Maria Chavez & Doron Sadja

Born in Lima, Peru, *Maria Chavez* is mainly recognized in the art 
community as an improviser, curator and sound artist.
Her sound installations, visual objects and live turntable performances 
focus on the values of accidents and it's unique, complicated 
possibilities with sound emitting machinery like the turntable.

Influenced by improvisation in contemporary art, her work expands 
outside of the sound world straddling different disciplines of interest. 
This year, Chavez wrote and illustrated her first book object entitled, 
Of Technique: Chance Procedures on Turntable. The book serves as a 
how-to manual for those interested in learning the abstract turntablism 
techniques that she developed with the turntable. This book is 
considered the first sound related release by Chavez since her solo 
album release in 2004.

Chavez also works as an independent sound art curator in NYC, 
collaborating with various organizations and art spaces, helping to 
produce events and festivals that present the latest of what is being 
shown in the sound art world. Being an independent curator helps to 
expand Maria's artistic research when developing new projects for her 
own practice.

She was awarded the Jerome Foundation's Emerging Artist Grant by New 
York's Roulette Intermedium in 2008, and in 2009 she became a recipient 
of the Van Lier Fellowship by The Edward and Sally Van Lier Fund of the 
New York Community Trust. Maria was an artist in residence with the 
Merce Cunningham Dance Company, the Clocktower and the DIA:Beacon 
Museum. She has worked with Christian Marclay and the Whitney Museum of 
American Art in NYC as part of Christian Marclay: FESTIVAL and has 
shared the stage with renowned artists such as: Pauline Oliveros; 
Thurston Moore; Lydia Lunch; Phill Niblock and Otomo Yoshihide.

Over the last decade, (Chavez) has pursued pristine and thoughtful 
turntablist work." -- The WIRE Magazine

*
Doron Sadja* (1982) is a Brooklyn (USA) and Malmö (Sweden) based 
multimedia artist working primarily with multichannel spacialized sound 
-- combining pristine electronics with lush romantic synthesizers, 
extreme frequencies, dense noise, and computer-enhanced acoustic 
instruments to create post-human, hyper-emotive sonic architecture. 
Doron has published music on 12k, ATAK, and Shinkoyo records, and has 
performed/shown video and installation work at Miami MOCA, D'amelio 
Terras Gallery, Cleveland Museum of Art, Issue Project Room, and 
Roulette amongst others. Sadja co-founded Shinkoyo Records and the West 
Nile experimental performance space in Brooklyn (RIP), and has curated 
various new music/sound festivals around NYC.

Doron Sadja gives life to music which is difficult, powerful, intense 
and delicate -- all at the same time." Touching Extremes
For Doron Sadja, out of the silence comes sound. And that sound builds 
into something magnificent." Zaptown Magazine

Anklepants / Föllakzoid / Gunter Schickert

ANKLEPANTSaka Reecard farché_is a one man Mechanical facéd sound 
creature from the depths of the the Australian übergründé.

Anklepants is a perfect specimen.
His eyes nose facé and mouth are perfect.
Anklepants is a live electronic music machine,voice and input from many 
custom controllers and sensors tailored within his suit.

Föllakzoid began in Santiago, Chile from what they describe as the 
result of, "a product of a trance experience between friends, sort of a 
soul abduction in which they've been living since 2008." The band is 
made up of multi-faceted artists: Juan Pablo (bass, vocals) is a 
producer of the Sangre Fresca Music Festival in Santiago, Diego (drums) 
is a photograher, Alfredo (synth) is an architect, and Domingo (guitar) 
is also a filmmaker who just premiered his first feature length movie 
"Partir to Live". They believe that there is some sort of gravitational 
force that makes South America able to dialogue directly with other 
places, times, and dimensions. The band have all known each other from 
childhood in Santiago. They take their times recording albums, generally 
allowing two years in between perfecting their songs with their goal 
being to make something organic, that breaths on it's own, which 
integrates into part of a separate, higher and bigger living organism.

This album shows the band growing an enormous amount as songwriters, 
focusing on more developed songs and structures. Throughout these five 
songs, Föllakzoid craft one of the finest kraut-rock record in years. 
Let them take you on a serpentine journey through their mystical Chilean 
land. Föllakzoid will be making their Us touring debut this spring.

Gunter SchickertThough his name barely registers among most of the 
Krautrock intelligentsia, Schickert was both prolific in the back scenes 
as well as being an important artist. Along with the better-known Achim 
Reichel, Schickert pioneered the echo guitar,on
his first record SAMTVOGEL ( Metronome/Brain ) where the repeated guitar 
tones create unique multi-layered textures that take the instrument 
quite beyond the ordinary.

In 1973 Schickert founded the trio GAM, with guitarist Axel Struck and 
percussionist Michael Leske, and with Schickert on guitar, vocals and 
trumpet this group created a unique sort of freaked-out space rock. GAM 
recorded some jam sessions in 1976, which were finally released on 
cassette in 1986 titled Gam 1976, and an unreleased album called Eiszeit 
in 1978.

At this time Schickert was also creating music for a theater 
company,(Teatro Mu, Hundertfleck ) and even performing live on stage in 
some of the productions. He also served as a roadie for electronic music 
pioneer Klaus Schulze, and sometimes played live with Schulze as well. 
Schickertís second solo album,

In the 1980s Schickerts work in theater production continued, and he 
also took part in a couple of bands, No Zen Orchestra and Ziguri Ego 
Zoo. A third album under his own name, this one a completely solo effort 
with him on guitar, tapes, vocals, percussion, and trumpet, Kinder der 
Wildnis, from 1983 only came out on cassette, though it showed that 
Schickert was expanding into a wider range of musical styles. Another 
collection, Somnambul, was released in 1995 on CD with music from 
throughout the decade and a half before that. Though his recordings are 
few and hard to track down, especially the debut Samtvogel, Schickert is 
an innovative music creator who deserves more notice. In the meantime he 
recorded many tracks that are stillwaiting to be released, HaHeHiHo, 
Bamiyan Camel Recalland so on. There has been a rerelease of SAMTVOGEL 
in Spain,on Wah-Wah- Records in Barcelona that will be followed by a CD 
in this summer in the States on Important Records.He was invited by an 
american group called MASERATI for their tour in Germany and Prag.
