A gleaner of sonorities, AJ Cornell transforms and transmits sonic material over radio channels and through live performance. Her approach employs dense layers of macro and micro sounds evolving over long periods of time, as well as moments of rupture and détournement. She composes and designs sound for moving images, and is a member of Le fruit vert.

Claire is also the Field/DC site coordinator, regularly leading workshops in the Fieldwork feedback method.

Blind:Out:Dated - This is a blind date. Duo or solo? Gary Rouzer interacts live on stage with a pre-produced stereo piece by an absent artist, having never heard any of the material before this performance. All acousmatic / pre-produced sounds have been conceived by Nicolas Wiese in his Berlin studio, exclusively out of Rouzer’s improvised recordings. Wiese came up with a variable compositional structure, consisting of several short movements, leaving plenty of room for different ways of live interaction, and being open to future transfigurations. This is the second performance of a continuing project that will eventually present both musicians in the same room but now another blind date will take place out in the open.
