Roulette’s annual Mixology Festival highlights novel approaches to technology in music and media arts, since 1991, and is supported in-part by mediaThe Foundation.
DAY 2 of Roulette’s 2026 Mixology Festival features a double bill of spatial sound mixes played by remote performers, plus explorations of voice and electronics.
Tommy Martinez presents Distant Streams: PST II with Jazmin “Jazzy” Romero. The piece bridges two spatial sound mixes played by remote performers, transmitted to each other in real-time via web-app developed by Martinez. Material used in the performance consists of guitar and environmental recordings made in Los Angeles and New York City, shaped by compression artifacts and the natural time-delay incurred through transmission.
Sydney Spann will perform new solo music for voice and electronics.
A livestream will be available free of charge at 8pm on the day of the performance and archived for future viewing.
Tommy Martinez is an artist and programmer working through research, sound and code. He creates software and musical systems for the internet, custom electronics, and for live multichannel performance. His work often engages network technologies and infrastructure to create generative and improvised sound works in emerging mediums. He has performed music at MoMA PS1, Fridman Gallery, Rhizome, and Pioneer Works, and currently teaches sound and electronic media art at NYU and Columbia University.
Jazmin “Jazzy” Romero is an artist from Los Angeles, California. Her work explores how memory is embodied through performance, video, sound, and sculpture. Romero’s practice considers experimentation, improvisation, and collaboration as pathways for alternative forms of storytelling. She engages with the relationship between musical gesture and physical form to produce scores, assemblages, and compositions. She is also a member of various performance and music production collectives, such as COQUETA.
Sydney Spann, originally from Baltimore, MD, is a musician based in New York. They work with synthesis, electronics, amateur acoustic instrumentation and voice to make studio compositions and live performances. Lately their work sublimates the latent aggressions of feminized labor into anxious and beautiful music. Previous solo releases include full length albums for Recital and Reading Group. They are one half of the duo Iris Our with Kiera Mulhern.
