David Menestres is a double bassist, improvisor, composer, radio host, and writer. For the last ten years he's been the leader of Polyorchard. For the last twenty-three he's been collaborating with Eugene Chadbourne. His bass playing has been described as "seductive" (The Wire) and "something akin to staring an abyss in the face – and taking the plunge – full on, head first into annihilation” (FreJazzBlog).

Andrew Weathers (b.1988) is a composer and improviser originally from Chapel Hill, NC and currently based in Littlefield, TX. His work engages with notions of place, tradition, repetition, and spirit, splitting the difference between folk music and Land Art. Weathers studied composition at UNC-Greensboro and electronic music at Mills College in Oakland, CA.
A consistent presence in the underground music scene over the past decade, Weathers’ work covers a wide spectrum from solo acoustic guitar to electronic noise. He also performs and records regularly with Tender Crust, Wind Tide, Satin Spar, Tamarisk, Llano Estacado Monad Band, Tethers and Real Life Rock & Roll Band. Weathers also produces recordings for the Full Spectrum, Other Minds, and Rural Situationism record labels, curates the Longitudes music series at CO-OPt Research + Projects in Lubbock, TX and works as a freelance mixing and mastering engineer.

The movement and sound collaboration will feature a group of three movement artists, practitioners of contact improvisation and three musicians with backgrounds in free improvisation.
"Contact Improvisation (CI) is a movement form that involves connection between other bodies in an exploratory and improvisational way. CI invites play, deep listening, weight sharing, balance, falling, etc. It can be slow and meditative and/or athletic and with momentum. There are patterns and practices to learn and it’s also very improvisational and open."
