Jason Lescalleet
Since establishing himself as a preeminent voice in contemporary electro-acoustic study, Jason Lescalleet has exploded the notion of what is possible within the realm of tape-based music. His recorded catalogue acknowledges a diversity of application, from lo-fi reel-to-reel soundscaping and work for hand-held cassette machines, to digital sampling and computer generated composition. Lescalleet's live actions further expand his oeuvre to include work with video, dance, performance art and multi-media concerns.
In the past two decades, Lescalleet has gradually and painstakingly compiled a compelling discography on notable labels such as Erstwhile, RRR, Intransitive Recordings, Kye, Celebrate Psi-Phenomenon, Hanson Records, Chondritic Sound, and most recently via his own Glistening Examples imprint. He has collaborated with Kevin Drumm, Aaron Dilloway, Graham Lambkin, Phill Niblock, Joe Colley, John Hudak, Rafael Toral, Thomas Ankersmit, and CM Von Hausswolff, among others, and during this time he’s built a solid reputation for delivering a visceral live experience in concert.
Daniel Padden
Daniel Padden is a musician and composer, making music across so many different areas it's sometimes hard to keep up. Recent work includes orchestral scores, children's theatre music, performing live with Scottish Dance Theatre, and improvised tape, guitar and bass clarinet shows. Described by The List as ‘restlessly inventive’, he rarely settles on one style or instrument, as his solo live shows make clear. He is a member of the avant-experimental band Volcano The Bear, and founded The One Ensemble.
