alone-a is the solo exploratory sonic project of Alana Horton. It explores the limits of memory and moment through vast tapestries of voice, digital delays, and densely rich signal processing. Every sound comes only from her voice, transformed through an ever-evolving Max/MSP instrument to surprising, chaotic, and ecstatic ends.
Crystal Myslajek is a composer and multi-instrumentalist whose genre-defying music is both lyrical and ethereal. On her albums with Moon Glyph and Water Wing Records, as well as self-produced releases, Myslajek layers looping vocals, keys and effects to craft expansive songs with geographical and environmental themes. John Marks is an interdisciplinary artist who locates his practice at the nexus of experimental film and electroacoustic music. His moving image and sound pieces center on time and place as materials for abstraction. Together, Myslajek and Marks create spectral sonic textures that manifest in multimedia performance and installation.
Dameun Strange is a sound explorer, multi-instrumentalist, composer, and sound designer whose conceptual electronic and improvised electro-acoustic works focus on stories and themes of the African diaspora, often using surrealist and afro-futurist aesthetics. He is currently a graduate student in Composition at the University of Minnesota School of Music and lives in the Frogtown Community of Saint Paul, MN with his wife, Corina, and their inquisitive daughter, Ezra.
