Good news! :) Rachel Devorah (Boston) will be joined by two special guests: Kimberly A. Sutton (Chicago) and Kristina Warren (Providence). The three reunite as the Aorist trio, specializing in site-specific and improvisation-centered electronic and acoustic sound. Don't miss it!

Rachel Devorah Wood Rome, Ph.D. is a sonic artist and feminist technologist. She is employed as an Assistant Professor of Electronic Production and Design | Creative Coding at the Berklee College of Music; and as a Councilor for AFT-MA Local 4412, AFL-CIO. Her work has received support from the Adrian Piper Foundation (Berlin), EMS (Stockholm), GRM (Paris), MassMoCA [U.S.], the New Museum (New York), New Music USA, and STEIM (Amsterdam). It has been heard in twelve countries on four continents performed by/with artists such as Laurel Jay Carpenter, JACK quartet, Ava Mendoza, Roscoe Mitchell, Lydia Moyer, Ryan Muncy, Liew Niyomkarn, orkest de ereprijs, Yarn|Wire, and the William Winant Ensemble. Her installation revontulet at Sound Music Computing - Helsinki won the Ruth Anderson Prize from the International Alliance of Women in Music. She practices improvisation with bespoke electronics and French horn (her mother tongue). She also creates audio-visual structures by these means which seek to reveal and reframe habits of autoecholocation (situating one’s self with/in sound/space). She values machines for their patience. Sometimes she puts notes on a page. http://racheldevorah.studio/

Kimberly A. Sutton is a sound artist, cellist, and sound designer living in Chicago, Illinois. Her installations and sound design work explore the connections between the physical properties of sound and the cultural signifiers of its content. As a cellist her practice is improvisatory and explores the possibilities of expression and reflection through sound and the immediacy of a meditational connection to her instrument. Recent installations have been shown at ArtPrize in Grand Rapids, Michigan, and the Chicago Home Theater Festival. She has performed at Experimental Sound Studio, the Hideout and the Empty Bottle in Chicago, Yoshi’s in Oakland, Detroit Contemporary, and the Technosonics Festival at the University of Virginia. She has a BA in Political Science and Music from the University of Chicago and an MFA in Electronic Music and Recorded Media from Mills College. kimberlyasutton.com
