:: Sounds

- From the States:

Sleeping With The Earth

Portland based Sleeping With The Earth create slowly progressing, grinding noise ranging from that which is moody and emotional to full on dark industrial soundscapes, all served with great intensity and fervor.

Conure

Conure was formed in mid 2000 in Portland as an outlet for Mark Wilson's noisier tendencies. A veteran of performing live, audience members will be treated to harsh ambience created in a musical manner that is always interesting.

Impact Test Dummy

Seattle's Impact Test Dummy return to the festival this year to show off their unique adeptness for creating compelling digital artifacts, crisp tonalities and efficient ambiance.

Syphilis Sauna

New to the festival this year is Syphilis Sauna who use found sound and electronics to create varied environments filled with drones and odd noises.

- From Canada

G42

G42 is a Vancouver based project that improvises using: location recordings, software, acoustic objects and DIY electronics to create soundscapes of a whimsical or sinister nature.

Failed Machinery

Power electronics meets dark ambient side project of Vancouver based seminal neo classical / industrial act Funerary Call.

Grandpa Big Balls

Noisy alter ego of beloved Victoria accordion abuser extrordinaire David P. Smith, Granda Big Balls threatens to lay down a blanket of aural mystery and noisy cantankerousness on anyone daring enough to come within whiffing distance.

Burning Bush

Nanaimo's Burning Bush straddle the line between musical performance and performance art depending on their mood and temperment. Jumping around on their trampoline of eclectic electronics can be found anything from crinkly aliens to skewed Michael Jackson clones.

Night Ape

Influenced by poorly translated Japanese anime and outsider antics, Night Ape mixes up a ridiculous brew of circuit bent toys, creative electronics, electric rake into a 100% demented freakout.

Skrunt Skrunt

Staple of the budding Victoria noise scene, mad computer scientist Skrunt Skrunt wields his self-programmed custom software applications to lay sonic waste to gigs upon gigs of sample data both via algorithmically generated and
human initiated interaction.

"What is Circuit Bending?" documentary by Derek Sajbel

http://absurdity.biz/Circuit%20Bending/Bent.htm

Derek Sajbel's excellent documentary short responds to the question "What is Circuit Bending?" with enough energy and enthusiasm to instigate a wave upon wave of pilgrimages to the thrift stores of the world", crusading for fresh toys to disassemble. Features interviews with Mike Patton, the father of circuit bending Reed Ghazala and the truly amazing Shinths collective amongst others. This is the Canadian premiere for this film.

Recant - three shorts

Noise progenitor Recant offers up three creepy musical shorts showing a knack for low budget grime and murk.

LoViD - assorted shorts

Experimental flavoured live video mixing meets gritty noise scapes in this collection of noise based slowly evolving video wallpaper. Nice.

Inhalant

Active in the US noise scene, Inhalant offers up a short burst of live footage to represent.

We will also have two classic video game stations setup - one for Super Nintendo and the other likely Atari 2600 or possibly Sega Genesis.

Slight change to the line up. Syphilis Sauna cannot make it due to some emergency family shite so a fellow from Vancouver called Eric has been added in his place (sorry, don't have his last name handy, will post it later when I am home). - Tue, 25 May 2004 6:51am

Slight line-up change for those keeping track. . .

Syphilis Sauna can't make it but in their place we have added local noise monger Ali Bosworth to the bill. Ali uses a laptop based setup to create everything from subtle drones to wavering layers of murk to sci-fi bleeps to distorted crunch (from what I have heard so far). Definitely cool to have him on the bill.

Tickets available at Ditch or via PayPal (and at the door of course).
