-- Detailed Description of sounds and images --

:: Sounds

- From the States:

Sleeping With The Earth

Portland based Sleeping With The Earth create slowly progressing, grinding noise ranging from that which is moody and emotional to full on dark industrial soundscapes, all served with great intensity and fervor.

Conure

Conure was formed in mid 2000 in Portland as an outlet for Mark Wilson's noisier tendencies. A veteran of performing live, audience members will be treated to harsh ambience created in a musical manner that is always interesting.

Impact Test Dummy

Seattle's Impact Test Dummy return to the festival this year to show off their unique adeptness for creating compelling digital artifacts, crisp tonalities and efficient ambiance.

- From Canada

G42

G42 is a Vancouver based project that improvises using: location recordings, software, acoustic objects and DIY electronics to create soundscapes of a whimsical or sinister nature.

Gauze Suffocation

Power electronics meets dark ambient side project of Vancouver based seminal neo classical / industrial act Funerary Call.

Grandpa Big Balls

Noisy alter ego of beloved Victoria accordion abuser extrordinaire David P. Smith, Granda Big Balls threatens to lay down a blanket of aural mystery and noisy cantankerousness on anyone daring enough to come within whiffing
distance.

Burning Bush

Nanaimo's Burning Bush straddle the line between musical performance and performance art depending on their mood and temperment. Jumping around on their trampoline of eclectic electronics can be found anything from crinkly
aliens to skewed Michael Jackson clones.

Night Ape

Influenced by poorly translated Japanese anime and outsider antics, Night Ape mixes up a ridiculous brew of circuit bent toys, creative electronics, electric rake into a 100% demented freakout.

Skrunt Skrunt

Staple of the budding Victoria noise scene, mad computer scientist Skrunt Skrunt wields his self-programmed custom software applications to lay sonic waste to gigs upon gigs of sample data both via algorithmically generated and human initiated interaction.

"What is Circuit Bending?" documentary by Derek Sajbel

http://absurdity.biz/Circuit%20Bending/Bent.htm

Derek Sajbel's excellent documentary short responds to the question "What is Circuit Bending?" with enough energy and enthusiasm to instigate a wave upon wave of pilgrimages to the thrift stores of the world", crusading for fresh
toys to disassemble. Features interviews with Mike Patton, the father of circuit bending Reed Ghazala and the truly amazing Shinths collective amongst others. This is the Canadian premiere for this film.

Recant - three shorts

Noise progenitor Recant offers up three creepy musical shorts showing a knack for low budget grime and murk.

LoViD - assorted shorts

Experimental flavoured live video mixing meets gritty noise scapes in this collection of noise based slowly evolving video wallpaper. Nice.

Inhalant

Active in the US noise scene, Inhalant offers up a short burst of live footage to represent.
