With drum machine pummel and noise-tape squeal Container returns to L.A. to clean out the heads’ heads, and bounce us all off the floor. The project of Providence-bred, UK-based, Ren Schoefield has indeed just increased with the release of a new LP — Yacker — on Alter.

This mind melt of a bill also features Cube – the New York via Bay Area underground traveller – who comes plying fresh strategies for immediatist spectacle. Previous modes have included tape abrazing, software driven A/V manipulation, and “…songwriterly fixations and frustrations in a dextrous style of wounded electronics.” - Alter

Plus Baby Aspirin DVD! Coaxing raw edge sounds via modular and more, the multivalent Los Angeles musician Cordey Lopez fearlessly dives into an electronic metal of his own invention. Come take the plunge.

Your selector for the evening is Mike Stoltz, who has lived several undergrounds and avants, collecting the sickest in sound and song.

On the first of two nights upending L.A. at Human Resources, MSHR unfurls the latest iteration of their live sound-sculpture cycle. Performing in the round on a menagerie of fantastical sculptures, novel instruments that can emit light, audio signal, and data AND – through custom circuitry and software – process the emissions of neighboring sculptures, MSHR coax a wild electronic stew of chirp, click, pulse, zap, and pow, through a four-channel speaker system, fully enveloping the audience in the intermedia drama. MSHR is a collective comprised of Brenna Murphy and Birch Cooper.

Chloé Marrata – formerly one half of the heroic sui generis DIY duo Odwalla1221 – shares her solo project, Slipper. Within, Maratta continues to explore an intuitive and intimate sample based language, a perfect match for her own idiosyncratic vocal style and sassy aesthetics.

No sound concept or technique is beyond the reach of Jonathan Snipes. His all-too-rare solo outings – which can take the form of ad hoc electroacoustic devices or various digital precisions – ever make the sonic seem elastic.

Also come through HR the following night to catch another mode of the Portland, Oregon-based collective’s networked visual artwork, soundwork, feedback, and shape shift, as MSHR performs a live A/V set – Network Entity.

On the second of two nights upending L.A. at Human Resources, MSHR will perform NETWORK ENTITY,  a live audiovisual improvisation which will see their hyper-cyber-extended cinema projected upon the grand wall of Human Resources. Within the video signal and 4-channel audio realm of NETWORK ENTITY, “sculptural and sonic shapes are formally linked in an ever-mutating composition.” MSHR’s interplay with the shape-shifting is, of course, via instruments of their own devise: sculptural electronic interfaces and open source software structures. MSHR is a collective comprised of Brenna Murphy and Birch Cooper.

This event is free, however, donations are welcome. Click above to RVSP and/or donate via Human Resources.
