| MR Daniel and Reginald Jackson |
|
MR Daniel is a sound artist and writer who works in installation, text, and performance. Her work primarily concerns the creation
of psycho-historical landscapes informed by multi-variant social, cultural, and scientific registers. Her written, sound, and video
work has or will be performed or exhibited in San Francisco, Minnesota, Cleveland, Seattle and Greece. During the past year, after
returning to dislocated southern roots, she began experimenting with processing her voice hymn-lining and troubling spirituals
through a range of analog and digital manipulations. Currently, MR is a graduate fellow in Music Composition at Princeton
University. Reginald Jackson is currently a Ph.D. candidate in the department of East Asian Studies at Princeton University specializing in pre- modern Japanese performance. When he's not reading and writing about calligraphy and Noh drama, he is invariably playing electric guitar and listening to the likes of Robben Ford, Jimi Hendrix, Derek Trucks, and Mahalia Jackson. |

Growing up around equipment and metalworking on a farm in northeast Missouri, Lisa Coons acquired a special affinity for noise
composition and aggressive sound art. Presently a graduate student in music at Princeton University, she has been working with
turntables and the layering and deconstruction of her own past compositions, as well as the incorporation of found sounds and
noise samples. She composes almost exclusively for small chamber ensembles, and most recently her work has begun to
include the construction of percussive or bowed instruments from scrap metal and discarded machine parts. Lisa also plays in
the group "Indie Rock for Girls," founded in 2006 with drummer Brian McOmber and is part of the composer collective called,
simply, The Collected.
