Spoken word artist Dan Gutstein’s commentary on the project:   https://dangutstein.blogspot.com/2018/01/microphone-mayhem-my-two-months-as.html
Heterodyne was featured in the Washington Post’s August 26, 2018 “Going Out Guide” (https://goo.gl/Mw6ros); the article stemmed from an earlier account on DC’s musical scene:  https://goo.gl/pxx7Tf. Tristan Welch (http://tristanwelch.bandcamp.com) is a musician/artist/activist based in the Washington D.C. metropolitan area that focuses on creating soundscapes via electric guitar.  Over the years Tristan has become fascinated with the idea of minimalism, ambience and atmosphere.  In June 2016 he released a Cassette E.P. titled Washington D.C. Side 1 titled D and Side 2 titled C. Each side focuses on one primary note (D and C) - layering these notes in different forms to create a listenable texture. After performing locally Tristan teamed up with an established saxophone player, Ron Oshima. In an effort to document and establish a resistance to the current social and political climate - they went into the studio together on Election Day 2016 (after voting in the morning) to record a three song album. The record is titled God Bless America and the title reflects all three songs. God is played in the key of G, Bless is played in B and America in A. In a press release they made it clear "We are not nationalists and we can all use a little help".  Recent performances have been focused on new songs that are slated for a 2019 release by Verses Records titled 40 Hours. The focus of the record being a mission to 'Abolish Work'.  http://tristanwelch.bandcamp.com Místochord (https://mistochord.com/) Washington DC’s Bill Crandall (ex-guitarist for Dot Dash, Adam West, Modest Proposal) creates unique singer-songwriter  music - an expressive, atmospheric mix of indie-folk, psychedelia, pop, and rock - under the artist name Místochord. His 2016 debut album New World Voyage is a concept album, combining music and photography to imagine the first people to leave Earth for another planet. WAMU’s Ally Schweitzer called it “guitar pop for the Mars generation”. A Pessimist is Never Disappointed music blog said “this is US chamber pop of the very best sort, more trippy than ornate though. The overall effect is haunting.” In a live setting, Crandall performs the material as stripped-down acoustic, including songs from his latest in-progress work that he calls “love songs from the end of the world”.

Core performers
Maria Shesiuk is an experimental improviser from Baltimore. She uses vintage Casio keyboards manipulated through various effects for live experimental music improvisations. Recently she also started composing electronic music using Moog synthesizers, manipulated vocals, and field recordings. In addition, her musical journey included playing guitar, bass guitar, and jazz piano lessons. In the last two years her devotion to experimental music exploration has taken on a more central role. 
Maria comes from a family of classically trained musicians. She started out on the same path by playing classical piano as a child in Ukraine in a musical school for the gifted. She also spent many evenings along side her father during rehearsals when he was the chief conductor of Kyrgyz National Opera, and Ballet theatre. At age 11 Maria moved to the U.S. with her family and circumstances shifted her focus to athletics, but music remained her biggest passion. In 2010 Maria moved to Baltimore from Detroit to complete graduate school in Physician Assistant studies. After graduating she jumped back into music. She discovered Baltimore’s Volunteers’ Collective and became a regular there. She always wanted to compose, but it took her many years to find her voice.  The Volunteers’ Collective has helped her do just that. 
Maria was featured in the 2017 High Zero Festival of Experimental Improvised Music  (http://www.highzero.org/ )
T. A. Zook (https://goo.gl/svtpQ) is based in Arlington, VA.   Ms. Shesiuk and Mr. Zook because acquainted at Volunteers Collective improvisation sessions, which provided the catalyst  for Heterodyne’s formation.  Mr. Zook is co-founder of the Lost Civilizations experimental music project (https://goo.gl/OznNw);  Chimiak & Zook ( https://goo.gl/YYNKlW ); and Rosati and Zook (https://goo.gl/8SmFnj).
Mr.  Zook is primarily a nylon-string guitarist; however, in live performances he more commonly plays an NS Design Omni Bass, set up as a basscello,  through digital signal processors.  In 2016, Mr. Zook was awarded Steinberger Artist status.  At studio sessions, he also plays a variety of digitally-processed, non-traditional analog instruments such as bowls, rainsticks, slidewhistle, whistle-flutes, oceanharp, etc.
An Avant Music News interview with Mr. Zook is posted at  http://goo.gl/5LdYos; audio interviews are posted at https://goo.gl/RsPbR9 and  https://goo.gl/ZVvF4l .
Mr.  Zook began his study of the guitar in Chile and Uruguay (the latter under the guidance of Luis Acosta), and continued upon his return to the U.S. in the early 1960s under Sophocles Papas (classical)(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sophocles_Papas  ) and Frank Mullen (jazz)(http://goo.gl/6E3eir  ; http://goo.gl/niQTYd  ).  From 1999 through 2012, he studied improvisation under David Darling (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Darling_(musician)  ; http://www.daviddarling.com/; http://www.musicianguide.com/biographies/1608003038/David-Darling.html  ), a study which continues under the auspices of the Music for People organization (http://musicforpeople.org/wp/ ), which conferred him Honorary Graduate certification in 2011.
During the early 1970s, Mr. Zook had the privilege of working with keyboardist (B-3 & Lawrence Audio electric piano)/singer Larry Buck, who was very supportive in his development as a musician.
Mr. Zook has frequently performed in the Sonic Circuits Festival of Experimental Music (http://dc-soniccircuits.org/).
Mr. Zook is fortunate beyond his ability to express in words for the opportunities that he has had to work with so many accomplished and kind musicians and artists, as well as for the support by audiences for the music that comes through him, thanks to the Muse!
Guest Performers
Patrick Whitehead (https://goo.gl/zfzDxw ) was inspired by the music of Louis Armstrong at age 5.   At age 8, he began playing in his school band.  His broad and varied career spans the decades as a soloist, orchestral, chamber, opera, commercial, and improvising musician.
Possessing a great fondness of brass chamber music, he founded The Monumental Brass Quintet (http://goo.gl/G5PMCO ) and has recorded and toured extensively throughout the U.S. with this ensemble.
As a free-lance trumpeter, Pat’s performed with orchestras at the Kennedy Center and Constitution Hall. He’s also performed with the Annapolis Symphony, Baltimore Symphony, Gettysburg Symphony, the Annapolis Opera, Baltimore Opera,  and Concert Artists of Baltimore,.  Additionally, Pat has recorded for the PBS and ABC television networks, Voice of America, and has performed on numerous radio and TV programs.
In June of 2014 Patrick performed as part of the Momentary Quartet comprised, Jane Buttars- piano, Lin Foulk - horn, and Harold Mckinney- piano  at the annual conference of The International Society for Improvised Music in New York City.
Pat serves on the faculties, as instructor of trumpet, at the Baltimore School for the Arts and the Levine School of Music in Washington DC.  For several years he served as Coordinator of Brass Chamber Music and Director of Trumpet Ensembles at the Levine School.  Additionally, he has taught trumpet and brass methods at Mount Vernon College and the Community College of Baltimore.
Through his involvement (since 2003) with Music for People, Pat has become an avid proponent of improvised music.  As he progressed through MfP’s Music Leadership Program, he’s evolved as a passionate and dynamic facilitator of improvised music workshops. He has presented improv workshops at the Peabody Conservatory’s Prep Division.  The Summer Brass Institute hosted by Monumental Brass, the Howard and Montgomery County Maryland public schools, and at various venues in the central Maryland area.
Pat studied trumpet with George Recker, Rob Roy McGregor, and Langston Fitzgerald.  He studied theory and arranging with Asher Zlotnik.  Pat majored in music education at the University of Maryland where he studied trumpet with Emerson Head.
Bob Boilen (https://goo.gl/FhLJTk ) In 1988, a determined Bob Boilen started showing up on NPR's doorstep every day, looking for a way to contribute his skills in music and broadcasting to the network. His persistence paid off, and within a few weeks he was hired, on a temporary basis, to work for All Things Considered. Less than a year later, Boilen was directing the show and continued to do so for the next 18 years.
Significant listener interest in the music being played on All Things Considered, along with his and NPR's vast music collections, gave Boilen the idea to start All Songs Considered. "It was obvious to me that listeners of NPR were also lovers of music, but what also became obvious by 1999 was that the web was going to be the place to discover new music and that we wanted to be the premiere site for music discovery." The show launched in 2000, with Boilen as its host.
Before coming to NPR, Boilen found many ways to share his passion for music. From 1982 to 1986 he worked for Baltimore's Impossible Theater, where he held many posts, including composer, technician, and recording engineer. Boilen became part of music history in 1983 with the Impossible Theater production Whiz Bang, a History of Sound. In it, Boilen became one of the first composers to use audio sampling — in this case, sounds from nature and the industrial revolution. He was interviewed about Whiz Bang by Susan Stamberg on All Things Considered.
In 1985, the Washington City Paper voted Boilen 'Performance Artist of the Year.' An electronic musician, he received a grant from the Washington D.C. Commission on the Arts and Humanities to work on electronic music and performance.
After Impossible Theater, Boilen worked as a producer for a television station in Washington, D.C. He produced several projects, including a music video show. In 1997, he started producing an online show called Science Live for the Discovery Channel. He also put out two albums with his psychedelic band, Tiny Desk Unit, during the late 1970s and early 1980s. Boilen still composes and performs music and posts it for free on his website BobBoilen.info . He performs contradance music and has a podcast of contradance music that he produces with his son Julian.
Boilen's first book, Your Song Changed My Life, was published in April 2016 by HarperCollins.
Doug Kallmeyer spends much of his time on the road mixing bands which have included Blonde Redhead, School of Seven Bells, and currently with Phantogram (recently returned from a tour to Iceland and Europe).  Add to that list more live work with notable artists including Shellac, Sunny Day Real Estate and Rancid. Both local to the Washington D.C. metropolitan area and on the road, a career which has numbered live shows in the thousands, and continues. His last release, 2005′s “Even Calls” (EM:T, 2005, 302acid) was a group foray into ambient textures which received rave reviews in publications like the UK’s WIRE magazine, and resulted in tours throughout the US and Europe. His most current project, Dubpixels (http://www.dubpixel.com/ ) expands upon modern and classic aesthetics in dubwise music production to include audio and video.(http://www.facebook.com/Dubpixels ; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/302_Acid ; http://sesshinnofi.wordpress.com/ ; http://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Mantis/125299140867441 ).
Jerry Busher has been a fixture of the DC music scene for over 20 years. He toured for 8 years with Fugazi playing 2nd drums/percussion as well as on recordings “The Argument” and “Furniture”. He appears on albums by Fidelity Jones, The Spinanes, French Toast, Allscars, Alfonso Velez and John Frusciante. In 2007, he was the “Foley Artist” for Mabou Mines production “Peter and Wendy” at Arena Stage. Jerry worked on the music for the “Winchester” series featured in the 2000 Whitney Biennial, the Oscar-nominated documentary “The Weather Underground”, and is the composer for the film “Frontrunner” (The story of a female presidential candidate in Afghanistan). Recently Jerry has been touring/recording with ESL artist Federico Aubele and working on the “Fugazi Live” series.  Jerry is currently the drummer for Deathfix (http://deathfix.com/),  which has recently returned from a European tour.   A fascinating interview with Jerry is posted at http://traffic.libsyn.com/dissonance/Dissonance_2-12-14_Jerry_Busher.mp3 ; Jerry was also interviewed on WERA-FM’s “Stagecraft”:  https://www.mixcloud.com/alex-vidales/stagecraft-with-alex-vidales-don-zientara-featuring-jerry-busher/. Sarah Hughes (http://www.sarahmariehughes.com/) is based in Baltimore.  Sarah is an alto saxophonist, composer, improviser, educator, and art adventurer hailing from Maryland.  She obtained her MM in Jazz Saxophone at the New England Conservatory in May of 2015 and currently freelances in and around Maryland, DC, Virginia, and New York. Sarah graduated with a bachelor’s degree in music education from the University of Maryland in 2008. While there she studied privately with world-renowned classical saxophonist Dale Underwood. After graduating, Sarah taught beginning band and strings in Prince George’s county schools for five years and also maintained two private studios in Maryland and Virginia. During that time she performed in and around DC and New York City with ensembles including the Bohemian Caverns Jazz Orchestra and the Brad Linde Ensemble, a Washington D.C.-based collective dedicated to exploring and expanding the styles of jazz that emerged in the 1950s including bebop, cool jazz, third stream, and free jazz. As part of these ensembles, Sarah shared the stage with jazz greats such as Lee Konitz, Ted Brown, Freddie Redd, Matt Wilson, and Michael Formanek. While at the New England Conservatory, Sarah studied privately with Jerry Bergonzi, Ran Blake, Donny McCaslin, and Anthony Coleman, all of whom impacted Sarah’s unique approach to improvisation and music-making. Sarah performed on Coleman’s latest album, “You” and has performed with Coleman in concerts at the New England Conservatory as well as Roulette and The Stone in New York.  Sarah studied composition in classes with Ken Schaphorst and also Ben Schwendener, with whom she has performed several duo concerts in Boston. In September of 2015 Sarah toured Sweden as part of Amy K. Bormet’s “Ephemera” and performed in Sweden’s first Women in Jazz festival. She also recently taught an improvisation workshop, “Improvisation for Everyone: Games and Storytelling” for beginning, intermediate, and advanced instrumentalists in the 2016 Judith Lapple Summer Woodwind Camp in Fairfax, Virginia.  Most recently, she went on tour with an improvising trio “Lead Bubbles”, playing venues in New York, Montreal, and Toronto. Sarah hopes her music and teaching will continue to introduce her to new people, places, and art.
