Visuals by Phase 4

Twine
Twine is Greg Malcolm and Chad Mossholder. Chad lives in Boulder, CO,
and works as a sound designer/composer for a video game company. Greg
Malcolm is based in Cleveland, OH, and works as a digital audio engineer.
Greg and Chad perform together and separately as Twine all over the country
and internationally as well. Both Greg and Chad collaborate on studio
projects, and they have a kind of post-modern digital age working
relationship.

The Twinesound is a structure meets noise vs. melody sound, always morphing
into something new... glitchy beats collapse into warm swarms of static,
long atmospheric drones become abstract soundscapes where cold dark ambience
and stark angular structures meet.

Twine has performed all over the country and internationally as well,
performing with such renowned acts as Thomas Brinkmann, Mark Amerika, Oval,
While, Faust, Mouse on Mars, Janeck Shaefer, Slicker, Richard Devine, Troum,
the Boxhead Ensemble, Marumari, Chicago Underground Duo and Francisco Lopez,
and at everything from outdoor festivals, art galleries, and academic shows
to chill-rooms at rave-type events.

Phase4
Ric Hudgins, AKA Phase4, is a Cleveland, Ohio based visual
manipulation artist who utilizes a large variety of found footage and
deconstructed media elements to put forth a unique visual perspective in a
new, post-digital revolution manner. A Phase4 VJ set consists of more than
just jockeying tapes or running plug-ins. Instead, Phase4 utilizes a
custom-built computer platform, along with a host of exotic software, to
create a performance that interacts with music, rather than simply reacting
to it.

In addition to being an in-demand performer, regularly traveling to parties,
clubs and festivals throughout the Midwest and beyond, Phase4 is a certified
basement dweller. Completed projects include work for San Francisco based
label Tigerbeat6, video for bip-hop, numerous live vj gigs, etc. Projects in
the works include video pieces for Hefty/Komplott/Bip-Hop recording artists
Twine, a VJ label, and Bip-Hop US/EU tours.

Subliminal imagery layered with half-remembered nostalgia, counterbalanced
by a glitchy, organic texture, Phase4's live sets are a collage of sheer
visual intricacy and blissful confusion. No sense is made, its discovered.

Joshua Treble
Joshua Treble is the musical alias of Tony Boggs. Influenced
by everything from the Swans, Farmers Manual, Third Eye Foundation, and
Basic Channel, Tony began constructing lo-fi tracks using ethereal damaged
guitars, disjointed beats, as well as various copyright infringements, while
recording back & forth from cassette to computer.

After sending a demo to Accelera Deck (Chris Jeely) in 1999, Tony and Chris
began corresponding often and decided to start the Aiifm label. Aiifm
released the first Joshua Treble release, the limited Parasol ep, in January
2000.

After a few compilation appearances, the debut Joshua Treble full length
"Cold Filthy Techniques to Keep You Close" was released by Pitchcadet
Records in September 2001.

As gear & interests changed Tony's sound has been distilled into his own
brand of downtempo ambient techno reminiscent of Seefeel or Pan American.

Tony began collaborating with Mitchell Akiyama in the fall of 2001 as
Désormais, whose full length "Climate Variations" was released in April 2002
on Intr_Version. Mitchell & Tony continue to collaborate & are at work on
new material.
