Come support Roulette (its our 30th birthday!) with this Roulette
Benefit Improv Night curated by maverick cellist Okkyung Lee. Some of
New York's finest in a rare group performance!



A native of Korea, Okkyung Lee has been developing her own voice
incontemporary cello performance, improvisation and composition. Using
her solid classical training as a springboard, she incorporates jazz,
sounds, korean traditional music, and noise with extended techniques
to create her unique blend of music. Okkyung has released her debut
album, Nihm on Tzadik; a duo recording with Christian Marclay on My
Cat is an Alien label's split LP series; and a solo cello album I saw
the Ghost of an Unknown Soul and it Said… to be released on Thurston
Moore's Ecstatic Peace label in 2007.

Marina Rosenfeld is a noted composer, improviser and artist whose
works have been commissioned in recent years by the Whitney Biennial
2008 and 2002; Creative Time; Tate Modern; The Kitchen; Artists Space;
Contemporary Jewish Museum; Electronic Music Foundation and many
others. Frequent collaborators include Christian Marclay, DJ Olive,
Lee Ranaldo, George Lewis, Ikue Mori and Kaffe Matthews, among many
others.

Miya Masaoka resides in New York City and is a classically trained
musician, composer and sound/installation artist. She has created
works for solo koto, laser interfaces, laptop and video. She also has
made works for sculpture installations and written scores for
ensembles, chamber orchestra and mixed choirs. In her pieces, she
often works with the sonification of data, and maps the behavior of
brain activity, plants and insect movement to sound.

Seth Cluett (b. 1976, Troy, NY) is a composer and visual artist whose
work includes photography, drawing, video, sound installation, concert
music, performance, and theoretical writing. His pieces are an
exploration of the role of sound in everyday life. Operating at the
boundary between the auditory and other senses, his work engages
sound's ability to be both collectively shared and distinctly
personal. Many of his pieces investigate the acoustic signature of
specific locations, where sound is experienced as an activity (audio
tourism), architectural property, or as geological process.
