Brutal Sound Effects Festival #75
Saturday, July 27, 2013 7:30 – 10:00pm $7 Actuary (L.A.) Kwisp Kwisp is a San Francisco based musical group, their instrumentation is unique, most of it built by the band itself. Teriyaki Vest Odyssey, Kwisp’s first album, merged Elf songs, psychedelia, free jazz, Dada, and Tantric Appalachian Pygmy Music. Kwisp’s current lineup includes Walter Funk & Lenny Bove. They first met through Cork Marcheschi, whose 1960's experimental rock band Fifty Foot Hose, was among the very first of underground rock bands to perform with experimental and electronic instruments, influencing such later bands as Throbbing Gristle, Pere Ubu, Skinny Puppy and Chrome. In 1995, when Marcheschi reformed Fifty Foot Hose, Walter and Lenny were asked to join. http://www.hologlyphics.com/kwisp.htm Heartworm Heartworm is san francisco based sound artist Brandon Yahiro-Taylor. A veteran of the NYC and bay area experimental/noise and underground dance music scenes, heartworm currently fuses modern and traditional sound design and experimentation with field recording, ambient soundscapes, shattered breakbeat tomfoolery and general silliness. There will be no costumes, visual aids or jumping around. Just pure evil for the ears... http://www.myshiteatstapes.com http://soundcloud.com/heartworm Darwin's Bitch Sound artist and violinist Marielle V. Jakobsons creates electro-acoustic compositions of evocative, pulsing drones. She has published recordings on Thrill Jockey, Important Records, Digitalis, Mexican Summer, Root Strata, among others, and has toured across the Americas & Europe. A classically-trained musician turned sound designer and educator by trade, she creates and collaborates extensively in the experimental arts. Together with Gregg Kowalsky, she formed the band Date Palms and with Agnes Szelag Myrmyr. “Glass Canyon” is her second solo album of analog synthesizers and violin, was released by Students of Decay in Summer 2012. From 2007-2011 she performed under the moniker “darwinsbitch” and released the album “Ore” on Digitalis in 2009. http://www.darwinsbitch.com/ Pete von Petrin Pete von Petrin explores pyschoacoustics and involuntary response to visual stimulation through performances involving strip club lighting and audio feedback. He is currently working on an album about the Singularity. http://pete.vonpetrin.com/ Seitz Versus Gendreau Seitz Versus Gendreau is a collaborative sound experiment sampling from a wide-ranging array of instruments and sources. In the past they have used toy pianos, records, invented instruments, and field recordings; for the July show they will be employing a new set of tools. Noise will evolve into rhythms and dissolve back into a field of sound. SEITZ is a series of words: ubiation, spumescence, pleochroic, impluvious, limbeck. Seitz is a deipnosophist well-practiced in myomancy and a believer in resistentialism. Ultimately Seitz is nothing but a zodiac of the mind's phantasms. GENDREAU started playing drums in 1972, and working with tape machines and scrappy electronics a few years after that. He has composed or co-composed for those instruments and others (turntables, notably) for various recordings and performances, both solo and in groups (Crawling With Tarts, Lars Mars Orchestra, rRope, Seitz Versus Gendreau, Speed The Parting Guest, The Disturbing Group, Veti_Vert, etc.). After completing a degree in physics in 1989, he began work as an acoustician that continues to this day, where his primary focus is in the design of very quiet research environments, with respect to infrasound and vibration (for a list of publications, click here). Gosling (S Palmer & D Rivero) 1. a young goose 2. a foolish, inexperienced person 3. The combined forces of vocalists, Danishta Rivero (Voicehandler,Blood Wedding, Aghora) and Sarah Elena Palmer (EFFT, Lutra Lutra) Danishta: a musician/sound artist who specializes in the Hydrophonium (a water-based electro-acoustic percussion instrument), extended vocal techniques, and digital processing. Sarah: a songwriter and a vocal improviser - tending towards the emotional and tonal - who also uses electronic processing to adjust the spacial/textural context of her sounds. Fslux The long-time project of Bay Area artist C. Sullivan, Fslux focuses on the manipulation of everyday sound, layering of textures, and generally lo-fi instrumentation. For this performance, she will be using vintage electronics, looping, effects and and various other sounds to aurally penetrate your mind's ear. https://soundcloud.com/fslux Dross Dross is analog synth drones, tape loops & manipulation, feedback loops, noise, and sometimes songs. It's the solo project of John Farris, who played in Michigan punk/experimental bands Salt Lick and Blind Lake, and frequented the Ann Arbor/Ypsilanti basement noise scene. Since moving to the bay he's focused on building a solo rig (limited by space) and experimenting with textures and meditative drones to immerse in some heavy zones. http://drosstapes.bandcamp.com/ For more information, please visit https://www.facebook.com/events/361673157288914/.
