Ethan Woods is an American musician and arborist interested in locality, rivers, radio, and resisting sorcerers and warlocks. He grew up in Alaska, but relocated to New York City at the age of 21, where he spent the last 15 years performing and recording both as a solo artist and in collaboration with Hyperion Drive, Anawan, Rokenri, Goldfeather, and Landauer, among others. Most recently, his band Fun Facts released their debut record Apartment Rock, and celebrated it with a pop-up Saggitarius carnival at the Unruly Collective. His original compositions have been featured in modern dance performances by choreographers Lydia Chrisman, Meghan Frederick, Zoe Donnellycolt, Emily Climer, and the HappyDog Collective. With his music, Ethan aims for the knife's edge between slapstick profanity and the naive sacred, typically through his voice, guitar, and electronic sound manipulation.

Sara Wentworth is an interdisciplinary artist, composer, designer, violist, synthesist, and engineer based in Brooklyn, NY. She grounds her work in a collage aesthetic, using technology to glue together disparate elements. Wentworth draws from modularity, minimalism, and indeterminacy to blend the old with the new, analog with digital, image with sound, and sound with space. Collaboration and improvisation are central to her creative process, forming richly textured, layered pieces that range from simple and melodic to noisy and chaotic. Wentworth holds a PhD in Digital Arts and Humanities from The School of Music and Theatre at University College Cork, Ireland, and has an extensive background performing solo and collaboratively on an international scale.
