Artist Biographies
• Show Bio for Chefkirk "Working under the inclusive category of noise, CHEFKIRK creates distinctive compositions of sound by combining together improvised drone and harsh electronics forced from a minimal arsenal of boxes with knobs and switches. CHEFKIRK makes his music in Eugene, Oregon, North America." ^ Hide Bio for Chefkirk • Show Bio for Ryan Lewis Contrasts of noise exploration and melodic interventions from Mr. Stonecipher, aka Ryan Lewis, employing a variety of approaches to soundwork both attractive and brutal. "Shadows burn the rain with faces in your lap. Soft shiny numbers of what we have to become. Giant medicine minds give out bags of snakes. There comes a drum on the left window. ...tell them it was Mr. Stonecipher." Mr. Stonecipher is the solo harsh dream sound project of Ryan Lewis. The project dives deep within Ryan's childhood traumas and serves as an outlet and meditative release for the artist using sound. Stonecipher was his birth name thus being adopted by his grandparents becoming Lewis. ^ Hide Bio for Ryan Lewis
