Formed in Tokyo in 1995 and based in Chicago since 1996, TV Pow is a trio of composers and free improvisers working across experimental electronic music. Working across experimental electronic music and free improvisation, the trio uses samplers, synthesizers, laptops, percussion, invented instruments, turntables, and tape manipulation to create evolving soundscapes that blend electronics, ambient drift, minimalist structures, and field recordings.
J0Y. /joi/ noun
A profound, long-lasting state of intense happiness, contentment, and inner peace, often arising from connection, purpose, or gratitude.
Matthew Davis (J0Y.) is a Chicago-based composer, improviser, and multi-instrumentalist rooted in the past, working in the present and gazing to the future. His evolving practice incorporates synthesizers, plant-based sound systems, and diverse acoustic instruments to create textured, immersive compositions. His work moves fluidly between structure and spontaneity, creating hypnotic groves, infectious melodies, and cosmic sonic landscapes.
A seasoned performer, MD has toured extensively around the world, developing a reputation for captivating, exploratory live sets. His latest album, “Free” demonstrates his fierce creativity and instrumental prowess.
Open Seki is the duo of John Biggers (Hefty) and Nathan Tucker (SKAM, Wobblyhead, Consumers Research & Development), endeavoring to scratch that undefinable itch through pulse exploration and phased aural stimulation.
