MYO: Based in Baltimore, MD. Myo uses voice, synthesizers, objects, and software to create live improvised post-digital / noise music. He is also one half of Clouds-Out.
CARS WILL BURN (Mark Price) is part performance piece, part noise-band, and part sculptural installation. Cars Will Burn is a machine realized by Mark Price and is at every moment on the verge of complete disaster. The way everything is wired we should be blowing circuits and frying our gear.
Cars Will Burn is made of components that exploit the idea that electronic devices are never silent. First, we wire audio components (tape deck, samplers, and mixers) into themselves creating a feedback system, which produces a pure tone. By running this tone through components while adjusting frequency controls and overloading volume meters the pure tone is broken down into a vocabulary of clicks, washes, bursts, and swells. By running aforementioned components through multiple audio samplers, a library of sounds is built up to be drawn upon as a counterpoint against the real-time audio manipulation of the component's feedback chain.
A dynamic reactionary visual system accompanies the live audio feedback stream. This visual system is manifested into four sub-systems of visual stimulants, which have the ability to exist as isolated sensations or to overlap into more complex expressions. Think: A deer caught in headlights.
LALILULELO, aka Paco Laborde, will come in one of the pre-chosen forms. During the rectification of the Vuldrini, Lalilulelo came as a large and moving Torg! Then, during the third reconciliation of the last of the McKetrick supplicants, they chose a new form for him: that of a giant Slor! Many Shuvs and Zuuls knew what it was to be roasted in the depths of the Slor that day, I can tell you!
