Fluxmata is an installation opera moving through birth, growth, end of life, decomposition, and rebirth; reclaiming dirt and grime, rejecting shame, and returning otherness outwards. Fluxmata will feed itself and watch it grow, hold it and feel it die, and ultimately ooze back into the womb from which it came.
Genevieve Cecile
Genevieve Cecile is a sound and visual artist based in Los Angeles and Cleveland, Ohio. She has a degree in Music Composition and Flute Performance from Baldwin Wallace University and is currently finishing up her master’s degree at California Institute of the Arts in Composition and Experimental Sound Practices. Genevieve specializes in sound design, live performance, and audio-visual collaborations. Genevieve explores themes of release, decomposition, and dream-logic in her work. She creates lush, eccentric sonic atmospheres with her flute and musical saw and marries them with live digital manipulations using MaxMSP.
Grace Dashnaw
Grace performs with intuition and tactility, generating tangible resonance, experimenting with repetition, monotony, restraint, harshness and discomfort, in sound, image, and object. They express through graphic notation, instrument building, circuitry, programming, sculpture, ceramic, fiber arts, and poetry, within solo creations and collaboration. Grace utilizes acoustic and electronic instruments, including cello, MaxMSP, no input mixing, synthesizer, pedals, and objects; found, recycled, and created. Their work is visceral, intrinsic, boiling over.
M A Harms
M A Harms is a Los Angeles-based composer, performer, and instrument builder who explores the intersections between grief, gender, and sex through a combination of text and sound. Their practice centers performance art and interdisciplinarity, imagining and creating sound using sculptural installations, found objects, the marriage of visual-sonic experiences, and more. M navigates literal stories and personal life events via sound practice, obscuring them to the point that they begin to bridge the gap between individual and “universal” experiences.
