Andy and Baron Slater are a Berwyn-based father and son duo creating music at the intersection of this, that, and some other stuff. Using cutting edge technology along side antiquated digital junk they throw together something that sounds like ambient breakcore versions of PS2 game soundtracks (like Ape Escape).
Andy is a world famous blind person and Baron is 17 and produces in Ableton.
MARE is the noise/power electronics project of sound artist Meredith Haines, a multidisciplinary artist and educator working with sound, installation, performance, and video. Her work engages the political capacities of sound, and explores noise as a method of social resistance. She has performed and exhibited work all over the country at venues such as No Nation, High Concept Labs, New Boone Gallery, AS220, Space 1026, and the DUMBO Dance Festival.
After earning a BFA in dance and choreography at Temple University and working as a musician in Philadelphia for over a decade, Meredith’s work led her to Chicago in 2019 to earn her Master’s in Sound Arts and Industries at Northwestern University on a merit scholarship. She is a current Artist-in-residence at High Concept Labs in Chicago, Illinois.
