Alexander Wendt: "I rarely repeat what I am doing... depending on location and the setting, I adapt my artistic approach accordingly. Sometimes I am interested to play explicitly only with the sonic properties of a venue. Other times I may limit myself to visual aspects. I think focus is important in order to produce something worthwhile. At the moment I really enjoy setting conditions for things to come into existence... of course I am taking great care, but still this can not be controlled easily nor fully, it would be counter-intentive, but it enables me to become audience of my own set up, which is highly entertaining, thrilling if not even addictive ... Also collaborating is great, bouncing ideas, adding differing qualities... creating something bigger than the 'sum of it's individual components', sure I am up for that." November 2011

Tom Bugs designs and builds immersive analogue modular machines under the name BugBrand. His main 'job' is producing these systems for musicians dotted around the globe and while this tends to keep him too busy to play regularly, the designs still very much originate from what he wants in an electronic performance system - physical, surprising, non-computer-based. The setup he'll be using for Active Crossover is a mix of Oscillators, Processors and Rhythmic Generators, patched together with bananas (seriously).

| Ekoplekz is a shadowy Bristol-based experimental electronic musician
who shuns modern digital production techniques in favour of primitive
analogue devices, lo-fi cassette recorders and a spontaneous,
improvised approach to composition. Taking inspiration from ‘Radiophonic' soundtracks, early dub reggae, krautrock and post-punk
D.I.Y. experimenter's like Cabaret Voltaire, Throbbing Gristle and
Robert Rental, Ekoplekz is intent on introducing a new generation to
the kind of raw eruptions of sound that first gave birth to the UK's
electronic underground over 30 years ago. Following last year's debut
12" on Bristol's renowned underground imprint Punch Drunk, Ekoplekz
follows-up with another 12", the "Fountain Square EP", and epic double
cassette album "Memowrekz"on Mordant Music. |

Lee Gamble: Exploring the outer realms of abstraction through digital synthesis/resynthesis, Lee has described his current compositional process as "The configuration of material (ex nihilo) via various digital synthesis methods, prompts further digital disfigurations and reconfigurations (in perpetuum). What you then have left is often the detritus or debris of an idea. Phantasms of both previous and current musical, pseudo-scientific and sculptural influences are manifest as new material abstractions, created from the digital blank canvas. This pure abstraction allows several interests and influences to appear in the works simultaneously"

Phill Harding is a West Yorkshire-based artist who works with sound in a primarily visual-arts context.
His work is often site specific and always site- and context-responsive. Sometimes this takes the form of large-scale installations in which the pre-existent physical architecture is a main aspect of the work.

Matt Wand: Frankly, I can see nothing that differentiates all these people from one another nor myself from them. I have been "HERE" for longer than some but not quite so long as others, what does it matter?. The digital age has created a desperate race by many to seek pathways to ill-defined territories, purchase the exlusive 'Mining Rights' therein and proceed to bulldoze. I have visited many of these area's and carefully, without asking permission or damaging the landscape, taken cuttings from the various 'plant life' still growing there. On returning home many of the cuttings failed to graft BUT some, to my infinite joy, thrived. I note with relief that the Active Crossover performances are 'For Free', and rightly so, after all my friend, why should you pay to be told what you are convinced you already know. |

Jonathan Coleclough transforms the delicate sounds of everyday objects into mysterious and sensuous music. Starting from raw sounds as diverse as water boiling on a stove, sheep bells ringing on a remote hillside or pins dropping onto the floor, he creates music of richly textured drones and fragile details. In live performance this process of transformation of the everyday is illustrated by live video projections that show close-up details of him using the objects that serve as his instruments - be it a sheet of glass, a burning sparkler, a metal bowl, or a melting ice cube.

Mark Durgan first released cassettes in 1986 under the name Putrefier as part of the fledgling power electronics/noise scene of the 1980s. Subsequent releases have appeared on Broken Flag, RRRecords, Harbinger Sound, No-Fi, PAN and his own Birthbiter imprint. Recently it has been rumoured that he is working with The New Blockaders.
Now recording under his own name, Mark uses an array of homemade electronic devices and a 'pressure' sensitive synthesiser to combine short snippets of electro-acoustic composition and environmental sounds. Inspired at least in part by Musique Concrete, the resultant work is quieter and more subtle than his previous releases.

Joined By Wire formed in 2002 after returning from All Tomorrows Parties, the Bath based trio with no formal musical knowledge quickly cut their teeth with a dual guitar/drum instrumental racket that resulted with one gig and one favourable review. This was more than the joinedbywire could have ever dreamt of.
After the tragic death of their guitarist Sara in 2007, the group consolidated into more noise/drone based territory and have been happily annoying neighbours and audiences in both duo and solo guises.
