HÄNDER SOM VÅRDAR (Sweden)

This show marks the Los Angeles debut of Händer Som Vårdar, a young Swedish purveyor of industrial noise with releases on Posh Isolation, Throne Heap, and Järtecknet. Wresting concrète and sparse electronic sounds into the mix, HSV riffs on artifact and accident, using detritus as compositional fodder to assemble a pulsing bricolage of scrapes and drags, precisely ripped.


FREE THE LAND

Free The Land is an evolving project of change agent Jesse Sanes. A media diary of environmental impressions natural and domestic, it has manifested in print, collage work, soundmap contributions, guerrilla internet performance, and - most recently - as live electronics. Notably more "sit down" and cerebral than the visceral howl and scowl of his solo act Liebestod, this direction pulls field recordings, found sound, and computer speech into a compost of synthesis and free manipulation. For this outing Free The Land convenes as a collaborative trio with Sanes, Frederikke Hoffmeier – who aside from the disquieting dynamics of Puce Mary also collaborates with Sanes in JH1.FS3 – and Nial Morgan who has played it harsh and loose in solo projects Wrong Hole and Race to the Bottom. This performance precedes the live unit’s first out-of-town appearance, in late July at Envoy Enterprises in New York.


LES TEMPS BARBARES (Mexico)

The solo project of Tijuana-based Pablo Dodero Carrillo, Les Temps Barbares weaves a fabric sonically familiar while deftly off-kilter. Long and loose drum machine reps are little ballast in the shifting sands of oscillator drift and fragments selected and effected. Difficulty expressed, sublime and asynch.
