Vortex (music) -- Vortex are Satoshi Takeishi (Laptop audio processing & Percs), Shoko Nagai (Piano, Toy piano & Concertina) with special guest Dan Truman (violins and Bowed-Sensor-Speaker-Array (BoSSA: an instrument of his own design and construction). Vortex explores the possibility of sound sculpting through 20th century music, free improvisation and real-time audioprocessing. By extracting, magnifying and modifying the past musical event, they make "passing of time" a visual experience. They will be performing with Dan Truman, who is an extraordinary violinist and improviser with his own unique instrument.

Daniel Vatsky (video) -- Visual artist Daniel Vatsky utilizes a wide variety of media, software and hardware to create unique systems of data and signal processing. He performs solo and with the a/v groups V4, Screen Memory and Kijk & Luister, with projects ranging from transcontinental multi-use installations to performances with slide-projectors and found objects. http://www.skyvat.net

Aaron Halley, Sean Smith and Patrick McCarthy (music) -- The trio perform improvisational electronic music combining musique concrete with free-folk post-electronica. They manipulates source material with DJ techniques and sampling via old-fashioned cassette-tapes, riding over acoustic instruments and real-time drum-machines.

Adam Kendall (video) -- Adam Kendall is a Brooklyn-based multimedia artist performing regularly in NYC. He composes and improvises music and video in digital and analog mediums, working solo, with his a/v duo Hellbender Film Projekt, and in collaboration with other artists. http://www.hellbender.org

Criterion & Doily (music) -- Doily uses one sampler and a few outboard effects to create lo-fi, repetitive, rugged breaks with a hint of dub and hip hop; Criterion creates live broken beats utilizing rap's rugged breaks and techno's repetitive edge-- One laptop, one Sherman Filterbank and one man. http://www.broklynbeats.net
