Terror Apart
Pow! Blamo! Zeph! Terror Apart combines the absurdity of noise with the intellect of sound. Mainly working with percussive instruments and vox in previous music projects, her sound art is an experiment with eerie intergalactic electronic efex, very physical noises with wind instruments, field recordings, and sometimes some smashy smashy. Her performance makes mystic and comical sense of a lifetime of aural chaos - cartoons, white noise, sinks running water, fire alarms, outer space, ancient cows lowing in mesopotamia, what the food pyramid would sound like if it talked.

Rubber O Cement
"… in 1994 Rubber O Cement was put together as a direct idea for a super science future that will happen. …For the Luggage Store Gallery, Rubber o Cement is presenting The Man O Sores project. It is a collapsible development with Errth values based on sunlight and exposure to soluble minerals. The convincing super-functions of this creature is the suit which covers a virus laden sore-filled bacteriaphaged
body under a Aamma Gristle (a sore enhancing "body") Shanking Cabinet © surrounded by a canopy of detachable (and widely stretchable) sun receptive wings. Most of his body is suspended over a main hydrogen poulet tube flushing it with pulch ice from an underground garbage-geyser resource pool. In each suite Rubber O Cement plays you will hear the crunch of the minerals softened by gift card effects and hangnoose."
