 Ana Luisa Diaz de Cossio Sanchez

Ana Luisa Diaz de Cossio Sanchez

I am a performer-composer whose work traverses the space between social structures, individuality, spontaneity, and explores resonance in physical as well as cultural space. Through extreme extended techniques, I challenge conventional instrument playing, exploring the possibilities and limits of sounds within an instrument. My music is informed by political, social, and cultural awareness of the systems constituting our societies.  I have participated in Manifesté-IRCAM (FR), Darmstadt Summer Course (DE), OneBeat Taiwan (TW), Experimental Institute at Antenna Cloud Farm (USA), Ensemble Evolution (USA), Karp Kamina Residency (Togo), ANMA+NordPlus Music Forum (EE), Dark Music Days (IS), Time for Music (FI), ActinArt (DK) among others. I hold degrees from Universidad Autónoma de Baja California, Boston Conservatory at Berklee, Listaháskoli Íslands and I am enrolled at the University of California-San Diego.

Brian Mark

Brian Mark

New York based composer, pianist and video artist Brian Mark has been hailed as an “attractive and intelligible” artist (Boston Musical Intelligencer), whose work is “compelling” (London Jazz News), and "preserves the vibrancy and relevance of contemporary art music" (New York Examiner). The American Composers Forum esteemed Brian as an "intelligent, modern composer who employs many media elements and does so with marked idiosyncrasy and depth”. His concert programming as an artistic director for “Ensemble in Process” has recently been described as “a fluid approach to presenting new music in fresh contexts and juxtapositions” (The New Yorker), and his previous curations for “DETOUR” was featured as "one the top five new music events of 2011" from New York’s Classical WQXR.


Ethan Woods

Ethan Woods

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.

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.
