"Jenny Graf Sheppard is a musician, improviser, filmmaker and sound artist who draws from her diverse areas of interest in the production of work. Using radically different approaches to the use of sound in each project, Graf has made films and music/sound pieces, which directly addresses things such as social spaces, cognition, age and gender. J. Graf has been an active participant in the ongoing thriving international avante garde music scene since 1996. Building vivid, compelling soundworlds using intuitive homebrewed electronics, guitar and voice, her music as one half of Metalux and Harrius as well as her solo project J.Graf has bent the ears and minds of those who venture into her world."
Zaïmph
"Zaïmph is the solo project of New York City artist and musician Marcia Bassett.
In Flaubert's novel Salammbô, the Zaimph is a holy magical veil. Under the Zaimph veil, Bassett predominately uses guitar and vocals to create sounds that shimmer in a dark metallic buzz of sonic noise and drone, before a swift shift into blissed out ragas or crippling, brutal, white-hot noise. The organic improvised elements of Bassett's work leave traces of eerie ghost voices and deep-space echoes that recall the electrified ritual of nomadic Japanese avant-gardists Taj Mahal Travellers, generating towers of electricity that move from malevolent arcs of anti-gravity and spumes of throttled single notes into deep wormholes that do violence to feeble notions of time and space."
Heatsick
"Steven Warwick as one half of Birds of Delay is Heatsick. One of his alltime fave records is Sparks/Propaganda."
