d e t r i t u s . n e t dedicated to recycled culture

Upcoming:

March 28: Fuzzy Bunny and Steev Hise
FUZZYBUNNY, which is Chris Brown, Scot Gresham-Lancaster, and Tim Perkis, consists of high-energy, dense live improvisation and composition, using an assortment of homebuilt electronic and software-based instruments. FUZZYBUNNY mixes classical and raunchy electronic sounds with fractured pop music artifacts. This show will feature material performed on their recent European tour.
STEEV HISE has been creating experimental music, performance, video, and internet art since 1990. At California Institute of the Arts he studied composition with Morton Subotnick and Wadada Leo Smith, sound design with Tom Erbe, and cultural studies with Dick Hebdige. Hise's work centers around the appropriation and recontextualization of pre-existing cultural artifacts; in other words, making new art from the old. He has performed his work across North America, in Europe, and Australia. Tonight's performance will involve found-video collage projections accompanied by improvised live audio collage produced using Hise's custom Linux software instrument, The Syntagm Engine.

Documentation of past shows:

• February 28: Thomas Dimuzio and Kadet Kuhn
• January 24: Johnny deKam and Carl Stone Johnny deKam: deKam's performance will be comprised of a variety of improvised pieces from the body of work developed over the past year. Each show always includes newly digitized material, and incorporates live cameras with found objects obtained at or near the performance venue. Tonight's show also includes a new piece entitled "Flagday" which originates from the web documentary of the same name http://www.flagday.tv/, which is an exploration of post sept. 11 'patriotism' shot and a deconstruction of San Fransisco beatbox performer Yuri Lane http://www.yurilane.com/.

He has composed electro-acoustic music exclusively since 1972. His works have been performed in the U.S., Canada, Europe, Asia, Australia, South America and the Near East.

  Coelecanth - Loren Chasse and Jim Haynes, who together conjure a swarm of textural sound fragments from crude electronics, ancient bells, and manipulated field recordings into a phosphorescent drone. Coelacanth always offers something visually striking to complement their evocative minimalism. Previous performances have found an army of strobe lights raking through large panes of shattered safety glass, a stage shrouded in diaphronous fabric which billowed outward in reaction to a few rotating fans, and the flicker of dozens of candles set across an entire floor of broken Christmas bulbs.
  Donkey Chipper - 4 members of San Diego's Trummerflora Collective bring us an all-electronic set.
