june 8 - µ-ziq, Scanner, Pole $17 adv/$20 door |
µ-ziq: Best known as a remixer and producer over the last 10 years, Mike Paradinas aka µ-ziq, has worked under numerous psuedonyms and created some of the most radical takes on drum 'n' bass, ambient and techno music in recent years. This will not be µ-ziq's first project in the Anchorage; he collaborated with Doug Aitken on an installation in 1996.
Scanner: Robin Rimbaud, aka Scanner, is known for recording and performing with a telephone scanner; eavesdropping on unsuspecting collaborators to produce his soundscapes.
Pole: Stefan Betke, who has been recording under the name Pole for only a few years, has done so in addition to running Scape Music, a recording studio in Berlin. Betke is an expert sound engineer, as reflected in his meticulous arrangements of static patterns and electric pulses into subsonic rhythms. |
june 15 - We, Fennesz, Vladislav Delay $15 adv/door |
We: New York's We are made up of DJ Olive, Lloop, and Once 11. World-renowned electronic improvisers and producers, We have obscured genre-labels like "illbient", "jungle", "ambient" among others. Olive and Lloop will collaborate with long-time friends Granular Synthesis.
Fennesz: Christian Fennesz is a member of Fennoberg with Jim O'Rourke and Peter Rehberg. His last solo album, Plus Forty Seven Degrees 56' 37" Minus Sixteen Degrees 51' 08" was recorded during July and August last summer, transforming his back garden into an open air studio, using only guitar and Powerbook. The tension between source and process has produced a powerful and hypnotic work, with echoes of My Bloody Valentine's classic Loveless album of 1991.
Vladislav Delay: Delay is one of the most exciting artists to come out of the Scandinavian electronic music scene. Like some other artists looped under the "glitch" term, Delay is working with incidental sounds: clicks and glitches, fragmented cuts, and yet gives his music an unexpected flow, embodying sonic abstraction. |
june 22 - Ryoji Ikeda, Naut Humon with special guest Kaffe Matthews, Alan Thibault $15 adv/door |
Ryoji Ikeda: Ikeda is well known as a master composer of minimalist electronic textures, but also as a member of Dumb Type, the Japanese performance troupe which appeared in the Anchorage in 1991. He creates music somewhere between Eno's best 'ambient' works and the glitching minimalism of Carsten Nicolai, Oval, etc. His delicate pulses, hisses and tones, mixes static noise with frenetic random looping, and silence.
Naut Humon: Of the many artists who have had a deep involvement in the history of experimental electronic music, Naut Humon may be the name which appears most consistently. From starting Sound Traffic Control studios to launching the hugely influential Asphodel label to jurying the prestigious Ars Electronica prize, Naut Humon has had a presence in defining the terrain for electronic artists. His colllaboration with Granular Synthesis will involve a video remix of the material of NOISEGATE.
Kaffe Matthews: Kaffe's music transports and defies the rules and regulations around sound and performance. With her electronics as her instrument, she still starts each show with no sound and grabs from what's there, making pieces crackling with digita and tones and static, fizzing into pounding beats and cut* to some hanging still space of beauty
Alain Thibault: Thibault is the reigning master of the electro-acoustic scene in Montreal. He is the artistic director of ACREQ, the Association for the Creation and Research of Electro-acoustics of Quebec, which
produces the annual Elektra festival (where Granular Synthesis appeared in 1999. His own experiments with techno and electro-acoustic composition have been his focus as well for many years. |
