Nick Hoffman is a musician currently based in Los Angeles. In 2009 he founded Pilgrim Talk — a small record label that publishes experimental music. He has performed music around the world and has collaborated with many different people throughout the years. His musical interests range from early music to extreme computer music. Recent activities center on the baroque lute and other plucked string instruments. His recordings have been published by Senufo Editions, Erstwhile Records, Notice Recordings, and many others.

A.F. Jones (Tracyton, WA) is a Dallas-born, Washington-based musician, composer, and sound designer. Live performances are fully improvised, emphasizing the use of guitar, steel guitar, and found sound. He is involved in several projects, including Missive, ‘what’, and Telescoping. Past projects include Steerage, MANKINDA, and Buck Young. Al is also a sound designer and filmmaker, and co-directed the acclaimed What Is Man and What Is Guitar?: Keith Rowe. He runs the Laminal mastering studio and curates the Marginal Frequency performance series and record label of the same name.

Tarsier Eyes is the guitar improvisation project of Dustin Williams. He will be performing on electric guitar, custom built steel plate feedbacker, and a modified acoustic guitar acting as a resonator. A longstanding practice in prepared guitar has shifted into a fascination with bringing objects into unconventional resonance with transducers.
