Composer and videographer Kristin Miltner is a graduate of Mills College, where she studied and developed a compositional method for music employing direct contact with video images. She also designs software used for performing her music live. Though she makes music primarily with computers, she also sings and plays piano.

She released her debut solo album, Grains, in 2007 on Prae, and followed it with Music for Dreaming and Playing, the eighth volume in Asthmatic Kitty's Library Catalog Music Series.
Luciano Chessa
Luciano Chessa is active as a composer, performer, and conductor. His scores are published by RAI TRADE and Carrara and have been performed in Europe, U.S., and Australia. Recent compositions include "Squeeze! Squeeze! Squeeze!," a large work written for the quartertone vibe/ quartertone electric guitar duo The Living Earth Show, and "A Heavenly Act," an opera with video by Kalup Linzy commissioned by SFMOMA for Ensemble Parallèle. Chessa is the author of "Luigi Russolo, Futurist" (University of California Press), the first English monograph dedicated to Russolo's Art of Noises. His Futurist expertise resulted in a commission by NYC's Biennial PERFORMA to direct the first reconstruction of Russolo's intonarumori orchestra and to curate/conduct concerts which received a 'Best of 2009' mention in The New York Times. In March 2011, Chessa conducted a sold-out intonarumori concert for Berliner Festspiele-Maerzmusik Festival; in December, for Art Basel | Miami Beach, he conducted the New World Symphony + Lee Ranaldo in the premiere of Ranaldo's It All Begins Now! Chessa teaches at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music, and collaborates with SF's Italian Cultural Institute.
Dean Santomieri
Dean Santomieri has worked with tape & electronic music for many years.
Lately his focus has concentrated upon the modern classical guitar
repertoire, particularly minimalism. Since his work with the multimedia
duo Donkey Boy, in the early nineties, his performing has also included
spoken word. His stories and narrative pieces are often derived from his
dreams or constructed from word games, as his use of mesostics with
musicians Suki O'Kane and Michael Zelner, in the group I Franzen, and he's currently active in a duo with violinist Thea Farhadian.
