LEMUR's second ReSiDeNt show is this Friday, February 29th, featuring 

Holland Hopson, Zach Layton and Max Lord + Ellen Godena.

January's show was a blast, with great works by Joshua Goldberg, Drew 

Krause and Taylor Kuffner, with 200 people in attendance. It also 

spawned the first ReSiDeNt collaboration project - LEMUR and Taylor 

will be working together to make a permanent robo-gamelan, with an 

NYC debut show to be announced shortly thereafter.

ReSiDeNt shows take place at LEMUR on the last Friday of each month.

ReSiDeNt @ LEMUR: New Works, New Instruments, New Artists

461 Third Avenue between 9th & 10th Sts., Brooklyn

Holland Hopson 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 LEMUR bots and 

Tru One, his clawhammer banjo/sensor interface.

Zach Layton 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. His 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.

Max Lord is a percussionist who will be writing a new piece for the 

LEMUR robots in collaboration with NYC-based choreographer Ellen 

Godena. The score will integrate a live performance on the Marimba 

Lumina with robot percussion and spontaneous robot-inspired movement.

Our third group of ReSiDeNts is a big one, including two teams of 

collaborators. They will be creating new works at LEMUR in March to 

R. Luke DuBois is a composer, performer, video artist and programmer. 

He has collaborated on interactive performance, installation, and 

music production work with many artists and organizations including 

Toni Dove, Matthew Ritchie, Todd Reynolds, Michael Joaquin Grey, 

Elliott Sharp, Michael Gordon, Bang on a Can, Engine27, Harvestworks 

and LEMUR. Lesley Flanigan is a sculptor, vocalist, curator, and 

sound artist in New York City. Her diverse range of work explores 

relationships between people and their inventions using metaphors of 

sound, communication, and mechanics. Their plan is to play the robots 

by using transducers to resonate and damp their sound.

Fascinated by details and interested in exploring alternative and 

seemingly bizarre human computer relations, Hannah Perner-Wilson 

indulges in breaking technologies down to a basic level, from which 

she is able to develop her own interaction solutions and scenarios. 

Mika Satomi is interested in exploring the concept of an urban body 

extension in the realm of wearable technology. Their previous 

collaborations have explored wearable technology as a medium for 

commenting on technological and social aspects. They propose to map a 

verbal language onto motion captured from a performer's body and to 

feed back auditory output, resulting in a dialog between performer 

Jay Alan Zimmerman is an experimental multimedia composer whose works 

for dance, film, and theater have been shown in hundreds of venues 

including art galleries, Lincoln Center, the Edinburgh Fringe 

Festival and the Pompidou Center in Paris. With both classical music 

training and a BFA in Film from Tisch/NYU, he stretches boundaries by 

working with diverse collaborators including instrumentalists, 

Broadway singers, aerial performers, visual artists, drag queens and 

now robots. In addition, as Jay has become deaf to most sound, he 

plans to create a visual symphony during his residency.

Artists from all performing and installation disciplines are 

encouraged to apply to ReSiDeNt, including musicians, composers, 

dancers, choreographers, video artists, interactive installation 

artists, performance artists, multimedia artists and others. To learn 

Deadlines are rolling, with April submissions accepted until March
