"Chantal Michelle is a composer and interdisciplinary artist whose work engages with the spatial and tactile properties of sound. Her practice incorporates feedback systems, multi-channel speaker arrangements, and psychoacoustic phenomena to explore the relationship between sound, perception, and physical space. She is interested in the fragility of perception and its ability to be altered, disrupted, or reconstructed. Her projects include site-responsive installations, hand-blown glass instruments, conceptual scores, and recorded material.

Michelle's work has been presented internationally at venues and festivals including Fridman Gallery (US), Cafe OTO (UK), MUTEK (MX), and Het HEM (NL). Her discography includes a forthcoming LP on Shelter Press, alongside previous releases on Dinzu Artefacts, Warm Winters Ltd., and Somewhere Press. She has collaborated with musicians Lea Bertucci and Patrick Shiroishi, contributed music to the films of Laura Huertas Millán, and is currently developing an album and a book of poetry with writer and visual artist Funto Omojola. She is also one half of the experimental noise project ⎤⎤⎤, with releases on Superpang and Notice Recordings. Her work has been supported by grants from the Foundation for Contemporary Arts (US), the Sonic Arts Research Unit (UK), and the Feminist Center for Creative Work (US). Michelle holds an MFA from Bard College's Milton Avery Graduate School of the Arts."

"Grace Villamil is an interdisciplinary artist based in NJ & NY. Through sound, performance, video & material her works concern the personal history and physicality of embodied sound and its phenomena. Creating regenerative systems, along with themes related to noise, play, ancestral excavation, and temporality constitute the core of her practice.

Current projects include mumulak; Interaural Space, a community installation turned radio show on WPRB centered on noise, migration & oral histories; ⎤⎤⎤with Chantal Michelle & Drab.
