John MacDougall Parker (St Celfer) http://stcelfer.com/

St Celfer, treading glitch-tronic failure, creates improvisational future-folk compositions - sound is amalgamated and congealed into a resolution of crossed and overloaded signals. In performance St Celfer embraces sensory overload in order to unlock ways of perceiving a world made narrow by the impositions of power. St Celfer (john macdougall parker), of American and Korean origin, floats between NYC, Seattle, and São Paulo where you can find drawings on the "Space Between Points" in the collection of the Museum of Contemporary Art (MACUSP). 4 albums over 4 years are named "New & Notable" by the editors at Bandcamp.com including one featured wave track for Infrasonica.org, Voicing Abstraction. His music has been broadcast on Ridgewood Radio (WFMU), Radio Eclectus (KHUH) and Flotation Device (KBCS). Part of the 00's New York music scene playing CBGB's, The Kitchen, Tonic, The Tank, Remote Lounge, Galapagos Art Space, Sputnik, and Stinger Club. John, in the spirit of Charles Ives, always made art and music alongside being a coach and former Olympic athlete.
