electronic music since 1971.
He specializes in collaborative, cross disciplinary projects with theater,
dance, music, and media artists, and is
singularly interested in live performance and improvisation. His instrument
is the Buchla Music Easel, an extremely
rare integrated analog performance instrument obtained from synth pioneer
Don Buchla in 1976.

<<Caspar Stracke>> is a video artist , thingist , active member of the
anti-anti alias international (AAAI) and host of
the monthly video art forum STUDIO ONE (off-line) and LOSSLESS VIDEO

<<David Linton>> is a electronic musician & soundscore designer who has been
active in various areas of  the NYC experimental music scene since the early
1980¹s.  Originally a percussionist, much of his work has developed in the
context of interart collaborations with a focus on Dance, Theater, &
Performance.  
  Since the mid 90¹s he has been a staunch advocate of realtime electronic
performance both as a performer and as producer/curator of such ground
breaking events as SoundLab and more recently UNIT¥GAIN.

graphics and in installations.  His compositions
and sound designs have been used in theatres in Seattle, Phoenix and New

art and the development of simple emergent systems and the marriage of
these with artistic visual and musical works.
