Doug Theriault has been involved in improvised music for over the last 20 years.  He has written improvised music for and played with many of the major improvisers of the Jazz Underground.   Some of these players include Davey Williams, LaDonna Smith, Gino Robair, The Sun Ra Arkestra, Toshi Makihara, Jeph Jerman, Wally Shoup, Fred Longberg-Holm.  One of his main projects has been the group Office Products which has been on may international compilations.  He is also one of the main organizers for Improvised Music in the Northwest.

Ed Chang has been performing and composing since 1984 and has spent most of that time developing a personal voice and aesthetic in the language and anti-structure of free improvisation and experimental composition.  Currently his time is spent divided among four main projects: SPIN-17, DUAL, Ringsteppers, and Blindfold.

DUAL is a duo free improv project featuring Theriault on guitar and Chang on electronics and homemade sound devices.  Their music is about the tension, release and intersection of sound-objects in space.  Their musical textures have much in common with car crashes, dripping faucets and Godzilla in heat.  DUAL's goal is to explore new traditions in live musique concrete using electronics and modern cultural artifacts acquired through economical means.

"...winds through a vast territory of creative sound, a persnickety stockinette of texture and feedback." -- Patrick Barber, Seattle Rocket

"...moving towards a holistic virtuosity...mindblowing." -- Sonar Map #3
