Comfort Music: erψn temp3st, Mauricio López F. , and Sarah Lutkenhaus

erψn temp3st is an artist of settler descent, working through questions of embodiment and the aura of all things physical and virtual. They are interested in the body as a site of rupture, an ever unfolding excess of significance whose shape is delineated moment by moment through fields of intention and affect. Their work means to invert inner and outer, often incorporating video, live sound, somatic elaborations, and interactive media to gather brightness and charge through which to touch,..., barely, hopefully,..., the leaning and reaching parts (the tender offerings) of an audience.


Sarah Lutkenhaus uses modular synthesis, field recordings, and vocal improvisation to build layered compositions. The work explores emotional extremes, physical limitations, and vulnerability of the human experience in modern daily life.


Mauricio López F. is a sound artist and music composer born in Santiago de Chile and currently based in Chicago, USA. His work explores various mediums in sound art, such as sculptures, sonic assemblage, graphic scores, and performances with unconventional instruments. These works, often seen through a sardonic lens, deal with themes of privacy, translation and social misunderstandings. His pieces have been presented in Perú, Spain, France, Germany, Italy, and the Czech Republic. Mauricio is currently pursuing an MFA in Sound at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, supported by the New Artist Society Scholarship.
