Darwinsbitch
Oakland-based sound artist and violinist Marielle Jakobsons explores the
intersection between visceral perceptions, technologically-mediated
phenomena, and our emotional realm. Recent solo work (also known as
darwinsbitch or (www.myspace.com/darwinsbitch)) has been heard around
the Bay Area as well as in performance with Agnes Szelag in the
electroacoustic improvisatory duo myrmyr (www.myspace.com/myrmyr) and as
electric violinist in the interactive multimedia ensemble TrioMetrik
(www.triometrik.org). www.mariplasma.com
bran(...)pos
from San Franciso, CA bran(...)pos: an ongoing solo excursion and
investigation of various forms of performance and music synthesis, with
a focus on realtime sonic plasticization and voice manipulation /
achieved using both hardware synthesizers and a custom set of
software-based sound grapplers that interface with the real world via
tactile control / performances rounded out with facial interpretations
and physical gesture (butoh and max fleischer-inspired) / aurally
combined for an experience that is heavy and heady like cannibal corpse
doing xenakis covers / ridiculous and magical like popeye sitting in for
jean- jacques perrey (popeye and kingsley) / full length cds
self-released on Chitah! Chitah! Soundcrack including the latest 2006
release Detangler / bran has been performed from Boise to Belgium
alongside many of today's most enigmatic and prolific sound and
performance experimenters. http://soundcrack.net/branpos
Thomas Dimuzio
San Francisco-based Dimuzio is one of those unsung artistic
figures whose influence and abilities have substantially outstripped his
visibility. Composer, multi-instrumentalist, sound designer,
experimental electronic musician, collaborator and recording studio
owner - Dimuzio has been busy doing his thing(s) since the late 1980's,
but is still only known to a small circle of electronic music
enthusiasts. A true sonic alchemist who can seemingly create music
events out of almost anything, Dimuzio's listed sound sources on his
various CDs include everything from "modified 10 speed bicycle" and
"resonating water pipe" to short-wave radios, loops, samplers and even
normal instruments such as clarinet and trumpet. And while his wide
range of musical interests make it impossible to pin a label on him,
Dimuzio clearly has an insider's knowledge of older experimental musical
forms such as musique concrete and electroacoustic, as well as more
current ambient, industrial, noise and post-techno styles. Among his
collaborations include Chris Cutler, Fred Frith, Dan Burke (Illusion Of
Safety), David Lee Myers, Nick Didkovsky, Paul Haslinger, Due Process,
5uu's, Matmos, Wobbly, DJ Qbert, and many others.
