Tom Djll
Newly returned from an east coast tour, Djll's well honed edge is now obsidian-sharp and gleaming with a ghostly hue that is only achieved through deep practice. Knapping slabs of sound he then sets them in phrases and etches each using timbres from his bag of synth circuits, trumpet and touch to uncover relia and relics from futures as yet unpassed. Close your eyes to see your possible selves unearthed, scraped and feather dusted, then entreated to self assemble in the anthropoid menagerie of vibration.

Tanukispidercat
By dissecting sound into pieces and manipulating these fragments in real-time, she sculpts an ever-evolving and fluid soundscape. Layering, laughing wildly, and staggering ever forwards. To discovering the Tanukispidercat in its preferred habitat is to behold a fragmented, unlikely and chimerical animal endemic to San Francisco. With as many fangs as bright yellow eyes, from crouch to pounce, her blizzard of tooth, claw, fluff, synth and sampler come full fury with lethal-swift paddycakes of pure desire.

Hat Brackets
Well-feared broadcast artist on KALX (The Genderwave), erstwhile member of Gaseous Corpsewater, and prolific collaborator, Ky Nyza's solo sound is yet another world of immeasurable worlds within worlds. Whether bottomless spring or infinite pit depends how deeply you dare to dive. On this night, saxophone might pour through a modular synth rack, or it may just as likely be a bass string caressed 'til it confesses all. What will it tell? How will life go? Only the bravest approach existence with no fixed approach, each step a dance, fully presenting undefended to the curling surge. And only ever together, ubiety, don't sit alone come get some at the Peacock Lounge!

Under the Skin
Silvia Matheus and Thomas Miley approach improvisation as recognition, acceptance, contradiction, and submission — where sound becomes physical, unpredictable, and immediate reaching across electroacoustics and electronics, noise and ambience, through a blend of analog and digital technologies. For Matheus sound, gesture, texture, and physical theatrical presence are integral while Miley combines audio-reactive computer graphics, interactive installations, and physically modeled microtonal scales as elements of real-time composition.
