Shatter Pattern is an interdisciplinary music project (formerly waxy tomb) using polyrhythm, repetitive loops, textural sound, vocal processing, and procedural geometry to build and disrupt sonic expectations in song, and expand our multimodal sensory understanding for what a recognizable song can be. Shatter Pattern has performed at The Lab, San Francisco Electronic Music Festival, Algorithmic Art Assembly, and has been released on Embalming Lately (NYC).

Japanese experimental musician Shin Chida’s current work has shifted away from his early efforts at tape manipulation to a more obscure sound influenced by 2000s Michigan noise. Using tape delays, contact mics, synthesizer and concrete sound sources, initial experiments under the name Burried Machine were self-released in 2008 on his label, Rockatansky Records, with releases on Lust Vessel and Throne Heap following. Since then, he’s continued to perform live based in Tokyo. Rockatansky’s catalog includes releases by Grim, Nate Young, Wolf Eyes, and Aaron Dilloway.

Chris Cooper aka Angst Hase Pfeffer Nase has been at is since the 1990s ‑ worked with noise-rock performance artists Fat Worm of Error, founding member of improvising ensemble The BSC. As a solo artist (and a duo with Jess Goddard), his prepared guitar-playing “moves from tight, rhythmically frenetic passages to sparse, sonar transmissions, introducing a pulsing section of low-frequency oscillation, then slipping into a series of filigrees. There are door buzzers, chiming percussive effects like a miniature gamelan, drum machine mutations and much more. His completely improvised sets are controlled splatters of sound.” Glistening Examples, Ultra Eczema, and Menlo Park have released fine examples of his often jaw-dropping work.

The electro-acoustic sound collages by S*Glass combine tape music, electronic processing, voice, found sound, and chance operations. Non-musical objects are sometimes incorporated (dental floss, aluminum foil, wind-up toys, metal lunch box, cabbage). The overall effect is one of surreal disorientation. With releases on Siltbreeze, Chocolate Monk, and Minimum Table Stacks, S*Glass is a founder of Bren’t Lewiis Ensemble (a large non-musical music group begun in the early 1980s), and Glands of External Secretion (a duo with rock musician Barbara Manning since the early ’90s). From the late ’80s until 2004, he was the main driver behind Bananafish. Record labels he has helmed include Butte County Free Music Society, Starlight Furniture Co., l’Esprit de l’Escalier, and Freakdom.
