Area noise artist Andy Way (French Radio, NF Orchest) and avant-vocalist
Ilysea Simpson.+Lauren Murphy (film)

Atman-Sibling is a duo usually consisting of viola and guitar/loops and
drones, instrumental moody psych-soundtrack stuff with projections by Lauren
Murphy. 

Deathray is the duo of Bruce Anderson and Dale Sophiea, members of O-Type
and MX-80. Anderson and Sophiea have been musical partners for over 25
years: after meeting at Indiana University in 1968 where they attended art
and music school, respectively. In 1974, MX-80 Sound was born and quickly
alienated all but the most sophisticated or brain-dead of their followers.
In the wake of MX-80¹s debut ep, ³Big Hits², Island Records released their
first album, ³Hard Attack², world-wide. Since Indiana didn¹t seem the
appropriate place to base a fruitful musical career, the boys moved to
California and were promptly dropped by Island. Two well-received albums and
assorted smaller stuff on The Resident¹s Ralph Records somehow failed to
integrate MX-80 into any musical community.

Maleficia is the work of Bay Area noise artist Andy Way (French Radio, NF
Orchest) and avant-vocalist Ilysea Simpson. Evocative wordless vocalizations
meet torrents of tactile noise, all bathed in reverb, which somewhat mutes
the sharpness of the distortion, static, and turbulent noise.
Cost : $6-10
