ERIC MILLER is a sound artist based in southern New Hampshire. He uses the term 'grayscale' to refer to gradations between binary opposites which are often present in his work. These include rigid/free, improvisation/composition or algorithm, real-time/offline, and tonal/atonal. Miller attempts in his work to traverse these gradations; sometimes with gentle shifts, sometimes with violent leaps from one extreme to the other. The intended result is ambiguity; an obscuring of process, and confusion of which regime a passage lies within each of these axes. Miller's pieces often fit into a category of meta- or counter-composition. This is when several smaller works are brought together in an incommensurate way. They exist within the same framework, yet cannot be considered a unity.
NEIL LEONARD works as a sound artist, composer and saxophonist. His ensemble has featured Marshall Allen, Bruce Barth, Don Byron, Robin Eubanks, and Uri Caine. Leonard’s Dreaming of an Island, for orchestra, electronics and video was premiered by the Indianapolis Chamber Orchestra. Leonard's composition Totems was premiered at Carnegie Hall. Leonard's collaborative work with visual artist Maria Magdalena Campos-Pons was featured by the 49th Venice Biennial, Museum of Modern Art, NY; and presented by the U.S. State Department at Dakar Biennial. Leonard composed the music for Relatives, by Tony Oursler and Constance DeJong featured by the Whitney Biennial. Leonard is Professor at Berklee College of Music in Boston, and taught sound installation at the Univeristy of Padova and the C. Pollini Conservatory, Italy.
Gasp attempts to create a space for artistic exchange where artists will explore and propose new possibilities for contemporary practices, a site for collaboration between disciplines and fields in the contemporary cultural landscape.
