Collectively, they have premiered work by many composers including Jonathan Marmor, Quentin Tolimieri, Jason Ajemian, André Cormier, Tim Parkinson, Michael Pisaro, Craig Shepard, and Larry Polansky. Devin is currently working on a PhD in music composition at the University of Utah while making new music for Svavar Jónatansson’s photo documentary of the Utah Salt Flats, Jessica Gaynor Dance, and the Skyros Quartet. Katie’s recent projects include performing in Arthur Russell’s Instrumentals, Daniel Goode’s Flexible Orchestra, Peter Gordon’s Love of Life Orchestra and on recordings of Michael Pisaro’s Asleep, Street, Pipes, Tones and Craig Shepard’s On Foot Brookyn released by Wandelweiser Records.
