About
Faculty Lounge is a electro-acoustic free-improvisation collective comprising Ethan Marks, Erin Demastes, Iris Sidikman, Josh Westerman, and Thomas Sturm. They mix unconventional and DIY sound makers, acoustic instruments, live coding, and feedback. They met at CalArts in Fall 2017 and have since performed together several times at CalArts, including the Digital Arts Expo, as well as at the South Pasadena Music Center. In April 2017, they performed a full live-scoring of The Passion of Joan of Arc (1928).
