   Artist Bio

   Neil Wiernik (Canada) began composing electronic music in 1988 with
   explorations in audio art and experimental music. Neil's interest
   in sound and technology has lead him to experiment with altered
   instruments, modified devices, and custom software environments. He
   has presented his work in a variety of public spaces since the late
   1980s, his projects have included works for radio, video, live or
   pre-recorded concerts and internet diffusion. Neil has presented
   projects at the Finland Contemporary Museum, ISEA, Subtle
   Technologies Conference, La SAT, The Medusa Complex, Mutek
   Festival, The Music Gallery as well as other public spaces such
   derelict buildings, parks, bridges and pirate airways.

   Known to push the boundaries of musical forms, Neil's music could
   be described as warm, atmospheric, cinematic and experimental
   electronic music. His sound design is firmly grounded in the rich
   traditions of dub studio culture but can also be weighed alongside
   formal contemporary experimental composition and the grittiness of
   late 90's Berlin electronic music. His music has been described in
   "The Wire" as having "...the kind of sharpness and clarity usually
   lost amid the murk and decay of clicks and cuts and digital
   delays." Neil has released music on various labels from Canada, The
   US and Europe under his own name as well as under the alias of
   "naw". He has also released music most recently as a founding
   member of the ambient post-rock project Whisper Room with Aidan
   Baker (Nadja).

** Wayne DeFehr

   Edmonton, AB, Canada

   Project Name: Wayne DeFehr

   Title: "Solidity of Fog"

   The title is a nod to one of Luigi Rossolo's titular paintings from
   1912, the year before he published his well-known manifesto about
   music, called The Art of Noises. Rossolo's idea was that music
   evolves in complexity, starting from the simple melodies of early
   music to faster and more complex forms over time that reflect the
   evolving sounds created by the increased speed of modern life.
   Perhaps a further evolution of sonic complexity would include
   responsive visual elements, adding another layer of audio
   expression through visual elements that are "painted" with the
   dynamics of sound.

** Jacob Audrey Taves

   Project: Jacob Audrey Taves

My artist website is:
https://www.jacobaudreytaves.ca/

Below is my artist info:

Communicating in a language of errors, hum, crackle, feedback and
found sounds, composer and improviser Jacob Audrey Taves explores
themes of alienation, post-industrial anxiety and the push and pull
between macro and micro social, political and sonic frameworks.
Utilizing the fragile nature of malfunctioning equipment and exposing
unintentional audio artifacts, Taves' work gives errors room to
develop and to have voices of their own in an emotive, free-form
structure.

Jacob Audrey Taves is best known for their ongoing plunderphonic
industrial project HOLZKOPF. They are also a member of ORGANS WITHOUT
BODIES (with percussionist John Brennan) as well as ASSAULT CHARGE (a
punk/digital hardcore band with songwriter and author Eamon McGrath).
Taves was the guitar player for the short lived no-wave three piece
OTHER JESUS. They are curator of the audio/video collage series
INTERIOR NETWORK.

Throughout their various bands and projects they have toured Europe,
Canada, USA, Mexico and Japan, sharing billing with Merzbow, Keiji
Haino, Venetian Snares, Freida Abtan, John Oswald, Mark Hosler
(Negativland), People Like Us and others. They have performed at the
Vancouver International Jazz Festival (Canada), Hamsylet (Ukraine),
Body Machine Body (Estonia), ZNFI (Slovenia), Yaga Gathering
(Lithuania), 4D Festival (Japan) and have been an artist in residence
at Les Pixels Transverseux (Sevres, France), Hammock (Vancouver,
Canada) and PAVED Art and New Media (Saskatoon, Canada).
