OJO is a collaborative art and music group that consists of Joshua Aster, Chris Avitabile, Justin Cole, Moises Medina, Eamon Ore-Giron, Brenna Youngblood and various audiences. OJO performs experimental music that delves into transcendental rhythms and communal harmonics. One major aspect of OJO’s events aims to remove the barrier between the audience and the performers, so that when one enters the show’s environment they instantly become a member of the “band.” The way this is achieved is by constructing compositions that involve simple music making gestures such as clapping, whistling, chanting, etc. and arranging these elements in a way that creates a texture of communal sound. The audience is coaxed into participating by direct contact with the “performers (OJO).” OJO has created projects for many venues, including MOCA, LAXART, and LACMA in Los Angeles and Queens Nails Annex in San Francisco. The group has also been profiled in ANP Quarterly and LA Confidential.

Single Wing Turquoise Bird in performance with musicians Miroslav Tadic and Friends in an evening of real-time projection and live music. Single Wing Turquoise Bird was the most significant light show in Los Angeles from 1967 to 1975, a "collective improvisation performance group" that used film, slide, and liquid projections to marry the artistic possibilities of music, painting, and moving images. SWTB first played behind bands such as Cream, The Velvet Underground, Sly and the Family Stone, Pink Floyd, The Who and The Grateful Dead.
