Walt Whitman Death Mask is Ben Bontempo, a student based in Western Massachusetts, who imbues his rhythmic noise with the improvisatory energy and language of clown and mask play.
“Ben plays stuff, wears ski masks, speaks in tongues.”

Colin Sanderson is a student at Marymount Manhattan College. He has played in numerous bands, most notably AS IS, a group that dabbles in an eclectic mix of post-punk, ska, progressive rock, free improv and even the classic rock of Led Zeppelin. In his own music, Colin is interested in exploring the intersection between the post-psychedelic sonic exploration that emerged in the late 1960s and early 70s (as exemplified by Terry Riley, Can, Miles Davis, Fripp and Eno, and Peter Gabriel-era Genesis) and the more recent experiments of Naked City, Mr. Bungle, the Boredoms, the Ruins, and Tortoise. For this performance, Colin will perform a short Mississippi John Hurt-inspired piece for electric guitar, as well as a longer solo improvisation with guitar, sampler, and drum machine.

Noah Modie is a self taught guitarist and experiment conductor currently studying experimental music at Simon’s Rock College of Bard. He will be accompanied by drummer John Snyder, and fellow weirdo Cy Gengras. They will be performing a veritable extravaganza of musical delights, ranging from more sparse noise oriented sections, introspective solo guitar, and finally, some straight up heavy shit.
