Owen Green
Owen Green is an improviser, composer, performer, and systems-maker. He does unspeakable things with cardboard and machine listening technologies, as well as more speakable things alongside other humans, such as John Bowers and the groups RawGreenRust (with Jules Rawlinson and Dave Murray Rust) and Sileni (with Ali Maloney). Owen has worked as a Research Fellow in Creative Coding at the University of Huddersfield on the Fluid Corpus Manipulation project, which aims to help other people do things with machine listening.
Wobbly
Jon Leidecker (aka Wobbly) is a human in the loop, making music with people and machines that listen. Improvising with recorded sounds, his emphasis on live performance blurs any clear distinction between his solo and collaborative work, which includes touring and recording with Negativland, the Thurston Moore Group, Jennifer Walshe, Zoh Amba, Dieter Moebius & Tim Story, Matmos, People Like Us, Fred Frith, Tania Chen, Sagan and Huun-Huur-Tu. Labels that have released his music include Hausu Mountain, Illegal Art, Deathbomb Arc, Bureau B. His lectures on the secret histories of electronic music have been presented at Mills, Stanford, Oxford, UC Berkeley / Davis / Santa Cruz, MACBA and Peabody Conservatory. In 2015 he inherited Negativland’s long-running Over The Edge radio live mix program, which continues to broadcast KPFA FM in Berkeley.
