Artist Biographies

"Turntablist Joke Lanz creates autonomous sound-cells that melt into a language free of any function. He combines ritual reductionism with anarchistic playfulness, atmospheric soundscapes with cut-up noise and physicalness with unpredictability.

Best known for his international acclaimed Noise project 'Sudden Infant', Joke Lanz is presenting his work since 25 years all over the world. Born in Switzerland and currently operating out of Berlin, he is one of the most prolific and profound artists working in the border zones where performance and body art meet Improvisation and Noise.

Joke Lanz has released his works on some of the most prominent record labels in the noise underground i.e. RRR, Schimpfluch, Tochnit Aleph, Blossoming Noise, Entr'acte, Artware, SSSM, Klanggalerie, Some Bizarre, iDeal Rec and performed with the likes of Peter Kowald, Christian Marclay, Rudolf Eb.er, Z'EV, Carlos Giffoni, Daniel Menche, Christian Weber, Charlotte Hug, Christian Wolfarth, Astro, The New Blockaders, GX Jupitter-Larsen and many more."

Matthew Taggart is an American experimental electronic musician based in Fargo, North Dakota, best known for his long-running noise project PCRV. Initially involved with free improvisation and extreme music as a bassist, he founded PCRV in 2001 and increasingly shifted toward electronic sound after discovering the noise underground, working with guitar pedals, microphones, modular synthesizers and other electronics. His music ranges through harsh noise, improvisation and musique concrète, often emphasizing abrupt cuts, dense textures, drones and rapidly changing electronic structures. Taggart also founded Fluxus Montana, originally in Billings, Montana and now based in Fargo, as a cassette, CDR and digital label supporting experimental and noise artists.

+DOG+ / Bastard Noise
Desecration Tales [VINYL]
(Love Earth Music)
Two long-standing experimental sound projects join together as Legendary Bastard Noise, aka Eric Wood and +DOG+, aka Steve Davis, combine for two extended and well-paced works of dark sonics and electronics, the first piece "Misery Milestone" a haunting and desolate soundscape with disruptive punctuation; the 2nd "Beneficiary: Earth" adds agonizing voice to a work of global arpeggiation and destruction.

Jupitter-Larsen, GX
Ross Distracted [VINYL]
(Love Earth Music)
Each side of this LP from The Haters mastermind GX Jupitter-Larsen is a minimalistic noise work in the style of The Haters, built from loops and extraneous sounds, obscure and curious and each side ending with a giggle; you either need more of this kind of sonic opaqueness, or perhaps you too are a Hater.

First stock of this 1999 7" from French sound artist Eric La Casa created as part of Joe Colley's "Explorer" series, the title translating to "the shore breathing" where each composition develops from field recordings of water, the first part more naturalist and adhering to the initial recordings, the second using sound processing to create something unique and mesmerizing.

Void [7" VINYL]

Wassermann, Ute
Chimeric [VINYL]
(Thin Wrist)
Expanding the voice into a mutable electroacoustic ecosystem, Ute Wassermann combines breath, multiphonics, growls, whispers and animal-like calls with bird whistles, jaw harps, hydrophones, drums and brass megaphones, creating six vividly spatial pieces where body, object and environment continually merge, fracture and reform.
Reid, Virginie
Mille Soleils A L'oeil Nu [VINYL]
(Virginie Reid )
Montreal composer Virginie Reid layers piano, synthesizers, samples, voice, Jeremi Roy's resonant double bass, and Erika Angell's spectral vocals into five patient electroacoustic works, moving from fragile melodic gestures through cavernous drones and luminous choral textures in an intimate, nocturnal meditation on grief, vulnerability, memory, and the persistent search for light.

Money
4 [2 CDs]
(Love Earth Music)
The mysterious Massachusetts project Money returns with a two-disc set of dark electronic glitch and oppressive texture, its four long tracks moving through distorted pulses, damaged surfaces, brutal eruptions and long stretches of seismic stasis, creating a difficult but focused sound world of innuendo, tension, disruption and slow-moving electronic pressure.

Electrical Field of Love [VINYL]
(Pi Recordings)
Uniting the long-running trio Harriet Tubman with vocalist and multi-instrumentalist Georgia Anne Muldrow, this expansive set channels collective, largely spontaneous composition into a powerful blend of jazz, funk, rock, and electronics, where incantatory vocals and dynamic interplay drive a deeply expressive free-flowing exploration of texture, groove, and emotional resonance.

Forged across continents in Amherst, Bern and Shenzhen, Annie Aries, Brian House and Marcel Zaes transform the glitches, delays and temporal distortions of online connection into rigorously structured rhythm, as locked vinyl grooves and network artifacts collide in a tightly choreographed performance that reframes digital failure as percussive invention.
