the NºZONE TRIO Vs MOSTRA

   Accomplished keys player and composer Anthony Coleman has gained
recognition as an inspired player and talented standout of the avant-garde
and klezmer-oriented jazz coming out of NYC's downtown throughout the '80s
and '90s. Coleman has performed and recorded with just about every
musician involved in this downtown scene, including John Zorn, guitarist
Elliot Sharp, David Moss, renowned trumpeter Dave Douglas, premier
accordian player Guy Klucevsek, David Shea, former Captain Beefheart band
member Gary Lucas, classical and klezmer clarinetist David Krakauer,
guitarist Marc Ribot and many more. Coleman has performed and recorded all
over the world, with his groups Sephardic Tinge trio -- they've toured
Europe three times, and released two CDs -- and Selfhaters; all of their
releases are on the Tzadik label. Found on the related Avant label is
Coleman's Disco by Night, a recording inspired by his experiences in
ex-Yugoslavia. Through most of the '90s, Coleman and saxophonist Roy
Nathanson have co-led projects, performing all over the U.S. and Europe
together. The duo have also recorded several albums, including Lobster and
Friend. Coleman has received commissions for his compositions from various
ensembles including Bang On a Can, Concert Artists Guild, and The
Crosstown Ensemble. His compositions can also be heard on harpist Carol
Emanuel's Koch release, Tops of Trees, and Guy Klucevsek's accordian
extravaganza, Manhattan Cascade, among others. ~ (Joslyn Layne, All Music
Guide)

The "NºZone Trio" lineup provides a context where Anthony gets to do
something he'd rarely do anywhere else - namely: play his vintage 'Farfisa
Compact' 1960's combo electric organ through a Moogfooger in an entirely
electronic setting.

CHARLES COHEN - Buchla Music Easle

   Based in the Philadelphia area, Charles Cohen has been amazing and
challenging audiences for over 20 years. His music is entirely
improvisational and produced solely on a vintage Buchla Music Easle analog
synthesizer. An avid collaborator, Cohen is best known to NYC listeners
from his many inspired improvisational sets with the cream of the crop of
NYC electronic and acoustic musicians as well as stunning solos in many
multimedia contexts. His sound ranges from challengingly abstract
tonescapes to pleasantly rhythmic and infectious percolations. With few
commercially recorded works available, Cohen prefers to concentrate on
creating realtime Electronic Music in the setting of the live performance
space. In his own words: "Atmosphere, landscape, and travel are what my
sounds are about.  Collaboration and exploration are what my process is
about. The simple intent is sharing my favorite pastime with others."

DAVID LINTON - Assorted Electronics (analog processed 'circuit bent'
digital drumboxes +... ) 

   David Linton has witnessed the sun's rise and fall on nearly 4 decades
worth of american subcultural music practice.  For the past 2 1/2 of these
decades he has lived and worked in NYC - first hitting his stride as a
'downtown' drummer in the early 1980's. (See early recordings: Rhys
Chatham, Glenn Branca, among others soon to see the light of day).  From
the drums he moved to solo performing, live electronics, and computer
assisted composition and sound design for dance and theater - etc... (more
than a dozen scores for choreographer Stephen Petronio - and a couple of
noteworthy works for the Wooster Group- among many others) His mid 80¹s
solo release "Orchesography" (Neutral 14) represents downtown sensibility
at the crossroads of post punk, primal noise, early sampling technique,
and theatrical post modernism. 
   By the early '90's an experimental foray into venue building ( as 'in
house' producer at the 'hausofouch' loft in Chinatown) led to
transformative zeitgeist events (Ouch, Sensate, SoundLab, & Step Forward)
and a burgeoning absorption in the multimedia design parameters associated
with the 'immersive' movement.  By the late '90's a perfect balance
between audio and visual elements in the live electronic performance
environment was sought with the launch of the Unit¥Gain platform and
integrated modus operandi. From here it was a curious but natural
progression to the community media architectured explorations of Unitygain
Television (1AM Sunday mornings on MNN CH 34/mnn.org ­ still running). At
present, in his own music, Linton seeks to build a (con)temporary
structure (as in: ?shelter¹ to house the diverse creative offspring of his
endeavors 'under one roof'.  He will present his first solo audiovisual
work: "Stroboscopy: Bicameral Research: GODBOX 101" in the Roulette
Mixology Festival at Location One this spring. 
   David is the instigator of this grouping... 

MOSTRA is a duo of video artists Gabriela Monroy + Caspar Stracke who also
work with interactive video installation and single channel video. Their
video work has been shown in the US, Mexico, Brazil, Germany, France and
UK. MOSTRA conglomerates and transforms images according to single themes,
mostly sociological and architectural motives. Harvesting the net as their
primary image source, they juxtapose raw content in which images are
treated like text fragments (sometimes literally, in ASCII code).
