Composer/Performers Pamela Z (San Francisco), Danishta Rivero
(Oakland), and Anthony R. Green (Brighton, UK) will perform an
evening of works for voices, electronics, and piano. They will
intersperse composed solo works with improvised trios – finding
curious intersections between their individual sonic and
performance practices.
Pamela Z is a composer/performer and media artist making works
for voice, electronics, samples, gesture activated MIDI controllers,
and video. She has toured throughout the US, Europe, and Japan.
Her work has been presented at venues and exhibitions including
Bang on a Can (NY), the Japan Interlink Festival, Other Minds (SF),
MoMA (NY), the Venice Biennale, and Dakar Biennale. She has
composed scores for dance, film, and chamber ensembles (including
Kronos Quartet and Eighth Blackbird). Her awards include the Rome
Prize, Berlin Prize, Foundation for Contemporary Arts, MIT
McDermott Award, the Guggenheim, and the American Academy of
Arts and Letters. www.pamelaz.com
Danishta Rivero is an improviser, performer, and sound artist
based in Oakland, California. She explores the artifacts resulting
from heavy processing of the voice and their relationship to its
acoustic resonance.
As a soloist, Rivero often performs as Caribay, conjuring the
eponymous mountain spirit, whose laments cause avalanches.
She is a member of electro-acoustic duo Voicehandler with
percussionist Jacob Felix Heule. She is also half of Las Sucias, a
feminist tropical noise duo with Alexandra Buschman-Román.

The creative output of Anthony R. Green (composer,
performer, social justice artist) includes musical and visual
creations, interpretations of original works or works in the
repertoire, collaborations, educational outreach, and more.
Behind all of his artistic endeavors are the ideals of equality and
freedom, which manifest themselves in diverse ways in a
composition, a performance, a collaboration, or social justice
work. www.anthonyrgreen.com/
