∆ Melon Sprout makes noise with handmade ceramic instruments and real time audio processing. Melon’s ceramic instruments include shakerboxes, drums, trumpets, and flutes, ranging in size from hand-held shaker boxes to monolithic drums and trumpets. Melon’s ceramic instruments are amplified and electronically processed through highly specialized effects and complex signal paths which emphasize the unique resonance and percussive nature of ceramic instruments.

∆ Grace DeVies
Grace DeVies is a queer trans*sexual performance artist broadcasting vulnerability and intimacy through moments of facilitated connection. Playing with subjects of abjection and perversion, he fabricates a mirror for the audience, giving them permission to reflect upon themselves. Driven to dismantle and transcend binaries, DeVies threatens these institutions through practicing gender fuckery and displaying, confusing, and eliminating power dynamics. He finds inspiration in the hol(e)y, in continuity, and in practices of kink and risk-aware informed consent, creating art to serve as an act of love and a religious experience.
