performing and installation artist biographies:

Phill Niblock is a New York-based minimalist intermedia artist using music, film, photography, video and computers, and director of Experimental Intermedia, a foundation born in the flames of 1968's barricade-hopping. He makes thick, loud drones of music, filled with microtones of instrumental timbres which generate many other tones in the performance space. Simultaneously, he presents films / videos which look at the movement of people working, or computer driven black and white abstract images floating through time. He has been a maverick presence on the fringes of the avant garde ever since. Since 1968 Phill has put on over 1000 concerts in his loft space, including Ryoji Ikeda, Zbigniew Karkowski, Jim O'Rourke. More info: http://www.phillniblock.com/

GX Jupitter-Larsen is an artist, based in Hollywood, California, who's been active in a number of underground art scenes since 1979. Jupitter-Larsen has been involved in punk rock, mail art, cassette culture, the noise music scene, and zine culture. During the 1990s he was the sound designer for the performances of Mark Pauline's Survival Research Laboratories. His best known work's as the founder of the noise act The Haters, who've performed all over the world, and appear on over 300 CD & record releases. More info: http://www.jupitter-larsen.com/

AMK is an American experimental musician who has been active since the early 80s, and created his own label Banned Production which has hundreds of releases. "I like to be involved with the things I do. One of the reasons I don’t do many pro CD releases is that I’m not involved in it every step of the way. When I cook, I know what I eat and how I want to make it to taste. Cutting up records is just fun. I guess the connection that can be drawn through all that is that I like to control things as much as I can. I don’t work all that well with others in a lot of ways. Cooking and packaging have to be done in a certain way, probably not the best way but the way I do it." More info: http://www.bannedproduction.com/

Damion Romero is a Los Angeles based practitioner of power acoustics and intense low-level sound manipulation. He has recorded as Speculum Fight, and collaborated with MSBR, Astro, Spencer Yeh, and many more. He is a consistent source of fascinating buzz and drone and somehow manages to translate inherently physical and spatial sound amazingly onto analog and digitally recorded media. More info: http://www.poweracoustics.org/

Without formal training in music and art, Gen Ken Montgomery has been involved in experimental music and art based in new York City since 1978. Montgomery founded the Generations Unlimited and co-founded the Pogus Productions labels of experimental music, and in 1989, he founded Generator, the first Sound Art gallery in New York City. Montgomery has been a guest curator and surreptitiously assisted other curators for a variety of projects specializing in Sound Art and experimental music since. Presently he publishes recordings of other sound artists through Generator Sound Art online. Presently his sound work ICEBREAKER can be heard in the exhibition Looking at Music 3.0 at The Museum of Modern Art in New York City. More info: http://www.genkenmontgomery.com

Vertonen has been the solo project of Blake Edwards since 1991. Using a wide array of source material, including custom-built pedals, hand altered records, an oversized Russian synthesizer, shortwave radio, and field recordings, his audio explorations have included musique concrete, drones, harsh noise, and off-kilter lurching rhythms. His most recent work has focused on using dead and dying media to accentuate communication and its various limitations / frequent failings. Edwards has received four City of Chicago arts grants in recognition of his work, and he also runs the experimental music label CIP, releasing works by both new and well-known artists including Z'EV, Leticia Castaneda, Wolf Eyes, Joe Colley, and Brutum Fulmen. More info: cipsite.net

MV Carbon is a Brooklyn based artist and musician who uses tape machines, voice, electric cello, field recordings, and hand built electronics in her work. She has performed nationally and internationally with her solo work as well as in collaborations with a fine array of musicians. Her work has been exhibited at galleries including the Butcher Shop (Chicago), D'Amelio Terras (NYC), Louis V.E.S.P.(NYC), MCCaigwelles Gallery (NYC), Pittsburgh Center for the Arts (PGH), Salon Invisible (Chicago), Three Rivers Arts Festival (PGH), and West Nile (NYC).

Active in the Ohio noise scene since 1998, Mike Shiflet is a former member of Sword Heaven, Burning Star Core, and Noumena, and also ran the GMBY label until 2008. Utilizing guitar, laptop and analog devices, his solo work is a unique mix of noise and drone with melodic components scattered throughout. More info: http://www.michaelshiflet.com/

Crank Sturgeon has been active in performance, installation, and sound art since 1992. A comical conceptualist, Crank blends pun and the profane into noisy, happy accidents. Accompanied by ridiculous costuming, athletic endurance, and audience participation, the end result is often a recipe that embraces the loud, the wet, and the celebratory. Also as an indefatigable nomad, Crank frequently tours his one man show across the USA and Europe; in 2010, as a featured performer at the NorCal Noise Festival, in Sacramento, CA; performing amplified badminton for the annual SPACE Block Party (curated by SPACE Gallery, in Portland, ME); as well as a solo installation at the MEME Gallery in Cambridge, MA. In recent years, Crank has also been a resident at Projektwerkstatt, an experimental artist workspace in Leipzig, Germany; guest artist at CESTA, an intermedia residency in Tabor, Czech Republic; as well as countless festivals such as WORM (held at the Rotterdam Institute of Architecture, Rotterdam, Netherlands), Wez to Wylasç, Warsaw, Poland, and the Antennae Festival, Paris, France.

"Some facts about a man named Rat Bastard: Born Frank Falestra and unceremoniously given his current moniker by a shitty punk band he recorded 20 years ago, he lives in Miami, three blocks away from the thong-riddled shores of South Beach. He’s 50 years old and nearing a nice retirement from a job he’s had at an airline since just after high school. He’s recorded Blowfly, Marilyn Manson and the Spooky Kids, the Silos, the Mavericks, Harry Pussy, and the Eat, none of whom anyone gave a queef about at the time, and he currently runs a recording studio in his tiny, immaculate, one-bedroom condo. He’s been playing improvised noise on guitar and bass and electric violin in an unsavory part of town at a lovable shithole called Churchill’s pretty much every Thursday night since 1983. As legend has it, one night a patron fed up with Rat’s incessant rumble stormed the stage and put a gun to his head. 'Go ahead and pull the trigger,' Rat told him, 'cause I ain’t stopping'.” (Vice Magazine) More info: http://www.squelchers.com/

David Linton (born Newburgh NY 1956) is a Time based multiple media artist traveling the vectors of sound, subculture, and signal flow. He has been active in the downtown NYC experimental arts community for over 30 years. With his "Bicameral Research Sound & Projection System" (2004) Linton aims to make vibrational wave induced perceptual energy states manifest by deploying interconnected measures of electric sound & pulsing light in live action with hand manipulated objects in physical (live camera) space. He employs an integrated recursive analog audio-video feedback system of his own perversely simple design modulated by freehand intervention to deliver vigorous eye, ear, and - sometimes - body shaking realtime audio visual performances from which a kind of retro-tech animist ritual "medicine show" emerges where subject and object blur. Thematically David likes to consider that over the course of the 20th Century 60 Hz alternating electrical current gradually came to function as a primary subliminal Prana in the mass bio-energetic body/culture of human life in North America...

Visual/sound artist Bruce Tovsky began painting at the age of 7 and started playing with tape recorders at the age of 10. After earning an MFA degree in Multimedia from Rutgers University in 1979 he began showing his video work across the USA, Europe and Japan. The late 70’s to mid 80’s also saw him involved in the downtown NYC film and music scene, where he produced records, made videos, and did live sound for Liquid Liquid, Model Citizens, Del Byzanteens and Dog Eat Dog among many others. In the 90's he also collaborated with several downtown NYC choreographers, with performances at Lincoln Center, Joyce Theater, The Kitchen and other venues around the world. The turn of the century saw him creating live video and sound improvisations - often in collaboration with artists such as John Hudak, Zach Layton, Shimpei Takeda and Richard Garet - in spaces around NYC, including Diapason, Experimental Intermedia, Issue Project Room, Fotofono, and his own studio space 106BLDG30 at the Brooklyn Navy Yard.

bran(...)pos is the solo experimental electronic music project of Jake Rodriguez. Given life in 1995, bran(...)pos focuses on real-time sonic plasticization and voice manipulation, achieving these ends with both hardware synthesizers and a custom set of software-based sound grapplers that interface with the real world via tactile control. bran(...)pos' recordings (heavy and heady like Cannibal Corpse doing Xenakis covers) and performances (rounded out with facial interpretations and physical gesture-butoh and Max Fleischer-inspired) are consistently praised for their inventiveness and attention to detail. More info: http://www.soundcrack.net/branpos/

ID M Theft Able to quote a random reviewer on the interwebs: “fantastic. Supersonic and supermorcelée sound poetry interpreted by soft bearded. Very beautiful sounds, very beautiful and short silences, very dynamics, much of humour… Between joining carried out into live and abstract exchanges with the public. Best noise (??) comedy act ever!” More info: http://www.kraag.org/id/

Their debut LP “Your New Age Dream Contains More Blood Than You Imagine” will be released shortly by Anarchymoon Recordings.  More info: http://postcommodity.com/

Liam Mooney is a composer (+ performer) of experimental music, of noisy sounds, inventor of unwieldy musical instruments.

Spawning such groups as the Styrofoam Orchestra & the Dropping-Things-on-the-Floor Ensemble. He continues to focus on the sonic possibilities of everyday objects & on the physical properties of sound. Recent projects have involved popcorn, drinking straws, plastic bottles, soap, rubber bands, PVC pipes, dry ice, toy instruments, yogurt, balloons, drums, electric fans, foam, music boxes, & vacuum cleaners.

Fatale is a HN/HNW project with a distinctly feminine touch; the current brain-child activity of artist Elizabeth Floersch. Elizabeth has been a classically-trained musician from a young age which is apparent in her noise compositions. Her Fatale project seeks to encompass all that is beautiful and lady-like with evident Francophile themes; meanwhile she has created a HN/HNW project that is coarse, raucous, brutal and on-par with the eventual destruction of the ear-drums of noise-aficionados. More info: http://fatale.weebly.com/

"Bryan Willert Tholl [aka BWT] has been a steady presence on the more adventurous edges of the international avant garde sound art scene since 2005. First gaining recognition with the highly refined and unpredictable Is project, and more recently baffling audiences with his series of one off 'isolated ideas', each occurring with the structural tendencies and aesthetic subtleties of a Neomarica gracilis bloom, 'one specific idea, one release, one performance, never revisited.' He frequently updates his implements and approaches to yield closer and more precise explorations of the minutia of seemingly mundane sonic events. Whether electronic, organic or visual mediums are being explored BWT carries out all exercises with the dedicated techniques of a scientist, though one who has had a few too many drinks."

Fyxzis is a trio (Steven Flato, Richard Kamerman, Corey Larkin) interested primarily in matters of magnification and translation along the malleable overlap between composed and improvised music. Sharing a preference for junked electronics, found on the side of the road and re-appropriated for uses their makers did not intend, and utilising an array of electroacoustic techniques focused around the acts of transforming non-audio data to sound and non-visual data to moving image, the live manipulation of each-other's signals, and the amplification of microscopic details that would normally go unnoticed, they chart a potential arc from microsound to harsh noise.

Explosive Improvised Device (EID) is the project of Anthony Saunders, since 1997, based in Kearny, NJ. More info: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Explosive-Improvised-Device

"Brooklyn's OPPONENTS stylistically encompass analog throbbing ala the horror soundtracks of 70s/80s cinema, beatific, long-form 'head' music, echoes of Con Schnitzler and Cabaret Voltaire, and the casual intensity of brave young men with good ideas." (Prison Tatt Records) More info: http://www.soundcloud.com/opponents/

Pharmakon is the solo noise project of Margaret Chardiet. Begun in 2007, the potency of her mix of vocal experimentation, abrasive textures and industrial synthesizer is undeniable. A member of the Red Light District collective of Far Rockaway, NY, Chardiet also performs in the duo Throat and has released material on the labels Callow God, Bloodlust and Three Songs of Lenin. More info: pharmakon.weebly.com

Lolly Gesserit is a new project of Baltimore-based artist Elijah Forrest (Terrors, Cavelife label), which blends electronic rhythms, acoustic instruments and vocals via tape collage and live mixing. "...an alchemical sound called industrial dub, draining out of the avant garde bath water into the sewer of modern music." - Charles D. Abidine. More info: 8marchen.blogspot.com
