Goßip Artists:

Some shows and projects that miba has been involved with are the San Francisco Electronic Music Festival at SOMArts, the CEAIT Festival at CalArts, the NWEAMO Festival in Portland, the Sacramento Noise Festival, the Strictly Ballroom Series at Stanford University, the Thursday Night Special, CPEACH in Eureka, and ElectricPacific at San Jose. miba also plays with Bilge-Radiolaria, CMAU, the Brown Bunny Ensemble, and Out of the Loop.

group A: Formed in 2002 by choreographer and dancer Alyssa Lee Wilmot, group A is a dance company that seeks new means of __expression through collaboration with multidisciplinary artists. In the past these collaborations have resulted in performances employing live electronic music, video, motion triggered laser beams, duct tape, and various electronic installations in unconventional venues. For Goßip, group A features dancers Melissa Anast, Bethany Clemen, Amy Dumars, Jez Lee, Jarred McAdams, and Dawn Urista, who present moving body sculptures/performance art, as well as a new work, Trio for Video, incorporating video by Kristin Miltner with music by Cenk Ergün.

Sagan: Jon Leidecker (aka Wobbly), Blevin Blechdom and J Lesser’s soundscapes contain cranky computers, chirpy helium speed loops, big lumbering rock drums, spiky metal guitar leads, crumbling towers of gabber stomp, pastoral piano meanderings, field recordings from bird hospitals, abrupt tempo collapses, and shivering synthesizers.

Tolga: Mark Bartscher, Sudhu Tewari, and Cenk Ergün improvise with laptops and homemade electronics, blending rich ambient textures with rambunctious brutality.
