About David McKaige
First hitting the stage as a bass player in a Santana tribute band in America, David is now based in Singapore and has established himself here as a Keyboard & Guitar player. Since then, David has been intrigued by how one can never truly create the same sound twice on a modular synthesizer.
About Jon He
Jon He is an experimental sound and integrated media artist, researcher and educator. He works within a hybridized culture of art and technology, exploring the frontiers of computational creativity in contemporary sonic and visual arts practices. His works have been published at major international academic conferences/ journals and performed at specialized events and venues all over the world. His modular works are influenced by noise music, electro-acoustic music tradition, micro sounds, and the art of guqin music. This convergence results in works that traverse between the extremes of musical time scales, often blurring rhythmic rigidness and smearing the unwavering radiance of melodies. Jon is currently the postdoctoral teaching fellow in Sonic Arts at Yale-NUS College.
