Violinist Erik Carlson has performed around the globe as a soloist and with many chamber and orchestral ensembles. He is a highly active performer of contemporary music and has had works written for him by numerous composers. As an enthusiastic proponent of interdisciplinary collaboration, he performs frequently with dancers, poets, and film.
He has been featured on dozens of recordings as a soloist and ensemble member, and his own compositions have been performed in a wide variety of international venues.
He is an Associate Professor at the University of California, San Diego.
Tyler J. Borden is a cellist working with, in, and around the constraints of the cello. Formerly from Western NY, he is now based in Brooklyn NY, where he spends much of his time finding ways to exploit the strengths and failures of himself and his instrument.
Matt Sargent (b. 1984) is a composer, guitarist, recording engineer, and music technology specialist based in upstate New York, where he is an assistant professor of music at Bard College. His music grows from resonance, memory, the making/breaking of patterns, and computer models of musical thought. Working between the concert stage, the recording studio, and the code box, Sargent’s audio technology has been called “a veritable fountain of intensifying, kaleidoscopic spumes” (Peter Margasak, Bandcamp). Over the last decade, his work has focused extensively on musical algorithms and real-time notation systems, which can be heard in his compositions and technical collaborations with other artists.
