Regan Bowering is a percussionist, improviser and sound artist based in London. Her solo work explores various combinations of drums and percussion, objects, amps, speakers, and feedback. Her debut album “Solos for _ _ _ _ Spaces” (Dec 2023 on Bezirk Tapes) was described as “a play of contrasts, contradicting voluminous expressions with confined phrases, taming resounding feedback with faint percussive flutters, but one that feels driven by the desire to craft electrifying drama rather than pure autotelic dissonance.” (The Quietus). She is one third of a collaborative project with Li Song and Conal Blake, with two releases: “2 Movements” (Feedback Moves, 2024) and "Music for Snare Drums and Portable Speakers" (Infant Tree, 2023). Her debut LP “A Technology of Feeling” was released January 2026 on Infant Tree.
Lauren Tosswill is a sound artist and performer from the coast of Maine. She uses language, voice, and objects as a means to complicate and undermine comprehension, construct absurdity, and engage in live, relational exchange with collaborators and the audience. She has been creating original sound and performance works for over a decade.
Her debut solo album, my home in the year, was released on enmossed (US) in 2018. She released 1, 2 on Hard Return (UK) in 2022. Her work also appears on the 2019 vinyl compilation Hotline, alongside artists including Raven Chacon.
Tosswill’s sound and video work has been presented at institutions including Fridman Gallery, the Baltimore Museum of Art, the Institute for Contemporary Art at VCU, the University of New England, Carnegie Mellon University, and the Portland Museum of Art. She has performed at festivals of experimental music including Savage Weekend, Ende Tymes, E Cubed, Buddy Fest, New England Underground Festival, and Hassle Fest. Her work has also been presented in livestream performances for Overtoon, Sonorium, Boston Hassle, Non-Event, Experimental Sound Studio, and The Wire.
She holds an MFA in Music/Sound from the Milton Avery Graduate School of the Arts at Bard College.
