Charlie
Williams
[composition, piano, production]
With roots in modern classical performance and composition, Williams' music merges the exploratory traditions of the avant-garde with the energy and passion of rock, electronic, and related music. His wide-ranging instrumental talents and intuitive command of electronic media work together to form a distinctive, evolving style that has earned recognition across North America and Europe. Having exhausted his lifetime quota of days spent sitting by himself in a room practicing classical piano, Williams' current projects explore the possibilities inherent in the reconnection of "art" music and popular genres. His 2005 album Midnight for You with his group Mira Mira was praised as "pop music for thoughtful people" and "raw, indie pop in its truest form".
David Schmüdde [production, composition, synth magic] is a director and composer living in Chicago, IL. Recently he has worked with Feeling Films to co-direct and score three
movies which went on to play multiple film festivals throughout the
United States and receive press attention from Chicago Public Radio and
The Chicago Reader. Other recent performances include a membership in
the Lucid Dream Ensemble, a live electronic music/visual quartet that
performed at locations such as the Chicago Museum of Contemporary Art
and at Seamus 2003 in Tempe, AZ. He has also spent 4 years as a dancer
and choreographer with the BLAST dance group. He currently plays in the chamber-pop band Mira Mira and sings gospel with the
Evanston North Shore Community Choir. Other projects in production
include a documentary, a feature length drama and
co-choreographing/composing a nuevo tango piece for performance. He
holds a faculty position at the Illinois Institute of Art.
