Jeremiah Cymerman is a composer and clarinetist based in New York City since 2002.  He has been fortunate to present his work in many of the city’s most respected venues for experimental performance including Roulette, Issue Project Room, the Stone & Anthology Film Archives.  Described by Time Out New York as “one of Downtown’s most resourceful and inventive composer-performers” Cymerman has worked with a broad range of contemporary artists including Jandek, Otomo Yoshihide, John Zorn, Nate Wooley, Evan Parker, Matthew Welch, Jessica Pavone, Anthony Coleman, Toby Driver, Peter Evans, Mary Halvorson and many others.  His recorded output has been documented on the Tzadik, Porter and Solponticello record labels.

The work of Toby Driver explores an enormous spectrum of styles, including rock, metal, electronica, soundtrack, weird pop, jazz, ambient, funk, folk, new age, modern classical, noise, and experimental. As mastermind of seminal bands Kayo Dot and maudlin of the Well his primary interest in music has always been escapism and the power of music to completely remove the mind and soul from the physical world. Dreams have forever played an integral role in his aesthetic, a fact which has led him to passionately explore that world scientifically and spiritually through literature and practice.
