BIOS : AUDIO

sebastien roux (F) (12k, apestaartje, t um') (live)
Sebastien works at legendary Paris electronics lab IRCAM where he's in charge of development in the room accoustics team. Beginning as a guitarist in various experimental post rock-ambient bands, he now produces low-key pieces of digitally processed guitar that brittle and burst with a spectrum of intricate detail. Understated, mesmerising work.

motion (UK) (12k, fat cat, term, t um', 8bitrecs) (live)
London-based Chris Coode makes stunningly subtle works out of sensuous vestiges of melody and digital space. Releases on 12k and Fat Cat focus on warm tones, lo-fi creaks and bass frequencies: beautiful low-volume listening music. Chris' set was one of the highlights of last year's London Headphones Festival, and the recent HighPointLowlife tour with O.S.T. and Si-cut.db.

recon (UK) (highpointlowlife) (live)
Under the Recon moniker, Chris is increasingly taking a different direction, going for a much darker deep dub sound reminiscent of Basic Channel and the Berlin school of stripped out techno.

duff parka (UK) (8bitrecs) (live)
Mysterious Scottish laptop wizard making possibly his first public appearance. Out of the bedroom and into the daylight: expect to hear the early stirrings of sonic genius.

plus decks + fx from slow sound system residents

iMax (UK) (grain of sound, ministry of loud): laptop piano lounging
albert (F) (8bitrecs, kabuki kore): drones
