Ori Barel and Scott Perry received their PhDs from the University of California, Santa Barbara. They also hold MFAs from CalArts.

Some of Ori Barel’s interests are: algorithmic composition, particularly the use of cellular automata, improvisation, sound design and music visualization.

Scott Perry likes to manipulate vocal sounds and small recorded impulses into digital audio montages. He also has a fascination with the connections and continuities between rhythm, harmony, and timbre. 

Ori Barel will be presenting a set of recent electronic pieces that combine live keyboards, max patches, field recordings, 4-track tape, alto saxophone and video.

Scott Perry will be presenting three recent electronic works for diffusion over quadraphonic speaker array. Two of these works will feature physically modeled virtual piano in alternative tuning systems. The third, “Garudas,” is a montage of sounds derived from the calls of several North American Raptors.
