David Kendall
David Kendall is from Southern California. David Kendall began by experimenting with multitrack recordings of degraded sound sources in the early nineties. David Kendall's focus soon shifted to feedback, as an audio phenomenon and as a general principal of recursion in the sound world: first explored in plucked string instruments, then in found objects, found electronics, found computers, and (in the present day) very expensive "top-of-the-line" computers with tons of RAM. David Kendall's music is very performative: improvisation and realtime control are the norm, and much of David Kendall's musical output has been within the context of small ensembles playing improvised music. Projects include or have included the invisible Music Production Ensemble, Improvisatyrs, Honeycomb Wheels, and The Kentucky Knobs. Collaborators include Jeremy Drake, Jessica Catron, Sandor Finta, Bob Bellerue, Bryan Eubanks, David Rothbaum, Jonathan Zorn.
David Kendall earned his MFA from the California Institute of the Arts, where David Kendall with David Rosenboom, Mark Trayle, Laetitia Sonami, and many others.

STIMBOX
“The kind of sounds that suffocate the mind and force it to pay attention. With large chunks of harsh noise the sound weaves the listener in and out of consciousness. A complete joy for the unexpecting soul” - Joe Lombardo
TINA BUTCHER
Tina Butcher's noise experiments include butcheR & smeaR and her new solo noise project If Rebecca Horn Played Guitar. Both pieces use house hold objects such as a lap top, vibrator, chop sticks, and tooth brush then filter and distort sounds, beats and samples from daily happenings with effects processors, pedals, and a sampler. butcheR & smeaR and If Rebecca Horn Played Guitar are both explorations of daily tensions, anxieties, fears, and neurosis.
BRAN (...)pos
bran(...)pos from San Francisco, CA has blundered his way through nose sounds and electronic mish-mash since 1993 with a theatrical performance history that extends back to childhood (under various stage and screen personas, including child actor Jacob Donner and actor/sound designer Jake Rodriguez). the bran is currently continuing his investigation of various forms of performance and music synthesis, with a focus on sonic plasticization and voice manipulation using both hardware synthesizers and a custom set of software-based sound gremlins that interface with the real world via tactile control and performances rounded out with facial interpretations and physical gesture (suzuki and biomechanics-trained/butoh and max fleischer-inspired). this all combines for an experience that is heavy and heady like a metal band doing xenakis covers/ridiculous and magical like popeye sitting in for jean-jacques perrey (popeye and kingsley). full length cds are self-released on Chitah! Chitah! Soundcrack with a new 2005 release in the works titled Quick Martyr/Deified Danger Duck. bran has been performed from Belgium to Boise alongside many of today's most enigmatic and prolific sound and performance experimenters.
XOME
Xome is an harsh noise project conceived and operated by Bob Scott Sato. Xome brings some of the most rude and abrasive sounds to the noise world.
Xome started to lark about with weird sounds around 1989 mostly using computers, synthesizers and midi sequencers. The sounds of Xome eventually evolved into a more free form, scratchy sound by means of more sound processing and the use of any and every source possible.
In May of 1994, Xome relocated from it's home in San Francisco to Tokyo, Japan. In Tokyo, Bob immediately met like-minded musicians (noisicians) and quickly became a part of the bizarre Tokyo underground noise circuit. Bob joined up with artist Eriko and noise/hair guru Shin'ichi Tanaka. In Tokyo, the newly restructured Xome trio performed under the same bill with artists like Incapacitants, C.C.C.C., Killer Bug, Merzbow, Yoshihide Otomo, Satoru Wono, Seiichi Yamamoto, (Boredoms, Omoide Hatoba), Violent Onsen Geisha, Little Fujiko, Yohei Hasegawa, Grand Mother Fucker, Pain Jerk, Cult Junk Cafe, Kiyoshi Mizutani, Barrel Organ, Death Squad, Stimbox, Astro Twin, Urgesnake, Government Alpha, TV Pow, Crack Feirce, Crack Steel, Kazumoto Endo, K2, Melt Banana, TV Pow, Kirihito, Multiplex, Mo*Te, Yukiko, MSBR and more. (Enough for the name-dropping!) During the long stint in Tokyo, Xome's sound developed even further, becoming harsher and more raucous but never losing the element being a fun noise project.
In late 1999, Xome relocated back again to San Francisco. Xome continues it's offensive with live shows all over the U.S. Since returning to the U.S., Xome has performed with the likes of Sleeping with the Earth, Stimbox, Instagon, Thomas Dimuzio, Cock E.S.P., Pedestrian Deposit, Uberkunst, Black Leather Jesus, Goat, Taint, Concrete Violin, Rotten Piece, T.E.F., Critical Theatre, Deconstruct, Delayed Sleep, SICKNESS, Products of Conception, Pop Culture Rape Victim, Vertonen, Compomicro Dexall and many others.
