RM Francis (@morton_failglob) is an artist based in Seattle working with computer-generated sound and language via recording, installation, and performance. He has presented work at the Mills College Center for Contemporary Music (Oakland), Gray Area (San Francisco), Kolonia Artystów (Gdansk), as well as clubs, auditoriums, warehouses, and galleries throughout North America. His practice foregrounds computation-based compositional strategies, focusing on methods that exploit discrepancies between human and artificial auditory systems. His current work exploits latent phonological data extracted from non-linguistic sound in order to generate the tonal, rhythmic, and semantic content of synthesized speech. The resulting subjective narration articulates the potentialities of speech decoupled from embodied human expression, navigating between abstract sound and uncanny characterological specificity. 


Asha Tamirisa (@asha tamirisa) is an artist and researcher primarily working with sound and video in performance and installation. Her work engages materiality, metaphor, history, archives, gender and technology. Asha holds a Ph.D. in Computer Music and Multimedia and an M.A. in Modern Culture and Media from Brown University, and has taught at Street Level Youth Media, Brown University, RISD, and Bates College. 


Annie Dodson (@aedodson) is an electroacoustic composer, sound artist, and cellist from Portland, Maine who studied Music Composition and Human Rights at Bard College. Their music focuses on ecology and the environment, sensitivity and reception, queerness and intimacy, with an emphasis on slow processes, gradual progression, and repetition.
