Event
The Shape of Minds to Come
The combination of these five artists at the same venue on the same night is definitely not to be missed.
John Duncan: constantly guiding the cutting edge of audio events from his years in Tokyo and Europe, his recent Japan tour, live events and recordings with Zbigniew Karkowski, Eiko Ishibashi and Jim O'Rourke.
Carl Michael von Hausswolff: groundbreaking solo music for decades, acoustic experiments from EVP "ghost" recordings to sounds heard in the territorial waters of the Fiji Islands, collaborations with stars from Joachim Roedelius to Jonsi from Sigur Ros to his own daughter Anna von Hausswolff.
Scot Jenerik: performing on instruments that he has designed and built, providing audiences with spectacular shows where, to his repeating rhythmic cue, his instruments launch columns of fire.
Schneider TM: years of dazzling European audiences with his solo work, landmark performances with ex Pan Sonic member Ilpo Väisänen in the duo Die Angel.
Chandra Shukla: tireless researcher defying the limits imposed by genres, his music ranging from performing with live electronics to studying gamelan in a pilgrimage to Bali, to learn from a true master.
Seeing any one of these artists perform solo is a night to remember.
Seeing them performing together on the same stage...? Simple, no argument: a must.
JOHN DUNCAN has operated for decades at the cutting edge of performance, video, experimental music, installation, pirate radio and television. He has played a pivotal role in the development of performance art in Los Angeles, of experimental music as a member of LAFMS, of Japanese noise and pirate radio in Tokyo. Duncan's work in experimental music continues to have a lasting influence as his art overall continues to be honed, refined, sharpened.
Recent events include MANTRA, a multi-channel surround-sound concert for voice performed for sellout audiences at Immerson 7 (Montreal) as well as the Flussi Festival (Avellino) and Swedish Energies V (Brooklyn), RED SKY at Cabaret Voltaire (Zurich) and MAXII (Rome), TERRA AMARA with Coro Arcanto for Angelica (Bologna).

SCOTT JENERIK is a multidisciplinary artist/instrumentalist, composer and sound engineer. He has performed, lectured and distributed works extensively in the United States, Europe and Japan for over 30 years. He is co-owner of Mobilization Records, has an MFA from the San Francisco Art Institute, founded 23five Incorporated (the first non-profit arts organization in the US dedicated specifically to the development and increased awareness of sound works in the public arena) and co-hosted the No Other Radio Network on KPFA.
Mr. Jenerik's explosive performances, incorporating hand built instruments of metal and fire, are infamous both around his home of San Francisco/Portland and throughout the world. Combining elements of Kodo drumming, drone and noise, Jenerik transfers the intensity of physical performance into a throbbing soundscape of rhythms, drones and direct elemental contact.
Mr. Jeneriks recent recorded work has been the abstract, non-representational dark ambient project AUME (with Chrome drummer Aleph Omega). All releases have a hand sculpted physical container which is integral to the work. An example of this is his solo release of an album made from cement that is playable on a turntable and is housed in a handcrafted hardwood box. In addition, his experimental short films have been shown in film festivals internationally.
