DRAW
	DRAW creates immersive sound and image scapes using found and new footage, field recordings, analog synthesizers, DSP, and audio-visual processing tools. Coming out of the 60's tradition of happenings and experiential art, performances engage audiences with an almost overwhelming physicality. In performance, DRAW works with live musicians, poets, and singers. The videos on this page are excerpted studio versions of the pieces. DRAW is the duo of Nisi Jacobs, video and Michael Schumacher, sound, joined in performance by percussionist Tim Keiper. They create immersive live sets that saturate space, moving through an extraordinary range of sounds and images. Where possible, they prefer to perform with multi-channel systems. Formed in the summer of '07, DRAW has only performed twice in the NYC area, however, each member has an extensive record of work in experimental art and sound. Jacobs has presented her films and videos at the SONAR festival and the Tribeca Film Festival 2003 and also performs with the bands Aeroplane Pageant and White Cats, which features singer/songwriter Tara Angell. Schumacher has been active on the experimental music scene since the late 1980s. He has released 5 solo CDs and is on a number of compilations. His disc "Room Pieces" was rated "best of 2003" in its category by Wire Magazine. He specializes in sound installations and runs a "sound art" gallery, Diapason.
