About ArtIs
ArtIs (pronounced “Art Is”) is a collective of four artists who met at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music. The four come from different departments at the school: Peyton Dexter and Brayden Meng studied composition, Ezekiel Sokoloff studied violin and Thomas Stenzel was enrolled in the Conservatory’s Technology and Applied Composition program. Together they are developing a new opera titled Party, complete with a 25-player orchestra.
Drawing on a wide range of musical sources from Frank Zappa to Thomas Adès and the Black Eyed Peas, Party asks the question: What happens when intelligent technology begins to mirror the psychology of its creators’ worst features — their mental illnesses, substance abuse, identity crises and so on?
