Cincinnati native Patrick Oakes has had the fortune to work in many different creative contexts as an acoustic and electric guitarist. He has experience in jazz/improvised music, bluegrass, rock, funk, and takes a lot of inspiration from various Brazilian styles. Having been a core member of the alternative pop group The Wonderlands, he’s had the chance to share the stage with luminary bands such as Motherfolk, Lawrence, Melt, and Ripe, in addition to releasing several albums and playing across the eastern United States.
His newest project is called Field Guide, a new vehicle for impressionistic Americana music that combines ambient electric soundscapes with the sensibility of improvised jazz music and a singer-songwriter aesthetic. New music on the way!
Eve Maret is a Nashville-based experimental artist and composer who employs a wide array of electronic media and techniques in her various disciplines, exploring the possibilities of personal and communal healing through creative action.
To Eve, the act of creating is a wholehearted “Yes.” She is devoted to creating and performing in a way that is inherently artful, emotionally raw, and transcendent. Drawing inspiration from nineteenth-century orchestral and choral works, the Fluxus movement, Kosmische Musik and funk, Eve makes use of digital and modular synthesizers, a vocoder, clarinet, electric bass, guitar, and field recordings to create works that range from lush cinematic compositions to space disco. Eve’s music practice is a conversation with her numerous curiosities, manifested in the form of video art, drawing, dance, ritual, and cymatics.
Meadownoise is the pseudonym of Matt Glassmeyer, though he'd rather you not know that.
Since he started recording under that name, Glassmeyer--a veteran of many collectives--set his mind to writing, recording, and, at least initially, playing music as a wholly solo endeavor, though it was never an exercise in ego. Following his debut LP It’s 4:00 (2013) and it’s serialized follow-up, Dark Digest (2014), Glassmeyer would don a beige suit and tie for live performance, both as a show of church-like respect to anyone who cared to show up in person, and as an admission that he's just another ordinary person playing music.
Hiding in front of the band, Glassmeyer subconsciously asked the viewer to pay attention to the music not the man. Regardless of interactive stage sculptures and unorthodox instrumentation, it could have been anyone in a suit banging away at a Wurlitzer.
