Excited to share the Corporeal Reformation this winter. I will be traveling the west coast with a sonic wave bending into light:
XOVER (Danilo Casti) : Electro-power-noise audiovisual
performance
The project Xover is an electronic sound and visual performance that
runs around glitches, drone noises, field recordings played by
digital and analogue
electronics instruments, a mixture between digital and analogue
sounds, programming and
circuit bending, idiomatic shapes, abstract sound objects and absurd
musical architecture.
PRESENT is a Los Angeles based quartet performing
femininly heavy-experimental music since 2012.Their compositional
process is shared between members with most passages crediting all
four. As PRESENT is the seminal group for half of its members, their
writing and style is idiosyncratically colored as outsider. The tone
of their music invokes influences of 20th Century Classical, Black
Metal, Japanese underground, Anarcho Punk, art and free jazz. Live
shows have been regularly accompanied by performance art, live
video, and improvised noise artists also performed with in
non-PRESENT iterations.
Saxophonist Erin Worra is trained in classical brass, and singer
Angela Gleich has studied and performed flamenco singing. Since 1997
drummer/sequencer Mike Meanstreetz has performed/shown/installed on
both coasts of the US (including the Museum of Contemporary Art in
Los Angeles) and extensively recorded and worked in such varied
forms as musical free improvisation, experimental music,
installation, video, painting, costume, performance art, noise,
dance, punk and metal.
PRESENT's recordings have been released on a split LP and various
compilations by meta and
micro labels based in France, the Czech Republic, Oakland and Los
Angeles.
Their atonal compositions abandon guitars and lyrical form in favor
the angular dissonances of female saxophone, synthesizer, and vocals
seated atop a hectic percussive intensity. Non-traditional linear
song gives way to free form passages, often in collaboration with
other artists. On this tour, Mike Glover supports performing noise.

Teaser
DivineBrick Research Projects traces the steps that connect
all practices. The goal is to manifest a practice that informs and
awakes performer and witness. An exploration in sound and movement
this project continues the exploration of Corporeal Reformation.
Self accompanied (drum machine, the Buto' Fluto' {a wooden head
piece decked out out with circuit bends and an analog synth}, and
loop pedal) josie j structures a landscape to present "Tail of a
Toad" a non-linear long lost story of transformation and corruption.
The product is not a performance but a ritual cleansing. An intense
exchange in which something is always gained as some thing is
burned.
