Taylor Dye and Deirdre Fromberg perform audiovisual conversations with the aid of an evolving interface of sound and image-generating technology, utilizing techniques of layering, stripping, and improvising with found media to present new possibilities for the discarded, faded, or familiar. They have individually and collaboratively brought their eclectic take on the electronic arts to venues ranging from warehouse parties to dive bars to fine arts spaces.
