Sheryl Cheung (Taipei, Taiwan)
Sheryl Cheung experiments with the idea of the body as an instrument that is continually played by affects. Like an open, metabolic body, her sound palette is vulnerable and harsh at the same time. Sheryl works between experimental music, abstract scoring and writing to explore a materialist understanding of power, emotion and moral order. Her recent research focuses on sound and medicine through the perspective of Chinese ontology. For this performance in San Francisco she will be working with electronic sound and local plants.

Anne Guthrie & Kevin Corcoran duo (SF)
Anne Guthrie is an acoustician, composer, and French horn player based in San Francisco, CA. She studied music composition at University of Iowa, and architectural acoustics at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. Her music combines processed field recordings and instrumental improvisation while exploiting architectural and psycho-acoustic phenomena to distort and obscure sonic identities. Along with her solo work, she often performs and records with Billy Gomberg as FrauFraulein, and with Gomberg and Richard Kamerman as Delicate Sen.

Kevin Corcoran is a percussionist focused on techniques which extend the sonic possibilities of the instrument emphasizing textural sound, friction, sympathetic vibration, sustained tones and the use of found objects. Improvisation is crucial to his practice as generative method and non-hierarchical exchange of ideas. He collaborates with artists across various disciplines locally in the Bay Area and in his performances throughout the US, Europe and East Asia.
