marcos fernandes - field recordings
robert montoya - electronics

marcos fernandes and robert montoya are it.  it is the
most recent collaborative effort by the two musicians
who have worked together on numerous projects over the
past two decades.  it is improvisation, intuition and
information.  it is texture, tension and time.  it is
an experiment.  it is evolving.  it is not the end.

Born in Yokohama, Japan, Marcos Fernandes has long
been active in San Diego as performer, producer and
curator. He has performed in Japan, Hong Kong, Mexico
and the US as a solo improviser, phonographer and as
percussionist/sound artist with various ensembles,
including Wormhole, a decade-long collaboration with
percussionist/sound artist Robert Montoya. Fernandes
runs the artist-based independent label Accretions,
started nearly two decades ago as a vehicle for his
then worldbeat group Burning Bridges and which now
features some of today's more innovative
experimentalists such as Fred Frith, Barre Philips,
and Scott Fields to name just a few. He is a founding
member of the Trummerflora collective, dedicated to
creative music in Southern California. Fernandes'
recordings have appeared on Accretions,
Bake/Staalplaat, Pan handler and Phonography.org.

damon holzborn - electronics

Damon Holzborn is an improviser and composer who works
primarily with electronics. In performance, he makes
the recognizable unrecognizable, subjecting sound
sources such as guitar and field recordings to
manipulation through custom-programmed interfaces,
traditional effects and interactive processes.
Holzborn is a founding member of the Trummerflora
collective, co-creator of zucasa.com, and has
presented his work in the US, Mexico and Japan,
performing as a solo artist and with several
ensembles, including Donkey (a decade-long
collaboration with musiciann/filmmaker Hans
Fjellestad), Quibble, and Titicacaman (with Nathan
Hubbard and Marcelo Radulovich). Holzborn also creates
music for dance, often collaborating with innovative
dance collective Lower Left, producing both custom
compositions and improvised performances. Holzborn
holds a degree in music from UCSD, where he studied
improvisation with George Lewis, guitar with Celin
Romero, and composition with Frederic Rzewski, Brian
Ferneyhough, Will Ogden and Rand Steiger.

Wobbly is a natural. He believes in allowing
creativity to flow. This belief can be compared to the
difference between a trimmed bush (neat and round) and
a beautiful natural bush allowed to burst forth in its
best array - free to grow. He finds balance important
with a proper mixture. His awareness is superb. All in
all, he is his own self and brings out the best in all
he endeavors to do as he spreads his talents out
across the world like beautiful flowers. Wobbly also
feels that satisfaction in the arts, largely music,
could be a good avenue towards peace for mankind.
"When more people experience the euphoric ecstasy that
could be obtained by sampling beautiful musical
selections from rock to opera, more people will be
less inclined to strife." Wobbly?s work has appeared
on Tigerbeat6, Illegal Arts, Praemedia and many, many
other hidden places.
