Udosson from independent label Petit:Unique Records. He is the son of Udo. A two metre tall creator of minimal-esque soundscapes. Hailing from a remote village in the idyllic Vogtland, hidden deep in the eastern part of Germany, the ‘big friendly giant’ spent his youth exploring the woods and climbing rocks looming amidst the comfortingly rustling treetops.
It was there, in the damp of the woods, that udosson developed his fine feel for subtle sounds. Nature was his teacher and he soon began to implement the fine sense of nuances, the natural dramaturgy of sound arrangements, and the intriguing simplicity as found in nature, in his own musical creations.
In 2007 udosson released his first EP ‘excelsior’, a musical adaptation in 6 acts of the legendary ‘Project Excelsior’ in which Joseph Kittinger undertook three extreme altitude parachute jumps from an open gondola carried aloft by large helium balloons.

My name is Adrian Zalewski, from Poland, the name of my project is zheimeer. Here you can hear Shvinkt 1 from the album Anacolutha
I play electronic music: I am especially interested in deformation,
distrotion, noise, but not used in “heroic” way (like Merzbow)- they are
just means to attain what I call desperate grotesque, deliberate
clumsiness, pathetic attempt not to be pathetic:)
I love clusters and dissonant randomness! the ideal would be to create
fusion of disco and contemporary music (e.g. Sabrina + Stockhausen :);
do I talk rubbish? this is it, my music is rubbish!
I use hardware synthesizer, sequencer and guitar; during live concert I
am sometimes being supported by my friend playing guitar, which I
modulate in a weird manner…
Currently, I am working on a project involving mixing and mutilating
classical (in an actual sense, not general: from the period of
Classicism) and romantic music, which I call: MISINTERPRETATIONS.
Coming straight out of an old dusty lab, Dr. Von Pnok is not your average mad doctor. Inspired by composers like Koji Kondo or Aphex Twin, the failed scientist tries to digest his influences using old music formats.
Living as a recluse in his pixelized mansion, Pnok is obsessed by the art of programming chips and bending toys. Precise and unhurried, he tirelessly spends every night experimenting the science of DIY. With a unique combination of fast breakbeats and powerfull pulses, he creates a disturbed Lo-Fi music aimed to the brainfloor.

Luca Carvalho comes from Brazil and makes stop motion animation. In this original project he uses USB flash drives as soldiers to make a recreation of Second World War conflict.
The use of the technological device of media storing and transportation as a human being emulates relations with the information war and the memory achieved of every person.

Jamie House is a pinhole photographer. His work is currently exhibited in Goa International Pinhole show,travelling to New Delhi,Mumbai and Goa. Here is an interview about his practice with author of the Pinhole Camera, Brian Krummel
My practice is producing imagery using mail art and pinhole photography to examine the role of the stranger in society and why we are interested in people we don’t know, these images show chance encounters and intimate double exposure visual portraits,of people who have not met in person and only meet by the mediated gaze of the pinhole camera, relates to our way we remotely interact with others in the information age.
Jamie recently built Englands largest camera Obscura

Peter Eramian was born in Nicosia, Cyprus. In 2007 he graduated from Goldsmiths College London with a first-class B.A. (Hons) degree in Fine Art and History of Art. He recently completed his M.A. in Philosophy at Birkbeck London with an awarded distinction for his dissertation on Nietzsche’s philosophy of life-enhancement.
Currently, besides his obsessive enthusiasm for Shoppinghour, Peter is a contributing editor for Naked Punch journal and working hard honing his technical video skills in a 6 month residency at Fabrica, Italy. In October he is set to return to London to begin his PhD in Law (with emphasis on political philosophy regarding human rights and education) at Birkbeck. Peter’s creative practise lies in capturing the cliché as it surfaces through a raw documentary style treatment wherein certain truths are twisted and put into question, with emphasis on representations of the apocalypse in popular culture.
Here we present his work Utopia from the Disaster Series
This scene from the film When Worlds Collide (1951) is composed with a shot of the World Trade Centre in ruins from the film Armageddon (1998). Though fictional, it closely resembles original footage from 9/11. Fiction becomes a startling reality and reality is left in shock. The scene’s operatic closing scene shows the lead couple and child marveling in awe at actual footage of the Twin Towers collapsing.

Elizabeth Jane Hayes is a graduate of Massachusetts College of Art and Design where she studied photography. These images are meant to reflect a study of Italo Calvino’s Invisible Cities.
Exploring the potential of the landscape, I wanted to create my own world while still referencing the one we are living in today. Elements of the photographs do not seem foreign, but instead suggestive of a dream-like state. This is a place meant to take you away.
Here is an interview with Elizabeth in Photo Archive.

Timur Kuyanov aka Sonomute is sound artist from Siberia living in Berlin. Working in areas of sound art, performance, installation art with strong influence of ancient spiritual practices as well as modern generative art techniques, dada and surrealists esthetics and psychedelic culture.
Here we present a live track recorded last 26.04.2010 at Madame Claude in Berlin.
For most of his sounds he uses small self-made synthesizers as well as Supercollider on Ipod touch. We enjoy his sounds and the minimalistic concept of his proposal:
The idea behind is to develop new embedded technology into real music instruments, and prove that with amount of equipment which fit into your pocket you can get quite a impressive sound quality as well as make it look interesting for public.
Artist hiding behind laptop is the main failure of computer music, and multitasking concept making it even worse, people never was cutting wood and playing melodies on guitar for example, why shall modern artist check e-mail on his instrument as well as perform in concert hall? (even though in case with many percussive instruments it is not quite true, i agree, but this is another case, they went through long process of development), so even if i’m in general like computer as an sound generating source, without limiting it’s functionality i can’t call this office machine “music instrument”.
With new wave of embedded technology like single-board computers (Beagleboard for example) and powerful mobile platforms like iphone and Android with it’s ability of physical interaction (built-in accelerometers,multi-touch screens) and lack of multitasking (yeah, i know about iphone os 4.0;) these devices much more feels like something that you can take and play as an instrument…Well, you can read about this more in my future final thesis!
Well, needless to say that we are excited about these new fresh ideas… in the meantime know&hear more in Timur Kuyanov Soundcloud Site.
