Celine (Suh Yeon) Kang is a guitarist, composer, and improviser based in New York. Influenced by European improvised music and Black American music, her work blends dense composed materials, non-traditional improvisations, and textural soundscapes. Celine began her career in music as a recording artist and live performer, primarily performing in Gospel, R&B, and Rock. Her current work focuses on improvised music and original compositions.
Oakland born, NYC based saxophonist, clarinetist, and composer Nathan Nakadegawa-Lee embodies a striking mix of sounds deriving from experimental, vocal, blues, and jazz traditions. He has appeared with generational artists such as Billy Martin, Faye Carol, Azure McCall, Selendis Johnson, Mali Obomsawin, and Lesley Mok. He insistently runs a house show series "Bellcave" from his Queens basement.
