GUZO is Madelyn Villano. She is a biracial noise musician who works with strings, samples, and electronics living in Portland, OR. Her live performance focus is mostly supporting her own somatic relief with sound — which lately translates into filling up space with loud, intense sonics.

Logan Strosahl

Born in  Seattle, Washington, Logan Strosahl is a composer and woodwind player who engages classical composition soundworlds and technique, improvisation, and the methodology of Jazz equally in his work. After getting a BA in Jazz Performance at the New England Conservatory in 2011, Logan moved first to Brooklyn, then in 2018 to Berlin, where he completed an M.A in Jazz Composition at the Jazz Institut Berlin. In that time he released four albums on the New York based Sunnyside Records: Up Go We (2015), his debut album of all original compositions; Janus (2016), a duo record with pianist Nick Sanders; Book I  of Arthur (2017), a musical retelling of the origin story of King Arthur, and Sure (2019), a trio record of mostly originals.

His most recent and largest work (released on September 3rd 2021, on Sunnyside Records), is a piece for chamber orchestra and soloist called Book II of Arthur: Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, a translation of the the 14th-century Middle-English poem of the same name. Performed by the Berlin-based Charles Rosen Ensemble with Michael Cohen-Weissert conducting, Sir Gawain is an hour-long composition with three major improvisational sections- an uninterrupted “translation” with Strosahl playing the role of Gawain on Saxophone, clarinet and flute.
