Manfred Werder is a composer and performer, wandering through the abundance in which he traces all possible enunciation regarding the world. His recent works [ the inscription of the sun ] and [ the music of history ] continue the practice of reflection and inscription of both found materials through the sun and typewriter and the public space through dérive. Earlier works include stück 1998 and performer series (1999- ), ten 4000 page scores whose nonrecurring and intermittent performative realizations have been ongoing since December 1997. Lives in situ.
Eric Laska is a musician and artist based in Philadelphia whose projects mostly take shape as sound installation, performance, or original songwriting. He is founding editor of the online audio journal Lateral Addition which seeks to enrich the conversations surrounding contemporary sound practices. Between 2018 – 2020 he co-ran the sound and media arts gallery Remote Viewing in Philadelphia with Geoff Mullen. He is currently on tour performing material from his new release “Original Songs.”
Sam Sfirri is a composer and musician primarily focusing on pianos and other keyboard instruments. His recorded work has been featured by hibari music, Lateral Addition, Madacy Jazz, Marginal Frequency, and Tonkatsu Records, among others.
