\ \ The Oxford University Press’ New Grove Dictionary of American Music describes Mem1 as “a unified cybernetic force, or complex cybernetic entity, comprised of two human artists plus their instruments and systems” whose “evolving, custom-built systems are as important an aspect of the duo’s achievements as their ever-innovative sound. Confounding the complexities inherent in human-machine and human-instrument relationship, Mem1 understands its music as a feedback loop between the past and present.”\ \ Founded in Los Angeles in 2003, Mem1 has toured extensively, performing at Café OTO (London), Issue Project Room (Brooklyn), Roulette (New York), the Laptopia Festival (Tel-Aviv), the Borealis Festival (Bergen), the San Francisco Electronic Music Festival, Los Angeles Contemporary Exhibitions, REDCAT / Disney Hall (Los Angeles), and Electronic Church (Berlin). They have taken part in residencies at Harvestworks (New York), STEIM (Amsterdam), O' (Milan), USF Verftet (Bergen), and SoundFjord (London). Throughout their career, they have collaborated with a variety of artists and musicians including the Penderecki String Quartet, Steve Roden, Stephen Vitiello, Frank Bretschneider, Jan Jelinek, Liora Belford, Kadet Kuhne, and Attila Faravelli.
