UNDER THE RADAR //

http://www.geocities.com/zygotesf/  ( a temporary home for wayward data )
**new site location coming soon thanks to the amazing praemedia

Zygote's east co(a)st adventure was a huge success by any measure. Last 
Friday's show at THE BUNKER ( 
http://www.crucial-systems.com/crucial/thebunker ) @Tonic in NYC proved that 
Stephen/Zygote can destroy a dance floor, intrigue chin-strokers, and STILL 
have people shaking their asses after they have succumb to the power of his 
DJ skills. Thanks to Chris/Timeblind and company who had me out to play. I 
hope to do it again soon.  FILLER ( http://www.3particles.com/filler/ ) in 
Washinton D.C. was also great. Thanks to Rob/Milo for showing me around the 
city and Richard Chartier and George for hosting me. The Blue Room space is 
great, the staff was friendly and the people at the event were really great.

I'll post a few hightlights and pics of the trip very soon.......

http://www.thewrongelement.com/pornorchestra/

The PornOrchestra is an attempt to radically reinterpret the soundtrack to 
pornographic film. This complicated genre has taken its share of scorn: from 
adult film producers who refuse to pay it any mind to legions of consumers 
who instinctively snap the sound off after pressing Play.

[ March 28th: Field Effects 10 ]

Quiet American presents at 964 Natoma
Field Effects 10: four corners

964 Natoma
San Francisco, CA, USA

The world makes music, remember to listen.

Field Effects 10 offers a night of field recording-based sound art.

The tenth in a series of concerts showcasing the use of found materials and 
field recordings in media art, Field Effects 10 offers a trip in four 
directions: a stop in four corners, where four artists work in four very 
different ways with found sound.

Field Effects 10 features work by Bay Area artists:

::Stephen Ruiz (Zygote)

For Field Effects 10, Ruiz comments, 'my process is going to be the 
real-time manipulation of field recordings: the  recordings will be sounds 
from my [current] road trip. They will be used to emulate instuments. i.e. 
wind as a drum... water as strings.....'

Stephen has releases on Under the Radar and Alectric Records (Canada), and 
is the founding organizer of the 'Under the Radar' experimental music and 
video events in San Francisco.

::GX Jupitter-Larsen (The Haters, Survival Research Labs)
::Kenneth Atchley
::Jeremiah Moore
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[ April 5th: Found Objects Night ]

Bring objects from home and we'll play 'em! Avant-garde, experimental and/or 
electronic musicians will spontaneously create music using only items 
submitted by the audience for sound sources.

21 Grand Gallery
449B 23rd Street, (at Broadway)
Oakland
510-44-GRAND
$6-10

With:
::Stephen Ruiz (Zygote)
::Gino Robair
::David Kendall (from LA)
::Andre Custodio

Please bring one or more objects (just about anything from around the house 
or outside) to be used as sound sources by the artists. You'll get them back 
at the end of each night. The musicians are allowed to bring equipment to 
sample, alter and manipulate sounds.  NOTE: Please do NOT bring hazardous or 
radioactive materials, wild animals or firearms.

::Stephen Ruiz (aka Zygote) uses the mechanized process of electronic music 
production and combines the expression of complex human feelings to create 
sound art. The tools of his output are computers, tape recorders, wires and 
other conduits of noise.

::Gino Robair "is an enormously talented percussionist, with a 
thorough-going musicality and an instinct for the unexpected," says The 
Penguin Guide to Jazz on CD. A core member of the Splatter Trio, Gino is 
well known for his fascination for resonating objects. He also holds two 
masters degrees from Mills College - in Composition and Electronic Music.

::David Kendall is an improviser and sound artist from the Los Angeles
area, currently studying Composition/New Media at the California Institute 
of the Arts with David Rosenboom. Much of DK's work focuses on electronic 
and acoustic feedback systems, or seeks to develop a common improvisational 
language among traditional, non-traditional, and electronic instrumental 
performance practices.

::Andre Custodio is a San Francisco born Multi-Instrumentalist / Sound
Designer / Percussionist with a ten year history as a sonic maverick. His 
performances and recordings range from the fragmentedly neurotic to the 
semi-calm and aurally ambient.
