Joe Colley 
+ 
Michael Gendreau 

Joe Colley (b.1972 Ft. Lauderdale) is a self taught
artist concerned primarily with the phenomena of sound
and it's unique ability to activate a consciousness
set apart from rational understanding in a way very
different from visual or verbal means. This consuming
interest has led to extensive experimentation with
results occasionally made public through performances,
installations, and commercially available recordings.
These experiments have encompassed abstract electronic
composition, amplification of natural phenomena,
investigations into phase, and creation of complex
mass from layers of simplistic sound material. Growing
up in California's central valley, Colley has
travelled widely making field recordings and
researching various cultures with a focus on ritual
musics and the art of the insane.

Michael GENDREAU was born en Californie (1961). A
musician since age 6, Gendreau went along to work with
several group organizations, culminating in Crawling
With Tarts (1983 ? 1998), and using this group as a
medium (along with the various uses made of it by
co-founder Suzanne Dycus) for work in elementalism,
attention to temporal and environmental persistence,
and eventually, applications of parataxis. These final
studies included the use of small motors and turntable
mechanisms, mostly performing with one-off
transcription discs cast by others in the middle of
the last century, or cut in Gendreau?s studio using a
decrepit lathe. More recently, in composition and
performance, Gendreau has sought to enlarge these
later studies, adding physical parameters of
performance spaces (as a point of reference, based on
studies in physics completed in 1989 and current work
as an acoustician?primarily working on low-vibration
design in buildings and noise impact to optical
research apparatus in the infrasonic to audible
frequency range) as a language within the paratactic
structures that form his compositions.

Every Thursday, Outsound and Detritus.net present
unusual, experimental and improvised music at the
Luggage Store Gallery in San Francisco. Located
downtown, it's the longest running series of its kind
in the Bay Area. Indoor bicycle parking is available,
and we don't mind if you bring in outside food and
non-alcoholic drink. (Taqueria Cancun is next door!)
Nobody will be turned away for lack of funds.
