meroitic
meroitic is a sound & movement based project of black trans non-binary interdisciplinary artist & composer jamondria harris. Their work uses words, sounds, wires, instruments, textiles & what falls into their hands to engage with blackness, desire, spirit/source, narratology/folklore, ontologies of liberation & embodiment.Their sound art emerges from deep-listening fluidity between rhythm & source, engendering sonic cartographies woven from samples, feedback, the electromagnetic field of bodies & rooms and both digital and analog synthesizer soundscapes.Their albums are available on Fallen Moon Recordings.

scrambler
Some Sonic scribbles, captured as tiny slices in time all while negotiating the digital continuum with both feet submerged in the analog domain and one large heart centered soul floating aimlessly in the multiverse matrix.
Scrambler is Mike Gamble, a multi-instrumentalist from Portland OR.

Her work moves easily and recklessly across borders, building on a restless curiosity and a long history of collaborations and work for hire with bands, orchestras, composers, film makers, writers and choreographers, including Earth, Nirvana, the BBC Scottish Symphony, Mirah, Maya Dunietz, Jherek Bischoff,  Jessika Kenney, Eyvind Kang, Ilan Volkov, Vanessa Renwick, David Byrne, Cat Power, Terry Riley, Lonnie Holley, Stuart Dempster, Torben Ulrich, Ghedalia Tezartes, Ellen Fullman, Natacha Atlas,  the BBC Scottish Symphony and many, many others.

She performs her work at venues and festivals throughout the US, Mexico, Canada, Australia and Europe, including the Kennedy Center, Joe’s Pub, Cineteca Nacional de Mexico, Henry Art Gallery, Frye Art Museum, PS21, Tectonics, Le Guess Who?, On the Boards, Bumbershoot, TBA, What the Heck Fest, Chicago Humanities Festival, River to River, Sydney Festival, and for Paris Fashion Week.
