About the artist
Roméo Poirier is a French electronic musician, who creates highly-textured, hybrid digital-analog sound collages. He has released albums on the London based record label Kit Records (Plage Arrière), the Mancunian label Sferic (Hotel Nota), and Jan Jelinek’s Berlin based imprint Faitiche (Living Room), layering a variety of original and archival recordings from different time periods into a free-flowing pulse that sounds both nostalgic and mysteriously ahistorical.

Kristina Warren is a sound artist, composer, performer, and instrument builder based on Wampanoag and Narragansett land also known as Providence, Rhode Island. Both in solo projects and in collaborative work including curating, Warren believes that collective listening is a precious and political act. Warren uses self-designed and received audio tools to create performances, installations, and recorded works, whose recent “ASMR drone” style uses quieter volumes and careful orchestrations to help audiences perceive their own listening.
