Devin Gray

Born and bred in Maine, a New Yorker since 2006 and currently living between Berlin and Brooklyn. An artist interested in multiple musical directions and one who strives for quality and sincerity in his work. His exciting energy has compelled him towards many different musical directions and projects. Gray’s fresh approach to modern drumming has enabled him to play with many of the world's great jazz musicians. He has performed and recorded with saxophonists David Liebman and Gary Thomas, and recently released a trio with the politically charged title Melt all the Guns, featuring Ralph Alessi and Angelica Sanchez.

On his recent record "Most Definitely" (for solo percussion & electronics, 2023), Gray writes, "This recording represents another musical offering of which is my first ever solo. I wanted to create a work of high detail where people can listen closely in more nuanced ways to what it is that I am communicating in my playing as a widely influenced active human listener, artist, and drummer. As you can guess, this project took me some time, roughly 40 years in the making. I truly hope you are able to find some fun as well as a deeper understanding of expression from me and all of the musical artists from the worlds (and planets) of past, present, and future."


Stevie Richards

Stevie Richards is a DIY electronics and woodwind player and performer currently based in Naarm / Melbourne, Australia. Stevie has performed in Europe, United States, Mexico and Japan and is an active participant in the avant-garde / improvisation environment of Naarm / Melbourne. Stevie has performed in many past and ongoing ensembles worldwide playing noise, free jazz, ambient and electroacoustic music both as a soloist and through deliberate international collaboration.

Mike Meanstreetz

Mike Meanstreetz is a Los Angeles based multimedia artist whose non-traditional craft seeds new genres while reaping the fallen fruit of old. Auditory, visual, and word rarely appear in the singular, most often materializing in a tangle of synaesthesia. His rigorerd wabi-sabi invites the daydream and its ushering of both resonant and dissonant perspectives/perceptions in an inclusive synthesis betweenst. Most of his work focuses on the improvised, situational and shared, and is rooted in the belief that collaboration is a practical divination of that fount pushing all. Sonically his practice primarily explores and expands upon both more metrical genre adjacent sensibilities and more fluid extended techniques via drum kit/percussion, musique concrete/electronic manipulation, and harmonically loaded electro-acoustic nylon MIDI triggered guitar.
