A benefit concert for community radio station 2MBS-FM, organized by
the station's Contemporary Music Collective (CMC). 2MBS-FM 102.5 MHz
is a volunteer-operated, subscriber-funded community radio station with
one of the strongest transmitters of any community radio station in Sydney.
It can be heard from the Blue Mountains to the coast and from Gosford in
the North to Wollongong in the South).

The CMC covers a very broad range of contemporary musics, such as dub,
experimental, electronic, spoken word, hip-hop, dance, African, reggae and
more. The programs are presented by volunteers who are specialists in their
musical fields. These presenters have access to the latest news, information
and releases. The programs are on from midnight until 3 am, Monday to
Thursday nights. The CMC started 22 years ago.

2MBS covers the broadest range of music on Sydney Radio: contemporary,
world, blues, jazz, folk, and classical musics. The station has been on the
air for 29 years, but needs your support to continue.

This benefit concert will cover many aspects of this broad musical range
through a mixture of live performances and DJ sets from some of the programs.

Performer bios:

Severed Heads: Since their inception in 1979 they have covered the full
range of experimental, electronic music and video. Tom Ellard (Mr Severed
Heads) is a pioneer in Australian electronic music. They present a warm,
friendly blend of very rhythmic, individual music.Tom has gained world wide
success and recognition for the Severed Heads. Their sophisticated brand of
electronic pop music is much loved and respected throughout the world. Since
1979 the Severed Heads have released many cassettes, records and CDs.
	
Wake Up and Listen: Forged in the crucible of community radio, Wake Up
and Listen (aka WUAL) is a band that specialises in improvised,collage-based
music with a strong basis in plunderphonics and mass media appropriation.
It has been actively apoplectic in Sydney since 1991.

Dr Imperial and the Metric System (DIMS): don't listen to the stereotype.
Their funky, quirky, full frequency beats are highly infectious.  It's music
made for needles.

Donna Hewitt and Julian Knowles : eMic and laptop. Donna and Julian team
up for a duo, pitting a mic stand controller against a laptop in a far-fetched
sonic adventure in deep DSP, waveform mutations and splintered vocals.
For the past two years Donna has been developing, performing and refining
the extended microphone interface controller (eMic), an instrument for live
vocal performance and electronic manipulation. Donna Hewitt works with
voice, environmental and computer processed sound. Donna is exploring
new creative possibilities through the development of real-time digital
performance systems and customised interfaces.  Donna is currently
completing her PhD at the University of Western Sydney and is a lecturer
at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music. Julian Knowles is a well-known
figure on the Australian experimental music scene.  His music draws
heavily on the transformation of location audio and is informed by film sound,
electroacoustic, acousmatic and concrete musics and contemporary
popular music production techniques. Julian has undertaken a number of
national and international tours and is head of The School of Contemporary
Arts at the University of Western Sydney.

Ian Andrews: Ian Andrews is an independent film, video and sound artist
who has been practising since 1981. He has worked extensively in
electronic music and has also made digital animation and net art. He has
had several of his essays on sound published and has spoken at several
local and international conferences.  In August 2004 he has an installation
at an international digital arts conference in Finland.  As well as high
technology he has a great passion for sound from discarded and outmoded
devices which are often severely modified.  He has had many music
recordings released since the early 1980s.

Golden Hyena: prepared vinyl on 2 turntables. Feeding on the rotting carcass
of the music industry's fetid imagination, that reviled scavenger known as
'Golden Hyena' (aka Richard Fielding, of Severed Heads and The Loop
Orchestra infamy) picks the bones of a venal and manipulative business to
find its scant nourishment.  Using its new patented method known as
'Offalphonics'.
