Wilson Shook is an improvising saxophonist living in Pasadena, CA. His approach to music has been shaped by collaborative relationships with Gust Burns, Paul Hoskin, Ben Bennett, Greg Kelley, Carol Genetti, Fred Lonberg-Holm, Ted Byrnes, and others, as well as an ongoing sonic exploration of the resonant void spaces of American hydrologic and automotive infrastructure.
Wilson approaches improvisation, study, collaboration, and performance as sites of radical experimentation with modes of being, relating, and perceiving. His practice cultivates an awareness of human vulnerability and technological fallibility; embraces excess, fragmentation, and incompleteness; and pursues the chaotic, queer, and interdependent imperatives of an aleatory existence amidst a crumbling, toxic culture.
Attentiveness, transformation, commitment to the materiality of the musical act and its consequences; radical presence as the only avenue of escape. Always mindful of the axiom, via Éluard—There is another world, but it is in this one.
Angst Hase Pfeffer Nase is Chris Cooper, typically playing guitar and electronics, with a focus on metallic resonances, unsympathetic vibrations, and the multi-hued pleasures of feedback. Other projects past and present include Fat Worm of Error, The BSC, The Oakland Reductionist Orchestra, and collaborations with Bill Nace, Ted Byrnes, and countable others.

Kevin Corcoran works with sound in contexts of music, art, communication and place. His approach combines percussion, location recordings, electronics, image-making, writing, and walking.
As a percussionist he is focused on extended techniques which emphasize textural sound, friction, sympathetic vibration, sustained tones and the use of found objects. Whether working in sparse sound with a single drum and cymbal or frenetic contexts on the drum kit, improvisation is crucial to his practice as generative method and non-hierarchical exchange of ideas.
Based in San Francisco, California, Kevin collaborates across disciplines and borders having performed in the US, Mexico, Europe, UK, Japan, South Korea, China and Taiwan with musicians, dancers, filmmakers, writers and visual artists. In addition to making live and recorded sound and music, he works with installation, text, photography, and video.
