Ishmael Ali

Hugo Flores Garcia

This month’s CLEAT Series features solo performances from Veronica Anne Salinas, Hugo Flores Garcia, Ishmael Ali. Ishmael will present solo cello and electronics in 4 voices. This project explores the relationship between acoustic and electronic sounds using interplay between cello, sp404 sampler, a synth voice, and radio automated through CLEAT's 16 channel system.

Hugo Flores García (he/they) is a Honduran computer musician, improviser, programmer, and scientist. Hugo approaches his craft with a deep curiosity for the interplay between natural and human-made sonic environments and interactions. Their hybrid research+creative practice centers around building new instruments for creative expression, focusing on artist-centered machine-learning interfaces for the sound arts. Hugo will perform with (un)sound objects, a co-creative neural musical instrument for constructing live environments comprised of sonic objects, both sound and unsound, in and at the rough edges of an AI model's learned distribution.

Veronica Anne Salinas is a Chicago-based sound artist, writer, editor, and Deep Listener. Her work explores artistic research through sound, text scores, performance, improvisation, geomancy, field recordings, archives, soundwalks, and experimental narratives.
