Working under the name DREKKA since 1996, American composer Michael Anderson has toured, traveled, and collaborated extensively. Drekka has released a large body of work on labels such as Auris Apothecary, Dais, etc. Drekka find kinship in the soundscapes and non-linear impressionism of Cindytalk or Coil. But his work is singular, unique, and very personal. Anderson's work dwells heavily on themes of silence, memory, and forgetfulness; functioning as a direct line to the mind and its tenuous cache of memories. Drekka live performances are spontaneous and tailored to the evening, the audience, and the space. The performances utilise primarily live voice and cassette manipulation of recordings sourced from Drekka's archive. These are collaged on the spot using a mixer, customized tape decks, contact microphones, and a looping station.
Chris Sigdell is an experimental electronic musician. He developed a soft spot for early industrial textures and pioneering ambient soundscapes while cutting his teeth in industrial collective NID (1995-2005). He builds an interesting body of work that moves in various directions at the same time. From dealings with ambient and isolationism on one hand and experimental music, ranging from the soft micro-sound end to the more engaging noise end, in a clever combination of ideas... Founded in 2005 B°TONG has toured all over the world and appeared at festivals like Audio Art Festival, Les Digitales, Fab_In, Lab30, Norberg Festivalen, Temple Of Silence, Wroclaw Industrial Festival - playing alongside diverse acts such as Bohren und der Club of Gore, Frontline Assembly, Jozef Van Wissem, Puce Mary, Robert Rich, Thomas Köner, Zbigniew Karkowski etc. Chris releases on Zoharum. Live he uses found gadgets and metal objects together with various effect-pedals to create his soundscapes.
