LIVE PERFORMANCE: Team Doyobi
'The Team Doyobi aesthetic is based around a merging of both old and new electronic / digital technologies. Largely eschewing the use of samples, they work instead via hand-drawn soundwaves and wave-form editing, generating loops through (often random) Amiga sequencing. Melodies are formed from gritty FX. Shifting and densely-layered. A stunning chaotic space of shifting, glitch-riddled electronics, machine chatter, foggy FX and juddering jerk beats.' (www.fat-cat.co.uk/splitart/splitart01/splitart07a.html)
Team Doyobi are Alex Peverett and Chris Gladwin who will be performing with interactive video sequencing by James Brouwer. All students and graduates of Phonic Art and Time Based Media at Hull School of Art and Design.

LIVE PERFORMANCE / Launch Night: Kaffe Matthews
Noisy rhythms and abstract cyber landscapes - Kaffe's music defies the rules and regulations around sound and performance. She starts each show with no sound and grabs from what's there, making pieces crackling with digital tones and static., fizzing into pounding beats and cut to some hanging still space of beauty. The music is vast, sculpted into textual landscapes, vibrating granular technohymns and beats, via her on stage processing of sound from carefully placed microphones and an occasional violin.

LIVE PERFORMANCE: Kim Cascone
Kim Cascone has been working on a triptych of computer music for the past 3 years. The first two releases "blueCube ()" and "cathodeFlower" were investigations into some compositional techniques he was developing at the time. His final installation of the triptych is titled "residualism" and takes these techniques in a somewhat different description. Instead of embracing long flowing works residualism contains smaller atomic pieces which can be combined and layered in any way for future projects. The inspiration from this came from when he was on holiday in Los Angeles. Walking into a clothing boutique here the owner had a popular sampling CD playing on the music system. Instead of hearing a composite, layered mix of these samples as typically used in techno compositions, everyone in the shop was enjoying a more "atomic" form of music. Instead of the parts making up the whole, the whole was the individual parts. "residualism" is an attempt to utilise this format to explore small units of sound information.
"residualism" was developed for the Lovebytes Festival and is tentatively planned as a CD release on Mille Plateaux/Ritomell later this year. "blueCube ()" was released on Rastermusic in 1998 and "cathodeFlower" was released on Mille Plateaux/Ritomell in 1999.
