Lemuel Marc
Lemuel Marc is composer and trumpet player, who is studying at the New England Conservatory. He plays regularly around New England with improvisers including Evan Palmer, Yoona Kim, Brittany Karlson, Michael Larocca and the Hivemind Brass Quintet.

Jake Meginsky
Jake Meginsky has collaborated and performed with an extraordinary range of musicians including Milford Graves, Alvin Lucier, Joan La Barbara, Kim Gordon, Vic Rawlings, Greg Kelley, Bhob Rainey, Joe McPhee, William Parker, Daniel Carter, Paul Flaherty, John Truscinski, Arthur Brooks, and Bill Nace.

Milk of Mustard Seed is a collaboration between Katarina Mazur (harp, voice, accordion) and Stella Silbert (prepared turntable, mixer feedback, microphones) in which improvisation and ritual transmute: a twin-bloom of howl and hum.
ARKM foam is a Field Botanist, Entomologist, and Artist performing rare plant and animal surveys as well as sound/silence-based improvisations throughout New England. Additional professional experiences includes native plant propagation, sculptural percussive instrument performance, and wetland delineation/permitting. Foam is a multi-disciplinary collagist blending emotional response, the community members themselves, biological survey data, and other fancies. Passions involve hyper-regional inventories of plants, flower-visiting insects, gall-makers, leafminers, and aquatic insects. Foam has released over 100 albums, played over 1,000 gigs, regularly surveys for moths and other insects using blacklights, and performs/teaches frequently in the region

Vic Rawlings is a musician, instrument builder, sound installation artist, filmmaker, and teacher based in western Massachusetts. He has performed and taught across North America and Europe. He uses instruments of his own design: an amplified/extensively prepared cello and a highly unstable electronic instrument with an array of exposed speaker elements. He collaborates with a broad range of artists and is the co-director of the film Linefork, a documentary about the unheralded banjo legend Lee Sexton. In 2022, Vic had a life-altering stroke and continues to adapt and refine his instruments and approach.
