Tim Parkinson (b.1973) has consistently pursued an independent path, seeking to engage with whatever it means today to be a functioning composer in the world. His work has been described as "reconstructing music from the ground up", a prefigurative music living in the present environment of data blizzard, discarded consumption, recycled packaging, disused signage, and the hybrid forms and deserted spaces left in the wake of the technological rampage and information deluge. He has been associated with other British-based independent voices of the same generation, such as Bailie, Harrison, Kontz, Lely, Miller, Newland, Saunders, Shlomowitz, Whitty, and is a long-standing figure on the London scene.
Travis Just is a composer. His music often uses text, objects, and gesture in addition to instruments, voice, and electronics. He has composed many evening-length pieces, primarily for Object Collection. These include films, operas, live-video, and a wide variety of performance and music. Pieces include Problem Radical(s) (2009), Innova (2011), Actua 1 (2011), NO HOTEL (2013), cheap&easy OCTOBER (2015), It’s All True (2016), You Are Under Our Space Control (2019) Look Out Shithead, Episodes 1-3 (2020-2022), as well as numerous hybrid performance pieces and individual musical works. Travis is active as an improviser. His music has been released on Slip/Warp, a wave press, khalija, and Infrequent Seams. Writings in Arcana, Tempo, and the Experimental Music Yearbook. Commissions by Bergen National Opera/Borealis Festival, Ernst von Siemens Musikstiftung, MAP Fund, and NYSCA. Travis worked for Richard Foreman’s Ontological-Hysteric Theater, assisted La Monte Young, and adapted Robert Ashley’s music for the stage. He is co-director of Object Collection.
