About the performers

Cassia Streb and Tim Feeney build site-and situation-specific “hybrid” installations and live sounding actions, for placement in any accessible indoor space or outdoor grounds. Their work moves participants through these locations, introducing sound alongside that of their normal environments, such that observers experience and recall new, altered, or strangely familiar senses of place. 
As composers and musicians living in an urban environment, they are hyper-aware of the cacophony of sounds that surround us, from planes, air conditioners, other machines, to organic sounds like children playing, birds singing, and leaves rustling. With these elements, they engage the sonic and cultural memory of a place, highlighting, emphasizing, and masking aspects of its acoustic and history.

Canadian experimental artist Cassia Streb lives and works in Los Angeles, California, making bespoke music for specific situations and for special places, using viola, small percussion instruments, and found objects.Some of her recent projects include Sound House, a modular, interactive sound and puppet piece, and co-founding Music for Your Inbox, a digital concert platform that presents the work of experimental visual and sound artists. 

Tim Feeney performs, composes, improvises, and builds environments in and for forests and grain silos, appearing in bookstores and basements with Sarah Hennies and Greg Stuart; in galleries and libraries with Vic Rawlings and Annie Lewandowski; in colleges and museums with Andrew Raffo Dewar, Holland Hopson, and Jane Cassidy; and in the occasional festival or concert hall with Anthony Braxton, Ingrid Laubrock, and the Partch Ensemble. He is faculty at the California Institute of the Arts.
