Luxate /ˈləkˌsāt/ verb: To throw out of place or out of joint.

Luxate is the improvisational electronics project of Kenneth Tarek Sabbar. Kenneth Tarek Sabbar is a Moroccan-American sound artist born in Kenosha, WI. His body of works covers of range of approaches—looping analog tape, techno constructed through modular synthesis, live-coding generative ambience, or granular resynthesis of recorded acoustic instruments.

Though disparate in his process over the years, the through-line is a careful construction of detailed textures—a “loud softness” that can be both confrontational but also demanding of a closer listen.

Tim Russell (Avoidancepolicy) lives at the confluence of the aural and the visual. He currently serves as Music Director for the University of Wisconsin Dance Program. In 2019, Tim was selected as one of the Cowles Visiting Artists at the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities, a first for a Musician in the field of Dance. He has a vast catalogue of works specifically for choreography, most of which exist live, in collaboration with movement. His commitment to the nowness in performance led him to co-create/curate, along with choreographer Maria Gillespie, Hyperlocal MKE, a Music and Dance improvisation series that exists to this day in Milwaukee. His current curatorial project, Common Sage Arts, promotes multidisciplinary artists through carefully curated performances. He holds an MFA in Music Improvisation from Mills College in Oakland, California, where he studied improvisation, electronic music and composition with the likes of Fred Frith, Roscoe Mitchell and Zeena Parkins. His 2020 album Junct, a collection of improvisational duets with bassist Ari Smith, was included in Tone Madison’s top 20 records of 2020.
