Samuel Burt is mainly a composer of chamber and electroacoustic music as well as an experimental sound manipulator of reed instruments and computer synthesis. His current mission is to produce more dialog between the expansive, mature, experimental scene in Baltimore and musicians trained in the traditional western discipline. He believes that an intuitive music philosophy would make better performers at the conservatory, and more formalistic and rehearsed ideas could improve the music of the experimental community. His music reflects these values with a moderated approach that sometime explores experimental forms through traditional media (see Parametric Transmutations) and other times explores challenging concepts through new methods of conveyance (see Unwound). Burt teaches at the Baltimore School for the Arts, is an organizing member of the High Zero Foundation, helped found the After Now new chamber music series, and performs regularly with bands Death in the Maze and Geodesic Gnome.

Born and raised in the western United States, Rose Burt moved to the east coast in 2000 when her strong interest in music led her to pursue a degree in classical saxophone performance at the Peabody Conservatory in Baltimore.  At Peabody, she  became increasingly involved with the Jazz and Computer Music departments, and upon completion of her undergraduate degree, Rose enrolled in the Masters program in Computer Music.  Encouraged by several faculty members and fellow students to explore improvisation further, she became involved with experimental music at the Red Room, and was invited to join the Red Room collective and High Zero Foundation in the spring of 2005.  As a member of the collective she helps book and run an experimental concert series at the Red Room in Baltimore and the annual High Zero Festival. of experimental improvised music.   Currently she is curating a composed chamber music series at Carriage House called Aesthetic Research Series; she performs with Death in the Maze, the Baltimore Afrobeat Society, Second Nature and in the After Now series.
