We Micromanage Infinity (Goode, Blectum, Dimuzio)
Absorbed in modular synth tangles, software snarls, and engrossed with toy noisemakers and birdcalls, audience eye contact can be hard to come by when this supertrio of Blevin Blectum, James Goode and Thomas Dimuzio take the stage. There's no time for guitarface or elvis presley moves when you are fine tuning minutae of the infinite miasma. Humans are not mimetic, as the paypal antichrist preaches to his brownshirts. No, we are strapped into the multiverse, inimitable puppets of fate that can only be steered by simulataneous tugs on our innumerable attachments. It's down to us, we storm-tossed action figures of flesh and juice, to thrash, dance, kung fu grip, and scream ourselves into that tangle, even as we stare into the impassive face of three micromanaging furies. Like all beauty, it's grim.

DJ Female Convict Scorpion
"DJ" as in Shadow, Marclay, Oswaldian Plunderphonics, the term denotes an art of turntablism, or it should! With a rich history of sampling particularly in the Bay Area from Bob Ostertag, Negativland, Culturcide, Invisibl Skratch Piklz and S*Glass right up to the present with Evicshen and Julia Mazawa. Those who know this lineage treasure the larcenies of Josh Pollock who harvests the most sinister sources. His music is indistinguishable from a seance where you're related to the ghosts through cinema, psych, freejazz and philosophy. He plays in psychedelic orchestras like Daevid Allen's University Of Errors but there he wields guitar whereas sampling affords him the widest palette of sound, concept and style, where his wraithic collaborators include Grace Jones, The Skaters, Alan Watts, Scott Walker and Sammy Davis Jr but also the coolest and scariest characters in film. It's a tremendous ability to pull from such varied sources without ending up scattered or tangled. Pollock does it with speed, showing us through the darkest funniest alleys of the briar patch. As with the eponymous prisoner herself, spurn this exploited side-eyed killer only at your peril.

Blevin Blectum

Outtakes and intakes interact and flow freely through shifting spaces, fueling and fusing elements of two recent releases—OMNII / Multitudes of Venom and music/field recordings created in collaboration with the Cheadle Center for Biodiversity & Ecological Restoration (UC Santa Barbara). Long-time collaborator Alex P. Dupuis contributes video images.

Blevin Blectum (Bevin Kelley) develops sonic sci-fi fantasy in its most decadent technicolor forms. “Her work is a sonic dream of an optimistic (if sometimes disquieting) future-electronic-music fantasia, unspooling like a fever dream of whispers, birdcalls, metallic jangles and florid piano samples, breaking into an alien discotheque, bouncing rhythmic filters” (The Wire). Current projects include an ongoing science/art/music collaboration with UC Santa Barbara’s Cheadle Center for Biodiversity, and an opera of sorts for string quartet, electronics, and voices, commissioned by award-winning author/librettist China Miéville. Bevin is half of fabled early-noughties-era San Francisco punk-electronic duo Blectum From Blechdom. She lives in Willits, CA, on a ridge overlooking another ridge, with a cat.
