Lindsey Walker - voice, electronic processing
Lindsey Walker uses stompbox live looping, effects pedals, and voice to investigate harmonics and classical composition structure as it relates to live and recorded parts in real time.
Lindsey Walker has a background in textiles, photography, styling, painting, classical piano, clarinet, mandolin, folk singing, digital and analog sound synthesis as well as stompbox live looping. Regardless of her engagement in the arts, she considers herself a machine operator of sorts using transparent layers of breath and voice as input to build sonic textures. Her B.A. in Psychology from University of California, Davis informs her exploration of perception and communication where the human senses and technology meet. Lindsey was the first artist from the United States to contribute audio to Nat Grant's international blogging project "Momentum," in 2012. In 2008, the Y2K International Live Looping Festival in Santa Cruz, CA nominated her as, "Newbie of the Year."

kyle bruckmann - electronics
lance grabmiller - electronics
The new duo of Mchtnchts consists of Kyle Bruckmann and Lance Grabmiller, both working solely within the realm of analogue synthesis. After spending many years as active members of the Bay Area music community, especially under the guise of shudder (with Phillip Greenlief), the duo have finally been able to bring their love of analogue gear and sounds together. By turns sublime and brutal, electricity is bent beneath their fingers to form vast soundscapes and minute figures for your enjoyment.
