Christie and Arvid : Electro-Acoustic Duo
Christie Lee Gibson : voice
Arvid Tomayko-Peters : trumpet and electronics
Christie and Arvid perform improvisational and experimental electronic/acoustic music and other genres. Occasianlly you might even hear an old jazz favorite peeking through the insanity.
Christie has a deep background in classical voice and opera and Arvid in jazz, electronic and experimental musics, playing both trumpets and computers. Christie’s beautiful singing and diverse vocalizations are augmented and affected by Arvid’s trumpet playing and live electronics, including an expressive one-of-a-kind wireless electronic wind controller designed and built by Arvid himself. Performances involve the very oldest instrument (the voice) and some of the very newest (Arvid's electronic instruments).
