Charnel Ground presents: Francisco Meirino, Dead Door Unit, Tzu Ni & ASCH

Coming up at Resistor, Leiden on the 8th of april! Musique concrete, noise and crude sound collages with:

Francisco Meirino (Switzerland)

Francisco Meirino is a sound artist. His work explores the tension between programmable material and the potential for its failure. His interest lies primarily in what is not supposed to be recorded : the end of life of electronic devices, electrostatic noise, hiss, magnetic fields and the unconventional use of music hardware and sound systems. His music combines intricate textures, sonic precision, wide spatial panning and is fascinating by its physical intensity and detail precision.

He mostly uses the modular synthesizer (Eurorack-Serge), microphone and field recorder, reel-to-reel tape recorders, analog tape echoes, electronic magnetic field’s detectors, computer and various home-made electro-acoustic devices.

Dead Door Unit (United States)

Philadelphia-based K. Geiger is active under the guises of Dead Door Unit, Master Grave Services, and his imprint French Market Press producing ultra-limited noise tapes (often 7 copies or less) in unusual packaging that echoes labels like Sound Probe or SFCR. Geiger combines harsh noise with fragmented and psychedelic junk loops to it's full potential.

Tzu Ni (Taiwan)

Tzu Ni is an installation/sound artist from Taiwan who's currently based in the Netherlands. Her work primarily utilises spatial and sonic installations as her practices; as to (de)construct the interconnected relationship between sound, gender and space.

ASCH (Netherlands)

Familiar faces treading unfamiliar territory. ASCH is a Dutch collaborative project featuring members of Svartvit and Geseling. They utilize various methods such as tape manipulation, digital processing, electromagnetic interference and field-recordings which result in feverish and crude sound collages.
