Amphibious Gestures
Experimental electrono forum for extreme panning above and below the waterline. Minimalist oscillation compositions executed through ambidextrous finger work, focusing mainly on the concept of living organisms that can survive on both land and sea, creating war tactics and utilizing sound as weapons, this ever evolving project is open to all forms of ambush and collaboration. Live performances often include reptilian uniforms, humanistic masks, and color morphing lights.

Heartworm
20 year veteran of subterranean music, Brandon Yahiro-Taylor, has recorded and performed in a dizzying array of styles, from free form minimalism to harsh noise to breakcore to experimental metal to indie rock to ambient and musique concrete. On the east coast he founded the seminal net label slum.org before moving to San Francisco in 2003 where he became active with the 5lowershop soundsystem crew, organizing events throughout the bay area.

Not I
Disabused of spurious belief in the imaginary witness, interstellar cellular space that separates person from person and planet from planet affords full immersion in sentience itself. No eye apprehends us, the cathedral is made of space despite propped up walls. The deep organ, synthesis, and time-traversing voice of Not I show you a door to no room, the negative space of ceaseless presence, fission of nothingness. Jason Stamberger - Big ol' honkin space organ and synth, Amy Friebertshauser - Voice, Electronics

Cost: $5
