Webb Crawford is a guitarist, banjoist, improviser and instrument-builder whose work considers relationships between maker, instrument, and player, traditional design conventions, and established performance practices. As a luthier, Crawford focuses on modern reconstructions of historical stringed instruments, recontextualizations of those instruments within experimental music, and the exchange dynamics of multi-player sound objects. In 2017, they worked with MASS MoCA to restore instruments built by composer and luthier Gunnar Schonbeck, and later created replicas of Schonbeck’s “triangular cellos” for Bennington College. Crawford has led and participated in instrument-building workshops at The Cooper Union, Connecticut College, the Bennington Museum, and Carnegie Hall (with Bash the Trash), and has worked for ten years as a guitar repair technician. Eternities is a collaboration between bass clarinetist Katie Porter and sound artist Bob Bellerue. Our work is inspired by deep presence, resonant feedback, melodic drone, and overtone magic, in the fluid realm between intention and indeterminacy. We use harmonic tones from wind instruments played within feedback systems to create multidimensional spectral drone. Invisible Scissors is an experimental duo formed out of NYC's underground film community. Rachael Guma (theremin, effects) and Sarah Halpern (electric guitar, voice) are long-time collaborators with works culminating in film, performance, zines and music. Invisible Scissors is the newest manifestation of this evolving collaborative work.
