Marguerite Brown (b. 1990) is an American composer and multi-instrumentalist who explores new mediums, forms, and performance practices with an emphasis on unorthodox approaches to tuning and temperament. In her compositions, algorithms often provide a framework for indeterminate parameters to unfold, where freedom of performer interpretation can contribute to a shared sense of vision.

Emphasis: Composition
My works center around contemplative engagement with listening and soundmaking. I am interested in facilitating a participatory performance space that invites both musicians and listeners for a collective ritualistic experience. My compositional approach is oriented toward transforming the everyday perception of the sonic environment. Text-based scores are also integral to my practice informed by composers involved in Fluxus, Deep Listening, and acoustic ecology.

Adam is a musician engaged in the creation of scores, recordings, performances, and installations. He is interested in music’s capacity to shape experiences of time and memory, condition the perceptual limits of change and difference, shift the intangible atmosphere of a space, and reframe the incidental sounds and experiences of everyday life. His music attempts to explore these capacities as it also holds open an immersive space for listening, reflection, and imagination.
