Craque (Matt Davis) combines the sounds of amplified objects and hand-made instruments with hardware effects and analog devices to form looped and layered aural textures.
Craque's work is about discovery: new sound and structure through improvisation, drawing inspiration from chaotic form. To connect with this, Searching for sounds near their source, Craque's likes to think in terms of the "original sound" of an object: how a glass marble sounds on wood, or how an electrical current sounds when modulating itself. In his work, - both sonic and visual -...
Annieji HU Pink! is an improvisational actress, ethereal singer, and tone specialist. With a knack for singing Opera, and a joie de vivre for the mystical experience of life, she is here to understand the art of vibration and share with all the secrets of tonality in relationship to the way it vibrates actual objects and tangibly changes things in our daily life. Tone vibrates through everything. It moves to us, it vibrates through us, it buzzes and hums within us, and all around us. Annie Gholson...
David Kendall is an improvisor and composer from Southern California. David Kendall's musical practice makes use of the logistics of collaboration, as well as digital and analog audio synthesis. The goal is to interface discrete components together to create organic systems, where each part feeds in to others to create an interconnected whole. The presented sound is unitary, highly unstable and often unpredictable. Each discrete element tends to have the power to alter the overall sound dramatically, based on changes to the elements.
David Kendall has released recordings in the...
Phillip Stearns' work lies at the intersection of art, philosophy, and science, drawing upon a variety of disciplines including installation, audio-video, circuit sculpture, writing, performance art and musical composition. Deconstruction, dissection, and reconfiguration are methods he commonly employs in the interrogation of materials ranging from electronic objects, biological systems, images, light, video, and sound. His process is that of reduction aimed at revealing hidden macrocosms of potential, new material for expression, and new paths for inquiries into understanding the state of things. In his work with technology, the machine...
Therisse is currently a student at Cal State Long Beach pursuing a Bachelor's degree in Music Composition with a minor in Film. On her free time she writes music, works at a post production studio, and does her duty as a part time superhero.
The installation she plans on showcasing at Soundwalk is a piece by the name of "Sound of Your Soul." The installation is based around a MAX patch the artists has programmed which uses parts of a person's being to create an individualized piece of music. The patch analyzes...
Departing from the idea that seeing is believing and moving toward the theories that Virginia Woolf and Susan Sontag espoused that visuals often mislead if not outright lead to complacency and even engender disaster, this project aims to "see" visuals from recent and ongoing wars without looking. The aim here is not to call out particular places or photographers, but to do the opposite, to somehow neutralize the terror inherent in a war photograph becoming a market commodity, and a work of art. Like Woolf and Sontag in their...
With an intercultural and inter-media aesthetic and praxis that can be described as "Weltradau" (World Noise), MLuM takes and makes the "best" out of the "worst (and vice versa) that various music(s), images, performance practices and sounds have to offer. Organic and inorganic processes, gong-chime cultures, ethnoise and sound mauls (as opposed to mere sound bites) are among its inspirations and references. MLuM"s creato-researchive interests include: The utilization and/or incorporation of scientific and pseudo-scientific technologies, methodologies and procedures into aesthetic and artistic processes; The aesthetics of sustainability; Sustainability as...
Clowns and Fetuses is a collaborative project that consists of found sounds, spoken word, and various conventional instrumentation used in non-conventional ways. Their ideas are to convey certain historical facts and folklore and in recreating events that may surround these certain facts or lore. In recreating these facts or lore they do research and fact find certain events that might revolve around one aspect of the one historical event we are performing. They also encourage people from our audience to partake in the performance process and add...
Tom McDermott is a current resident artist at the Hive Gallery in Los Angeles and graduated with a degree in Fine Arts at the University of California San Diego. He currently participates in various exhibitions throughout Los Angeles.
McDermott has worked across disciplines having focused on performance, sound based art, video and collage. His conceptual works often analyze post-forms, deconstruction/re-construction and the 'flaw' or 'glitch' as an aesthetic item. In June of 2011, one of Tom McDermott's past SoundWalk projects, the Listening Glass was exhibited at the...
