Daniel McKemie is a composer, percussionist, electronic musician, researcher, and arranger based in New York City. His current work includes using techniques rooted in Music Information Retrieval in analyzing the nature of timbre and using such data in creative settings. Daniel is currently pursuing his MS in Computer Science and Health Informatics at Brooklyn College, where he works in Professor Johanna Devaney's Laboratory for Understanding Music and Audio (LUMaA) as a graduate research assistant, and as an adjunct lecturer in the music department teaching computer music. His music has been performed in Europe, Asia, South America, and Australia; and his research on computer music and web-based audio/composition techniques has been presented and published internationally in conferences such as the Korean Electro-acoustic Music Society, the Australasian Computer Music Association, the International Symposium on Computer Music Multidisciplinary Research, the Society of Electro-acoustic Music in the United States (SEAMUS), and Percussive Arts Society International Convention (PASIC), among others.

Born in 1789 off the south coast of Antarctica, Lilijana Maticevska managed to kill Mozart at the precocious age of 2 before being raised by wolves in the Bavarian forest. Right before Napoleon's rise to power, she was abducted by aliens and cryogenically preserved aboard their UFO until it crash-landed somewhere in the Blue Mountains, New South Wales. She disguised herself as a boy for some years around the turn of the millennium and developed a passion for music to make amends for her terrible murder. As a very distracted and introverted child she was encouraged by her well-meaning primary school music teachers to take up composition, possibly to steer her away from a path to evil. Nowadays, she spends her time composing propaganda songs, fangirling over Wagner and kicking the gender binary's bum into oblivion.

Lili’s music has been performed in Europe, North America and around Australia. Her composition Palimpsest was given its American premiere by JACK Quartet in November, 2019. After its world premiere in Hannover the previous year, she was described in the press as a 'mordlustigen [Australierin]'—a badge she wears with pride. Other recent commissions include 'Electric Revolution' for the esteemed Thereminist Thorwald Jørgensen and the Acacia String Quartet, premiered at the Albury Chamber Music Festival in 2019, Black Cat Sonata for guitarist Harold Gretton, premiered at the Melbourne Guitar Festival that same year.

She has worked as a composer for ensembles and musicians as wide-ranging as Plexus Collective, Ziggy and Miles Johnston, Syzygy Ensemble, Melbourne Women's Choir, ELISION Ensemble and Musica Assoluta (Hannover).
