About the Artists:

MATTHEW D. GANTT is an artist, composer, and educator focused on sound in virtual spaces, generative systems facilitated by idiosyncratic technology, and digital production presets as sonic readymades. He worked as a studio assistant to electronic music pioneer Morton Subotnick, and has been an active participant in the international creative community, presenting or performing at spaces such as Pioneer Works, Issue Project Room, Roulette, Babycastles, SVA Visible Futures Lab, Panoply Performance Laboratory, EMPAC, the Wrong Biennale, and countless DIY venues across North America.
Gantt releases music with Orange Milk and Oxtail Recordings, and teaches experimental music and media at both institutional and grassroots spaces, including Harvestworks, CUNY Brooklyn, Bard College, Sarah Lawrence, and a variety of community workshops aimed at creating equitable access to developing technologies. Gantt’s work has been featured in The Wire magazine, Pop Matters, Exclaim!, Tiny Mix Tapes, Bandcamp New and Notable, the Brooklyn Rail and similar.

JOSHUE OTT is an award-winning visualist and experiential designer whose distinct visual work, cinematic improvisations and composed evolving images have been performed live and projected in large-scale at Mutek, Carnegie Hall, Ars Electronica, Baryshnikov Art Center, Visiones Sonoras (Mexico) and Gyeonggi Media Performance Festival (South Korea). Supple yet digital, ephemeral but instantly memorable, Ott renders sound into vision, yielding an immersive multi-sensory experience that is at once immediate and synergistic: a unique visual narrative born in the moment. Ott has been a resident artist with Eyebeam (NYC) and Times Square Arts, and is a recipient of the 2022 NYFA Fellowship for Architecture and Environmental Design. Ott creates hand-drawn forms manipulated in real-time using superDraw, a software instrument of his own design. Ott is also the creator of several popular iPhone apps: Thicket, 3Draw, snowDrift, Pitch Painter with Morton Subotnick, and the Variant series. He currently runs Interval Studios, a small software development company specializing in time-based interactive experiences.

The Low Pass is a non-profit organization focused on making art and technology more accessible through cultural and educational events. In addition to the Sound Studio concert series, we also organize “ambient open mic” where electronic musicians both new and established come to share their work in a fun and low-stakes environment. For those interested in learning how to make electronic music, we regularly offer donation-based workshops in the city. Follow us on Instagram for regular updates (@thelowpass).
