Sterile Garden
The banal and sublime collide with entropic abandon, ploughed deep by the mindful hands of Jacob DeRaadt, stalwart craftsman of industrial aesthetics and musique concrète. Constructing antimusical and musical sounds around film by manner of crude tape manipulation, intense cut-up, and harsh noise. Coming all the way from Arcata for this rare live performance, it’s up to you to cross the final mile now. Bring your deadest hopes to plant inside the Peacock Lounge, then listen close.

Jean Carla Rodea
Mysteries can draw you in, this is more than a mystery. Rodea’s music is a summoning. Either you make like Odysseus and plug up your ears or abandon yourself to a far better fate among her waves. Sound can captivate, this is more than sound. Narration, song, and clear purposeful action situate her music closer to a myth-action not so much ritual as an actualization, an interaction with time, matter, space and whatever this wet electric stuff binding sleep and wakefulness might be.

Human Deselection & Realization Nature Group
Beast, glove, and misunderstanding, raised awareness for a razed world. Let that stoned-stereo bumblebee from Ummagumma finally sting you. Quit swatting and ducking, it’s time to hurt, swell up, rise with the oceans, gyre together with the blessed forsaken, preterites all. Anthony A. Russell and Michael Goldwater are tone scientists the likes of whom Socrates gladly beer-bonged his hemlock, never guiding, but nudging your ears astray.

Sissisters
Inside bone lies channels of marrow, basest goop locked in silence where it swells and seeps to form first stromal blood then century-surviving ivory. Snap your skeletal sarcophagus and life itself glistens, horrific in its beauty, rich in ugliness that only those attuned to fragility dare hunger for. Sissisters, the seventeen year sustained harsh noise project of Pat Murch, dwells like marrow in sonic hematopoiesis, sound and blood once entombed now race through each surging vessel accruing to undying memory. His remarkable practice, having founded Mata Gallery in LA, now includes O S Press so bring bucks if you know the value of rare, careful and exquisite print.
