Jake Muir is a Berlin based artist, DJ, and field recordist working with found sound. He approaches his practice as a listener first, carefully curating, layering and processing sounds that help him deconstruct and contextualize his lived experiences and influences. Using investigative software methodologies, DJ techniques, and dextrous engineering, Muir makes deeply personal sonic art that fluidly traverses genre, encouraging reflection, and sometimes prompting psychedelic states.
Muir’s work has been presented at various spaces and festivals including INA-GRM (Paris), Public Records (NYC), Roter Salon (Berlin), Blitz Club (Munich), Human Resources (Los Angeles), The Lab (San Francisco), Honcho Campout (PA), and Sustain Release (NY). His recordings have been published by Sferic Records, Ilian Tape, Enmossed, Dust Editions, Further Records, and Boomkat Editions. His album Bathhouse Blues was included in Pitchfork’s 30 Best Jazz and Experimental Albums of 2023 list.
Jake Muir’s latest album release Campana Sonans is an electro-acoustic journey through Western European cathedrals, chapels, and churches. Inspired by the resonant bells of Berlin after his 2019 move, Muir meticulously field-recorded distinctive church acoustics across Germany and England. Through digital manipulation, reverb, and distortion, Muir transforms these recordings into mesmerizing drones and ghostly textures, offering a unique, impressionistic meditation on sonic architecture, cultural practice, and the subtle disturbances within time itself.
Glyn Maier is a sound artist and field recordist living in Pisgah Forest, North Carolina.
Non-city outdoor spaces are essential to Maier’s practice. With a formal education in physics and music composition, Maier’s preoccupations with natural objects, landscapes, and their social histories guide his recordings, which are then integrated into ambient electronic works utilizing organic rhythms and complex timbres. Maier’s abstract synthesis work is deeply informed by sound design, but his larger focus is on the agency of both machine and environment.
Another facet of Maier’s sonic practice is enmossed, the label he founded in 2017. Dedicated to contemporary sound, all profits are donated to positive causes of the artist’s choice, and materials for the tapes and records are hand-constructed out of recycled materials. Its catalogue of records and cassettes is distributed internationally by shops such as Industrial Coast (UK), Rope Editions (Korea), and Tobira Records (Japan).
Marta Núñez Pouzols is a poet and translator from Andalusia, Spain. She immigrated to the Triangle area of North Carolina in 2008, and currently lives in Durham.
She co-authored with Argentine poet Maia Morosano the bilingual collection Pronombres siderales/Starry Selves (Turba, 2019.) Her poems can be found in La bella Varsovia, Telegráfica, Works & Days, Lute & Drum, and DREGINALD. At UNC-Chapel Hill, she taught courses on film, hispanic literature, and Spanish language. Marta co-curates the reading series Paradiso and organizes Moon Palace, a horizontal writers’ workshop. She also writes critical pieces and reviews on film and sound.
Her manuscript The Giant Squid is inspired by divinatory hermeneutics, incantatory language, and dystopian traditions. This collection explores individual and collective grief.
Her last manuscript is Waiting Room, a poetic prose memoir that uses the surface of words and the interaction between English and Spanish as a point of departure to reflect on memory and experience.
Kristina Warren is a versatile and imaginative sound artist, composer, and performer based on Narragansett land, also known as Providence, Rhode Island [US]. Warren’s performances range from synth voyages and digital soundscapes to concertina meditations and beyond; Warren also presents installations, workshops, lectures, and more. All this work aims in various ways to highlight the ebbs and flows of individual and collective listening attention. Praised as “beautifully organic” (Peter Bruyn, Haarlems Dagblad) and having “a finesse of timbral traces” (Frédéric Cardin, PanM360), work by Warren has been presented internationally at venues including TIK [DE], WORM [NL], The Bluecoat [UK], Infuse [FR], Espacios Sonoros [AR], IOIC [CH], Experimental Sound Studio (Chicago, US), Rhizome (DC, US), and the MIT Spatial Sound Lab (Cambridge, US).
