Featured artists: Francisco Eme - Born in Mexico CIty, currently living in San Diego California, Francisco Eme works as a composer and sound and multimedia artist. His work has developed in the areas of sound art and electroacoustic music, performing pure electronic, instrumental and mixed compositions, sound acts, sound installations and video. He has also done works for dance, theater and media. His works have been presented in México, Spain, Italy, Czech Republic, Canada, Argentina and El Salvador. Alan Jones - Alan Jones is an undersea acoustician and audio engineer. Years of extended exposure to and interaction with the undersea soundscape and the critical, professional analysis of that environment greatly influenced his concepts of music. This career has found translation to growing work as a sound artist and composer. His primary instrumentation are stringed instruments and analog devices, both hand-crafted and found. Low Filth - Scourge music for the autopsy set. Torturous and malformed. Sadistic and proud. Harry Cloud - Michael Zimmerman - As a solo performer, Michael Zimmerman employs layers of sonic architecture to sculpt a new brutalist dronology. Incantations are uttered to further effect cognitive dissonance in the listener. Serious Runners - Super free-jazz noise group from San Diego. With avant drummer Nathan Hubbard, brass blaster Scott Nielsen, math pounder Brandon Relf and instrument magi Lou Damian. First ever performance. Monochromacy - Esteban Flores created the loathe-drone Monochromacy as a need to explore the duality of his psyche. Forces both dark and light created a sense of dread that only Esteban’s monolithic waves of sound could properly exorcise. Listening (and literally feeling) to those crushing yet strangely comforting notes and chords, one cannot fathom that this godly work is being produced only with an electric guitar. Grim yet gentle, doom yet hopeful. this is truly meditation music for the end times. Xavier Ramirez - Xavier Ramirez is a shapeshifter, an intellectual chameleon, a doomsday mirror. His performances are beyond ritualistic. Far beyond performance art into terrifying physical demonstrations. Half urban tumult, half freak-show soliloquy. Although his live landscapes appear ramshackle, decrepit and full of disorder, every movement, every syllable is carefully placed on the table for a force-fed consumption. 10SHUN - Instrumental Noise Beats & Turntablism from San Diego California and explorer of vintage recording devices and mediums. Fátima Courroux - Tarot readings past and present. Know your future? No your past. Gnosis in the highest temple.
