Jon Philpott aka Fezmaster \;w
ill be presenting two pieces of music based on his current track of experi
ments using simple computer programs modeled around cells to generate and
manipulate ambient music that is inspired by natural processes played from
his DIY synthesizer\, The two pieces of music follow a theme of "breath"
with pieces of code that attempt to mimic natural breathing patterns which
is combined with improvisations on the bamboo flute and trombone\, both i
nstruments that depend on the player's breath.

Michele Medina-
Ferrone is a multi-disciplinary violinist from Utah. In 2022\, sh
e asked Ellinor Peteresen\, a Utah composer originally fr
om Sweden\, if she could write her an unaccompanied violin solo. Medina-Fe
rrone wanted the piece to be about motherhood because after having her son
\, Kian\, it was suddenly a challenge to organize music performances like
she had in the past. Petersen sought inspiration from photos\, poetry\, an
d Swedish folk dances. Listen for the Swedish Hambopolska and Schottis &ld
quo\;Metamorphosis in March.&rdquo\;
