<div><b>February ReSiDeNts Announced</b></div>
<div><b>March Submissions Now Open</b></div>
<div><br></div>
<div>We are happy to announce our second group of ReSiDeNts, who will
be creating new works at LEMUR in February:</div>
<div><b><br></b></div>
<div><b>Holland Hopson</b> is a composer, improviser, and electronic
artist. Holland will bring Old-Time Appalachia to the League of
Electronic Musical Urban Robots by creating new pieces for the
LEMURbots and Tru One, his clawhammer banjo/sensor interface.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div><b>Zach Layton</b> is a composer, improviser, curator and new
media artist based in new york with an interest in biofeedback,
generative algorithms, experimental music, biomimicry and
contemporary architectural practice. His work investigates complex
relationships and topologies created through the interaction of
simple core elements like sine waves, minimal surfaces and kinetic
visual patterns. He is planning to create a new work for guitar, sax,
drums plus robots. The piece will be composed using an open score
format encouraging improvisation among the human players and neural
network software to encourage improvisation among the robots.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div><b>Max Lord</b> is a percussionist who will be writing a new
piece for the LEMUR robots in collaboration with NYC-based
choreographer<b> Ellen Godena</b>. The score will integrate a live
performance on the Marimba Lumina with robot percussion and
spontaneous robot-inspired movement.</div>
