Asha Sheshadri + Network Glass
Asha Sheshadri is a California-bred artist primarily concerned with memory construction and questions of translation. With a strong investment in archival material, she works at the intersection of speech synthesis, sound poetry and field recording. Asha has released work (as well as under the project titles Isolde Touch and Open Corner) via several imprints including Entr’acte Recordings, Recital Program, with a forthcoming release on Anomia.
Hayden Right
Hayden Right applies the logic of the no-input mixer to FM radio waves with the use of radio transmitters and receivers (a la Tetsuo Kogawa) to produce improvised and composed sound works. With the use of simple and replaceable pieces of analog radio equipment placed in conflict with one another, Right emulates the social realm and its economy of reception and transmission.

Jeff Carey
Jeff Carey works with electronic sound but eschews the impassive, near-motionless performance ethos typical of the field in favor of an intense physicality. He realizes his hyperkinetic audiovisual spectacles by means of a custom interface incorporating video game controllers, which he jerks and pushes around as if trying to defuse a bomb that to all appearances is already in the midst of a prolonged detonation.
“He’s acting on raw instinct here – he refuses the clinical approach to programming software or composing music, and strives to throw himself bodily at his machines, replacing all mechanical moving parts with human flesh, blood, and bone. In pursuit of this all-organic goal, virtually everything else is jettisoned, starting with recognizable notes or melody.” Ed Pinsent, Sound Projector on ‘Impulse’ (2010)
