I try to keep a fluid approach to creation, never settling on any particular style or setup constantly experimenting with sound & visuals.
Using circuit bent toys/devices & diy electronics to create anything from glitch, harsh noise to drum & bass.
At present using a symbiosis of visuals & sound as much as possible, either visuals to influence sound or vice versa.

I began rewiring & modifying devices in 1999, first hacking samplers then rewiring keyboards, megaphones & anything that generates a noise!

I have sold various Psychiceyeclix bent devices to – USA, Japan, Denmark, France, Belgium, Spain, Sweden, Italy, Ireland, Czech, Brazil, Australia, Slovenia, Russia, Canada, Mexico, Thailand, Canada, Malaysia, Brazil, Canada, Germany, Portugal, and Saudi Arabia…”

Rupunzel’s Headlice (Rochester/Miami)

Improvised duo from Rochester, Newyork and Miami, Flordia

Klimchak and Alexandria Smith

Improvised percussion and trumpet

Klimchak is a composer, performer, multi-instrumentalist and improvisor creating electro-acoustic music for film, theater, dance and live performance. His work focuses on the intersection of chaos and order. His composer side builds elaborate structures of interlocking melody & rhythm. Then his performer side takes over and obliterates those structures with bursts of noise, random drones and slabs of spontaneous improvised sound. While trained as a percussionist, Klimchak employs hand-built instruments, Tuvan throat singing, theremin, daxophone, electronics, and any number of peripheral objects to sculpt a soundscape that wanders farther and farther from the confines and timbres of the drum as the set lurches, evolves, and transforms.

Praised by The New York Times for her “appealingly melancholic sound” and “entertaining array of distortion effects,” Alexandria Smith is a multimedia artist, audio engineer, scholar, trumpeter, and educator that enjoys working at the intersection of all these disciplines. Her creative practice and research interests focus on building, designing, theorizing, and performing with wearable electronics that translate embodied, biological data into interactive sonic and visual environments. To explore how electronic music is embodied through practice, she has been experimenting with ways to integrate biofeedback training and sensor observation into her electronic music, build controllers that go beyond keyboards and drum pads, and perform with interactive visual environments. Her research in this interdisciplinary area was recently published in Arcana Musicians on Musicians X and presented at MOXsonic.
