LADONNA SMITH
LaDonna Smith will play in the moment, a deeply intense solo set reflecting emotional depth, technical explorations and current personal musical inclinations. In addition there may be a guest or two. As a violinist and violist, LaDonna Smith has been on the international new music scene for nearly 30 years. She is an active performer, as well as an educator and native of Birmingham, Alabama. LaDonna has created a style of improvisation that is uniquely her own. Alternating classical and extended techniques, she explores her instrument, painting scenarios and sound pictures as she plays. She has performed at practically every major improvisation festival and many of the New Music Festivals. She has toured Europe on numerous occasions, playing solo and in collaboration with many musicians. Her travels have taken her from New Music America to the former USSR, Siberia, China and Japan. In addition, she and guitarist Davey Williams have toured North America and Europe many times as a duo.
BISSET & BEINS
John Bisset - acoustic guitar (London); Burkhard Beins - percussion and objects (Berlin.) Bisset and Beins began playing together in 1995 and have toured extensively, as a duo and in collaboration with others. Over the time their styles have developed in very different ways, resulting in a wide range of projects from melodic instrumentals to electronic noise. Burkhard has become one of the pioneers of the so-called "Berlin Reductionism," but also is a member of the "post-industrial" group Perlonex and a frequent duo-collaborator with table-top guitarist Keith Rowe. John leads the London Electric Guitar Orchestra and deconstructs song structures with his band, Pocket, besides working extensively as an improviser. In 2001 their duo CD, Chapel, was released on 2:13 Music.

JULIA HEYWARD
Julia Heyward is a multimedia artist whose work incorporates video, film, monologues and a cappella singing. She will show her interactive version of "Miracles in Reverse" as well as two works-in-progress. All pieces deal with trauma and memory -- some from a local perspective, others from a global perspective. Music performed and collaboratively created with artist/musican Ken Butler. Heyward began her career as a solo performance artist touring America and Europe throughout the 1970s. During the 1980s Heyward’s work expanded into ensemble performances as she formed and toured three multimedia music groups. In January 1981 (a year before MTV’s debut), she premiered 360, a long-form music video. Heyward’s awards include a Bessie Award for outstanding performance of the year (1984,) a Guggenheim and several grants from the National Endowment for the Arts. Her video works have been featured at various festivals, including the Tokyo International Video Biennial, the Mill Valley Film Festival and the Film-X Film Festival, Los Angeles.

DAVEY WILLIAMS
Davey Williams plays improvised guitar. He has performed at most of the leading venues for and festivals of new and improvised music in North America and Europe (over 1500 concerts since 1974); and has appeared on over 40 published recordings, many under his own name. He has performed in groups such as Curlew; in The Knitting Factory line-ups; in a long-standing partnership with LaDonna Smith; as a solo performer; and, as "Cyd Cherise", in Ron 'Pate's Debonairs with the legendary Reverend Fred Lane. Collaborators include Min Tanaka, the Shaking Ray Levis, Gunter Christmann, Anne LeBaron, Eugene Chadbourne, Kramer, Roger Turner, Marcus Eichenberger/Philip Micol, Billy Jenkins, Gustavo Matamoros and John Zorn.
TONY BUCK
One of Australia’s most adventurous exports, Tony Buck’s recent performance activity focuses on solo percussion concerts using only the acoustic sounds of the drum kit and associated bits and pieces. His material is informed by his experiences with electronic music, incorporating ideas of sampling, loops and over-layering. Blending sounds, cross-fading textures and juxtaposing patterns and motifs continue to be primary concerns, as he experiments with the richness and subtlety of acoustic sounds in a living and breathing space. He is the leader of the hardcore/improv. band, PERIL, and has played, toured or recorded with, among others, Jon Rose, Nicolas Collins, Tenko, John Zorn, and The Machine for Making Sense. His solo CD, self_contained_underwater_breathing_apparatus, was released in 2002. Revolver Magazine describes his playing as what happens "when pushing the envelope turns into torching the post office.

ZELJKO MCMULLEN
ZELJKOVISION: A color symphony of math and stars -- impenetrable walls of delicate timbres create a womb-like space, perpetually collapsing in on itself. Projections from multiple sources collide onto a central focal point - manifesting a new composite world. Sensory overload turns into lowercase intrusion, becomes a faded memory, and then disappears. Zeljkovision glasses will be distributed to the audience. Featuring visual projects with Jay King and Justin Craun; sound relationships with Peter Blasser, Doron Sadja, Carson Garhart, Severiano Martinez, and Owen Cannon. Zeljko McMullen: a multi-medium of arts installed, composed, performed, and experiential. Helps run the Shinkoyo art + music collective in Brooklyn and has 5 albums on the label to date. He has performed/installed his work in museums, galleries, and alternative venues across North America, most recently during an installation/performance tour with Doron Sadja - presenting their works as the hybrid entity Sadjeljko.
M.V. CARBON
THE BRIDGE: M.V. Carbon will portray the stages of structural decomposition that occur within architecture, landscape, human physiology, and perception using imagery captured on 16mm film and performed representational compositions. Fragmented field recordings, analog synthesizers, homemade circuits, tape manipulations, and photosensitive oscillations assimilate the disintegration. M.V. Carbon is a Brooklyn based filmmaker, sound artist and composer who uses homemade circuits, samples, guitar manipulations, analog synthesizers and reel to reel tape machines to create eerie and unsettling compositions. She studied at The School of the Art Institute of Chicago and exhibits installations that incorporate 16 mm film and sound. She has collaborated with an array of musicians (including J. Graf in the duo Metalux) and has work released on labels such as 5RC, Load, Hanson and Atavistic.
