Work/Death
Providence, Rhode Island based Work/Death, operated by Scott Reber, is an intersection of musique concrete, electro-acoustic improv and composition, field recording, drone, harsh noise, physical performance, and the pop song. As the name suggests it is a labor of determination, focus, and quality accumulating over a lifetime. For the past 10 years he has synthesized sounds of the 20th century. His multimodal composition process navigates effortlessly between the intellectualist Avant Garde and the noise underground with its violent removal of musical structures. Paraphrasing Reber himself, "David Tudor or Alvin Lucier as prototype wall noise via early mapping of crunch, crumble, cracks, crackle, ruptures, space, and moving air that would later be central to The Rita, Macronympha."

Mike Shiflet
Active in the Ohio experimental music community since 1998, Mike Shiflet is a former member of Sword Heaven, Burning Star Core, and Noumena, and also ran the GMBY label until 2008. Utilizing guitar, laptop and analog devices, his solo work is a unique mix of noise and drone with melodic components scattered throughout. His 2010 self-released CD Llanos and most recent LPs for Type Records received high praise from outlets such as NPR, Pitchfork, and The Wire.

OMEI
OMEI is Chris Goudreau's (SICKNESS/Ninth Circle Music) heavy electronics/ambient/black drone project. Pounding modular synth, churning loops, field recordings and slow, thick drone merge together to create what Goudreau has defined as “SICKNESS can be though of as a thousand thoughts in 10 seconds. OMEI is the same thought for 10 hours…rework, reconstruct and re-ruin, with the final result of some kind of resolution.”

Alberich
Alberich is the long-running and constantly evolving heavy electronics project of Kris Lapke—longtime Hospital Productions audio engineer and member of metal transgressors Ash Pool. While recent Alberich action has skewed toward the rhythmic propulsions of industrial
and avant-techno, this evening's set will be an all new journey in to ambience.
