Complacency Presents: Synthesis Variations: Four Approaches. Homogenized Terrestrials, Soundoferror, Neil Jendon, & Stuart Tilton
Stuart Tilton is a synth builder and experimentalist from Elgin IL, for his premier Chicago performance he presents “Space Madness and The Radio Cage”: a sonic invasion of Benjolin, Vocoder, Filtered Noise and Mangled Live Broadcast Radio that will shatter the Comfort of your Station.
Soundoferror is Daniel Burke & Synthesizers focused on making music exclusively with synthesis of every kind. Hardware, software, modular, & keys. Any form is fair game, though the forms usually tend toward the abstract and experimental. This performance he will use a small Eurorack modular with a focus on Mungo modules, in particular the D0 delay and their unique capabilities. https://soundoferror.bandcamp.com/ https://linktr.ee/danieljamesburke
Homogenized Terrestrials brings Atmospheric explorations that draw inspiration from concepts of time, discovering lost sounds, alien artifacts, translating unknown signals. Phil Klampe has been making homemade abstract recorded sound packaged with immaculate and fascinating artwork since the early/mid eighties. Under the name Homogenized Terrestrials, he has amassed a catalog of intensely interesting and unique recordings in the veins of minimalism/electronic/musique concrete/ambient music well worth digging into. He has been involved with Hal McGee, Brian Noring(FDR tapes), Charles Rice Goff III, Headless Ballerinas Underwater, Rebekah's Tape, Dog Hallucination, and others. https://homogenizedterrestrials.bandcamp.com/
Neil Jendon has had roles as a psychedelically-driven guitarist in Catherine (TVT Records), a more experimental-minded guitarist in the avant-garde group Zelienople, and as half of Abduction (with Michael Miley). Working with improvision, noise, drone, electronic, rock and pop forms. For this event he will be improvising on a Eurorack modular. https://www.instagram.com/dronestry/
