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.

DRAW is the duo of Nisi Jacobs, video and Michael Schumacher, sound. 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 evolved a unique style of algorithmic ever-changing MIDI audio video performance and installation. 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 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.
