Fan Letters – Dylan Neely: Violin and Electronics, Alex Nathanson: Video and Electronics
Jon Myers: Percussion and Electronics
Fan Letters creates intricate live performances with a combination of found, video, computer programming and handmade electronic instruments. Their work employs a variety of aesthetic and conceptual approaches, oscillating between noise and chamber music, from experimental cinema to Saturday morning cartoons, and complex political negotiations to school-yard games. The pieces are performed through a mix of traditional instruments, such as the violin and video projector, and experimental controllers, which can include bicycle wheels and flashlights, among other materials.
Jon Myers is a composer and percussionist with degrees from Weslyan and Mills College. He splits his time between Oakland, CA and Brooklyn, NY. Recent collaborators have included William Winant, Taurin Barrera, and Bill Baird.
