Sara Ayers
Instruction Shuttle v. Mercy_Killah
Helena Espvall-Santoleri & Gloria Justen
The Great Quentini
SARA AYERS (organic/ethereal/ambient): Sampled, looped and layered vocals with occasional guitar washes and warm noise...ethereal atmospheres, dense memories of dreams and sparkling fragments of stories conveyed by a voice that shifts from guttural lows to silvery, trilling highs in the space of a heartbeat. http://www.saraayers.com
INSTRUCTION SHUTTLE v. MERCY_KILLAH (Astromass/Undercity/Deep Unda Brooklyn): Controlled chaos... schizophrenic spelunking...subharmonic experimentation... near life experiences... unoriginal sin... Aural remote viewing to worlds where even robots fear to tread. http://www.astromass.com
HELENA ESPVALL-SANTOLERI and GLORIA JUSTEN: Having collaborated in the past, these two sirens will delicately weave new, dreamy and tempting ribbons throughout waves of bare sound and complicated melody. Helena will play her cello amped with effects. Gloria will play her violin, also amped and with effects. Listen to the two stringed creatures converse in high voices and low moans.
THE GREAT QUENTINI (sweaty Yeti): "Quentin Davis a.k.a. The Great Quentini is a mental health magician. Using alien technologies scavenged from deep in our future race memory, he transforms space into a "childhood disinhibition zone". This CDZ™ technology is powered with the combined life force of the assembled audience and projects a spherical field disrupting the inhibitions which normally suppress your inner child. Although this reemergence of deeply buried childlike thoughts and feelings may at first feel uncomfortable, research has shown that it is non-lethal. These technologies are constructed today by the Great Quentini and use materials salvaged or trash picked to enhance their powers.
