Artist Bios

Scott Rubin is an interdisciplinary artist and improvising violist whose work interrogates relationships between sound and movement through analog and digital means. His recent projects have involved collaborations with musicians and dancers, often incorporating interactive acoustic/electronic improvisation, expanded performance practices, motion-sensors, and live video. In these projects, he engages themes of intimacy, control, and the sublime.

Hali Palombo is an avid practitioner of “plunderphonics”: sampling existing musical/aural works and intertwining them into something brand new, whether it’s shortwave radio and CB radio samples, wax cylinder audio, and field recordings taken from Midwestern points of interest. She also draws great inspiration from endless adventures throughout the country - be them on Google Maps or in her car - often photographing, filming or drawing her findings.

Palombo began making work at age 26, and despite getting somewhat of a late start for an artist, she has amassed a lush body of varied and careful work. Her influences include Philip Glass, Flannery O’connor, Jorge Luis Borges, and FermiLab National Accelerator Laboratory in Batavia, IL (she would like her ashes scattered there someday, hopefully not anytime soon). “Hali Palombo will be playing ambient music constructed entirely from 1970s and 1980s Japanese “Idol” groups.”
