oriented towards the natural world and fantasy realms.  Since 2014 he has presented over 95 concerts through his series The Magic Lantern; connecting people from all over the world through thought engaging performance.  In addition to his creative work as a musician, he is a dedicated father, gardener, animal lover and painter.

Emi Kawashima (she/they) is a mover, grower, and maker based in DC. They explore movement and other mediums with a constantly changing body and mind. Inspired by nature, relationships, mental health, and everyday situations, she has been experimenting with plant dyed shibori fiber in their work. Emi gets their hands dirty as a garden manager at the Washington Youth Garden while finding ways to share space and collaborate with other creative folks. Connect with them on Instagram @botanic_ritual

m. cole is an artist and musician obsessed with material medium & dialectical procession. Ritualistic aural conversation; weaving animated loops; midi-fueled dialogue; manipulated acoustics; we access the material ribbons of sound together; bodies dampen & reverberate & influence in companionship.

some pepper is the long running recording project of David L Byrne (Charmaine's Names) focusing on autogestion and feedback loops. Classically no-input; mixers, EQs, compressors and some fx pedals are allowed to express themselves, with some guidance. Conceptually, this is how life originated, with billions of reiterations funneling thru their environment, compressed thru time.
