Event Horizon Series presents Jason Sloan, Kip Rosser

Jason Sloan
is an electronic musician, composer, and sound artist practicing in
Baltimore, Md. His work explores immateriality and its relationship to
memory, systems and the virtual world. Besides his notoriety in the
ambient and space music scenes for close to two decades, Jason has
released over a dozen solo albums, collaborations and has been included
on multiple various artist collections. In 2012 Jason began working
under the moniker L’Avenir. This project explores Sloan’s long time love
of dark synth and minimal wave music. L’Avenir’s music is created
purely from analog, modular and/or vintage synthesizer equipment and has
released multiple albums on Barcelona’s Cold Beats Records, Germany’s
Eins:Zwei:Acht and Beläten in Sweden. Sloan received his BFA from
Edinboro University and his MFA from Towson University.  Locally, Sloan
has been the recipient  multiple Maryland State Arts Council’s

documented performances have been exhibited internationally in cities
such as Berlin, Copenhagen, Edinburgh, Kiev, Nagoya, Saint-Petersburg,
Toulouse, Lisbon, Uden and Vienna. In addition to releasing over a dozen
studio albums and E.P.’s over the last decade, Sloan has played live
all over the US, Canada and Europe including the influential Live
Constructions radio program at Columbia University, Berlin’s Liquid Sky
TV, STEIM in Amsterdam, CMMAS in Morelia, and Philadelphia’s The
Gatherings concert series; one of the country’s oldest continuing
ambient and electronic music series. Sloan is a Professor teaching
