Austin Larkin is a composer primarily working with violin, bells, and sirens. His performance and practice is informed by research into dimensions of vibrating bodies. Larkin’s solo violin performance situates the violin as an instrument to accentuate space, rather than to fill space. Within this space, the violin renders a continuously unfolding structure of interlocking harmonic shapes and temporal patterns. With his custom bell instruments, the experience of ringing is expanded to energize the resonance of architecture and the cochlea. Through these instruments, we hear sound is not separate from space, sound is space.
Susie Kozawa is a Seattle-based sound artist, composer, and performer who works with sound collages and site-specific installations in which the gathering of sounds is a primary activity. She explores different acoustic spaces using musical instruments that she makes out of found objects (kelp, modified toys, cardboard rolls, jars, etc.). Creating live sound design and soundscapes for dance, theater, and film productions, Kozawa has participated in a “live spectacle performance” of Guy Madden’s silent film Brand Upon The Brain! that performed in Seattle, Portland, Sao Paulo, and Winnipeg. She has also contributed to sound and sound effects in the films Torrey Pines (Petersen 2016), By the Salish Sea (Gregory 2012), and When Herons Dream (2009). She was a founding member of Aono Jikken Ensemble, an experimental group that specializes in bringing live performance to silent films, and is a member of the Seattle Phonographers Union. She has received awards from the Seattle Arts Commission, Artist Trust, Washington State Arts Commission, and the Ford Foundation.
A freelance flutist, artist, improviser, and composer, Leanna Keith (she/they) delights in creating sound experiences that make audiences laugh, cry, and say: “I didn’t know the flute could do that!” Their works focus on timbre-shifting, the mixed-race experience, queer theory, and the breaking of genre boundaries. She is dedicated to playing music by living composers, and advocates for the usage of music as social activism.
