“Salvador España is Sr.Aye. With known languages like hip hop, downtempo or IDM, he tries to take the listener to his world of melodies and beats, so particular and unique as an aye-aye. During the last years he has been collaborating both as producing and managing Miga, a plattform which is working since 2004 on the artistic diffusion. Within this period he released on netlabels and labels like Plataforma-LTW, Minuendo, Addsensor, Impar, Homeworks records, Audiovisualtheorem, Miga...

He also performed several live sets, developing both main ways of his music. One of them more experimental, focused to cultural events and festivals where he made sets mixing abstract hip hop and IDM. Among these events we can highlight Observatori 07, Electrosplash 06, Zemos98 06, Visionica 08, Plug 09, Territorios 08 and many others celebrated at cultural centres, museums and universities.

His first album "Nocturnal Habits" will be published late 2009 in the Barcelona-based label Inrecs. We will listen him also on the O. S. T of the project "Hormigas suben al arbol" made by Puertas de Castilla´s Cultural Center.”

Your favourite colour and flower ::
My favourite colour would be purple.

Your favourite prose authors ::
I guess it's H.P. Lovecraft, I discovered his books when I was 12 years old, I was both terrified and attracted by them and I often come back at them.

Your favourite poets ::
Arthur Rimbaud and Victor Hugo.

Your favourite heroes in fiction ::
Paul Muad' Dib.

Your favourite heroines in fiction ::
Errr no idea.

Your favourite painters and composers ::
I love the work of Claude Monet (but I think it's mainly because I'm living in Normandy), Modigliani and Dali.
And well, there are so many composers who simply hooked me like Joanna Newsom, Sufjan Stevens, Chopin, Erik Satie (very easy this one), Lassi Niko (brothomstates), Richard D. James, Proswell, Sylvain Chauveau, Julien Neto, Felix Petrescu of Makunouchi Bento, Mira Calix and so much more... let's add Michael Land who composed the theme of Monkey Island, one of the best video game theme ever composed in my opinion.

Your favourite heroes in real life ::
I'm so sorry I have no ideas about it, I actually never really thought about it and I just noticed it by trying to answer to it...

Your favourite heroines in real life ::
Errrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr, déjà vu?

What character(s) in history do you most dislike ::
All the ones who don't let them people think by theirselves, they are easily detestable.

Your favourite food and drink ::

And for drinking, it depends on the hour, a good beer during the afternoon and a Suze as aperitif.

Your favourite names ::
Mael, Camille, Cannelle... Anaïs.

Your pet peeve (something that easily annoys you) ::
Hypocrisy, there's nothing worst than someone you know being spiting behind your back trying to make you believe he likes you. Finally, you should just say nothing they could turn against yourself.
Ho well, yes, there is something worst than this, being forced to be hypocrit, you have to everydays of your life if you want to keep your job, appartment, bank account, whatever...
Hypocrisy sounds like the new Courage.

The change you most anticipate ::
A society only controlled by a tiny elite that give us the feeling we are really thinking and acting by ourselves while we don't... No wait, it already happened.

A gift of nature which I would like to have ::
A better and better musical sense of course!
That plus being able to read into people's mind... who said "voyeur!", I'm just interested into how people can betray themselves with some words they can add on top of normal sentences. It happened a lot of time I've been able to "read into someone's mind as in an open book", then people would call me paranoid, then people would finally notice I was right but still, they never feel sorry for this huge reputation of a paranoid I have to overcome everyday (ok, I'm just doing my daily drama).

How I would like to die ::
Quietly and dramatically alone... or not.

What is your present state of mind ::
Bitterness mixed with nostalgia.

Of what fault are you most tolerant ::
Intolerance, it's often due to misunderstanding or "fear of the unknown", once you know that, you can understand it.

Your favourite motto ::
"I must not fear.
Fear is the mind-killer.
Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear.
I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where the fear has gone there will be nothing.
Only I will remain."

Litany against fear - Dune - Frank Herbert.

"AGF (a.k.a. Antye Greie) is a vocalist, a software musician, a producer, an e-poet.
She was born and raised in East Germany and developed an early interest for music, poetry and philosophy.
In 1996, with Jotka, she formed the electronic pop duo Laub, which recorded a series of records on the Kitty-Yo label. AGF became interested in the artistic exploration of digital technology, which is manifested on her first solo record, "Head Slash Bauch" (on Orthlorng Musork), where she translated fragments of HTML script and software manuals into a form of electronic poetry and deconstructed pop. The follow-up record, "Westernization Completed", won an Award of Distinction at the 2004 Ars Electronica festival. Her collaboration with Sue Costabile involving live audio-visual improvisation resulted in the 2006 AGF.3 + SUE.C CD/DVD release called "Mini Movies" (on Asphodel).

Greie's work was rewarded with a cover story on the May issue of the UK Wire Magazine 2006. She runs her own label AGF Producktion and has collaborated with Vladislav Delay, Craig Armstrong, Kataryna Zavoloka, and QUIO. She also performs and records with the laptop quartet Lappetites, which includes Eliane Radigue, Kaffe Matthews, and Ryoko Kuwajima.

Exploring a personal form of poetry into electronic music, pop songs, calligraphy and the world wide web, her entrancing live performances and sound installations have taken place all over the world in museums, auditoriums, theaters, concert halls and clubs. AGF lives and works in Berlin."

“Hey, I am Jan Sturm, one of the founders of aerotone netlabel. I am supposed to write a few lines about me. So let me tell you that I am of course very proud of my little lovely netaudio platform, I am putting a lot of heart in. If I am not listening to music then I am probably changing diapers or sleeping or even found a few moments to record some own sounds as "nuuk". Music is very important even if I can´t play an instrument or read notes, but the funny thing is, I like this way of "improvising". It is there one moment and the other one it is gone and I am not able to reproduce it. Cool thing of limitation that keeps me going on. »

"Joachim Montessuis lived in 15 towns since 72, including Bordeaux - Strasbourg - Toulouse - Marrakech - Abidjan - Besançon - Lille - Rotterdam - Cologne. He lives actually in Paris. He grew up surrounded by Buddhist monks, Gnawas musicians and oriental sacred texts that gave him the sense of ritual and trance in music.
Since 1993 he has developed a transversal sonic poetry praxis focused on experimental voice processings and immersive concerts-installations. His noise and video events are devised and set in context as panic-poetic spaces in which social/sensorial disturbance and blurring occur, through some extreme crescendos going from silence to wall of sound.

He has worked in major European electronic arts centers (CICV, Fresnoy, V2_Lab, KHM) and has presented live performances and installations around the world including places and festivals such as DEAF in Rotterdam, ISEA, ICA in London, Yerba Buena Center in San Francisco, Sónar in Barcelona, Africa Center in South Africa, Rio de Janeiro, etc.

He's been editing ERRATUM since 1997, a small CD+net label devoted to art, noise and experimental sound poetry, and he punctually organises experimental poetic events and exhibitions. He has collaborated with such artists as Charlemagne Palestine, David Larcher, Maja Ratkje, Faustin Linyekula, Serge Pey, Henri Chopin, Joel Hubaut, Jörg Piringer, Franck Ancel..."

"Audio conceptualist Norman Fairbanks was born in LA at a time when it became an ordinary thing that people would begin to utilize synthesizer of inacceptable size and weight in order to create music. His work is focused on the sociological and philosophical state description of American society through a targeted symbolic combination of typical American speech and noise elements with sounds.
Norman Fairbanks is a unique audio concept art project with the mission to freely melt and combine themes from the great American panopticon of modern media with selected environmental, acoustic or synthetic sound, in order to create an unbiasedly, non-contextual neo-expressionnist audio witness and reflection of contemporary American culture. Norman Fairbanks is a fictitious character" (source normanfairbanks.com)
