Tune in during the 4 p.m. hour for a live in-studio performance and interview with Matthew Ryals and Stephan Haluska by Theo Baker, host of WGXC show "Infinite Contact," and WGXC's Programming Manager Meredith Kooi. Ryals and Haluska perform at Avalon Lounge at 8 p.m. Then, during the 5 p.m. hour, Wave Farm Assistant Director Bianca Biberaj and Meredith Kooi interview current Wave Farm Artists-in-Residence Andreas Zißler + Fabian Lanzmaier.

Matthew Ryals (he, him) is a synthesist, composer, improviser, and educator based in Brooklyn, NY. His music explores improvisation, generative composition, chance, cybernetics, and unfixed forms & release formats. His uniquely tactile approach to the modular synthesizer embraces unusual & extended techniques. Recent accolades include receiving a '22-'23 New Music USA Award & '21 IEA Electronic Media Residency. Matthew has released on Oxtail Recordings, sound as language, SØVN, 3OP, dingn\dents, & other labels. He’s the co-curator of the Brooklyn-based experimental music series, Artifact.

Cleveland-based harpist, improviser, and composer Stephan Haluska (he/they) draws from the instrument’s unique textural, percussive, and physical qualities. Through an advanced vocabulary of extended techniques, preparations, and electronics, Stephan seeks new ways to expand his sound palette, as heard on releases on Infrequent Seams and Constellation Tatsu. As managing director, Stephan leads Cleveland Uncommon Sound Project (CUSP), dedicated to strengthening the artistic engagement of the Northeast Ohio community by championing the creation and performance of new and experimental music. Stephan is on faculty at Case Western Reserve University, where he teaches digital music composition.
