As for Léon Lo, he has managed independent micro-label Natacha’s Recordings since the early 2000’s. Under his pseudonym Skinnybones, Lo was a core DJ of the UK-centric ESL and Knife & Fork crews, and is currently producing percussive dance music.
Katherine Melançon holds a Masters in Fine Arts from Central Saint Martins University of the Arts (UK) and her BA in Communications studies/Interactive Medias from UQAM (CA).

The waste generated by people and their interaction with food constitutes the central theme of A Discard Study. As part of this unique performance, Mue and Katherine Melançon will eat various foods in order to create real-time sounds and visuals, which will then be transformed and layered over other images and sounds of food waste from a previous dinner between the three artists.
