NMND (or 'No Mind') is the artistic duo formed between producer / technological ace McLean Macionis and hypnotic vocalist / composer Mana Contractor. The music of NMND draws equally on organic and electronic sounds, creating eclectic collages rich with otherworldly textures, haunting vocals, and tightly programmed beats. Their debut EP, "Integration," focuses on the evolution and manipulation of the human voice through technology, utilized to harness the power of improvisation.

MANTRA is a five-part durational performance art piece in which I embody five personal mantras by posing motionlessly, twenty minutes at a time. I combine the five poses with objects, elements, and projection to access a state of grounding, protection, and transcendence. The audience is welcome to also be still or meditate along with me.
