THE HATERS [CALIFORNIA]
Artist/writer GX Jupitter-Larsen is based in Hollywood, California. During the 1990's he was the sound designer for the performances of Mark Pauline's Survival Research Laboratories, the premiere self-destructing mechanical performance art spectacle of its' time. His best known work is as the founder and only constant member of the noise act The Haters. The current Haters performance is a piece entitled "Loud Luggage / Booming Baggage", in which amplified suitcases burst, crackle and explode with sound. Underlying much of Jupitter-Larsen's work is a self-created lexicon of personalized units of measurement such as the polywave, the totimorphous and the xylowave. The Loud Luggage performance is a sonic reference to the xylowave, which he defines as "the distance between nothing and something". The Haters have performed all over America and in 15 nations across Europe & Asia, appearing on over 400 CD, vinyl or cassette releases. http://jupitter-larsen.com/
INFANT FACTORY [DC]
Insect Factory is music from Silver Spring, Maryland musician Jeff Barsky. Insect Factory generally focuses on texture and mood, building layers of sound that slowly evolve into hypnotic and atmospheric drones. Insect Factory has recently released a split 7-inch with RST (New Zealand). For Sonic Circuits 2011, Jeff will collaborate with Chester Hawkins's Blue Sausage Infant project, as Infant Factory.
Since the 90's, Barsky has continuously played in bands and improvisational collectives, and has performed frequently on the east coast of the U.S., as well as in Canada, throughout Europe, and Japan. His first proper release, Air Traffic Control Sleep, was released on Insect Fields in the late summer of 2007, to acclaim from the likes of The Washington Post, The Wire (UK), and Terrascope. Barsky's various projects have shared the stage with acts as diverse as Bardo Pond, Richard Pinhas, Nels Cline, Acid Mothers Temple, and Carla Bozulich, and he has performed at Suoni Il Per Popolo festival in Montreal, previous Sonic Circuits festivals/events, and Terrastock 7 in Louisville, Kentucky. Insect Factory has recently released a split 7-inch with RST (New Zealand), and also recorded a follow-up full-length for release in later 2011. http://www.insectfields.org
Les Rhinocéros [DC]
"Hailing from the Washington, DC area, the young band Les Rhinocéros delivers a crazy world in sound, blending aspects of rock, world music, noise, ambient and jazz. The trio of teenagers was formed in 2008 while the players were still in high school, and has developed since then into an intense and wildly imaginative group that takes music to its extremes. Emotional, minimalistic, intense and grooving, this is music that goes beyond imagination to the edges of sanity. The group continues their sonic experiments by adding unusual instruments into the traditional rock band setting." (Tzadik) https://www.facebook.com/LesRhinoceros
RIND [DC]
Rind is the ambient, melodic, brash and occasionally noisy collaboration between cellist Doug Stailey (Sansyou, Field Shaman, The Plums) and guitarist Beau Finley (Destroyer of Worlds, Monitor), who also runs Fuzzy Panda Recording Company.
Valentina Vuksic [Switzerland]
Valentina Vuksic is a computer artist and programmer based in Zürich. Her work is a personal exploration of the possibilities afforded by articulated hard- and software mediation. She approaches computer systems via inductive microphones for magnetic fields, so-called "telephone adapters." With choreographies for software and computer elements, she utilizes these as actors in software/noise pieces for, and in, computers.
Vuksic considers time and space of computer processor and memory as levels of reality. Software being processed creates own temporal and spatial dimensions, which are staged for a public. She aims for a sensual experience of the analytical sphere becoming concrete, where logic encounters the physical world. The mechanic noises serve as mediators to a public. They reveal in an immediate way the activities taking place between computer processes in the widest sense and the computer electronics they are running on.
