DYLAN BOLLES (Composer) makes performances with people and environments, many of which involve the design and construction of new musical instruments and the cultivation of co-creative relationships based in listening practice. His activities include a wide range of performance-based collaborations, time-based arts, installations, and sound compositions. Dylan is currently a doctoral candidate in Performance Studies at UC Davis. Dylan’s Thingamajigs Performance Group emerged from long-term collaborations between individual ensemble members. Utilizing unconventional musical instruments, TPG combines world folk and traditional music with modern technology and performance practice. Creating pieces in a collaborative process that sometimes incorporates voice and multimedia elements, this ensemble expands and contracts for each performance situation.
