A Special Luggage Store Concert
8:00 PM From Vienna: Ease
9:00 PM Ease + adams + greenlief + hanes

Klaus Filip and Noid (Arnold Haberl) are experimental electronic musicians from Vienna, Austria. Here in San Francisco to present their free, open-source music composition software, lloopp, at Expo '74, the first annual Cycling '74 Max/MSP conference, this special Luggage Store event will be their only live public performance in San Francisco. They will play one set as "ease" , their laptop duo, and be joined for a second set by local improvisers Steve Adams (rova sax quartet) and Phillip Greenlief on saxes, and John Hanes on electronics.

Almost all of klaus filip's art projects have been driven by technological possibilities and the social need to change structures. Among them subVoice(an underground tapemagazine), Sigis Bruder(early electronic songs together with singer Sigi Ecker), Christof Kurzmann's Orchester 33 1/3, Zentrifuge, short films, theatre, dance, sound-installations. he is the musical and electromechanic father of BigBaby, an outstanding intermedial project around a sculpture build by Red White and brought to life by the movements of Cynthia Schwertsik. klaus filip is the inventor and never sleeping developer of the open-source software "lloopp", a musical instrument on the computer to provide open structures for live-improvisation, used by many well-known electronic musicians.

while he used to play on the edge of a computers abilities in the past years, he is now reducing the processes to mere sinus-waves, overlapping with themselves and the ever sounding surroundment of a place; searching for the individual limits of perception. Colaborations with Radu Malfatti, Werner Dafeldecker, Dieb13, Christof Kurzmann, Boris Hauf, Christian Fennesz, Jason Kahn, John Butcher, Sabine Marte, Gilles Aubry, noid, Cordula Bösze, Silvia Faessler, Taku Unami, Taku Sugimoto, Toshimaru Nakamura and Kai Fagaschinski ("Los Glissandinos")
more on Klaus Filip

noid /aka arnold haberl, *1970, living in Vienna
with his music he tries to understand the reality of sound we live in. of course this reality is including imaginations, wishes, dreams and acoustical halluzinations as well as the sound of the fan of his laptop or the wolf-tone of his cello.
his sensual approach, once in a while assisted by structural concepts, can have a wide range of contradictory outcome, that is always to be understood as a concentrate (essence), leaving out irrelevant points. It's up to the listener to extract a digestable dose.
