David Kendall - solo electronic
Monsturo - solo
Bryan Eubanks - solo electronics
David Kendall and David Rothbaum (Monsturo) are both active and well-known figures in the Los Angeles experimental music community. Tonight they are joined by Bryan Eubanks of Brooklyn and they will each present their current solo work with their respective idiosyncratic instrumentation. David Kendall works with software and physical interfaces, David Rothbaum works with a modular synth, and Bryan Eubanks works with open-circuit feedback and samplers. Kendall is an infrequent visitor to the East Coast and this will be David Rothbaum’s first visit to NYC to present his music. Monsturo recently released F-44, a solo LP, on Rasbliutto Recordings and has been receiving steady praise for the album. The music won’t be easy tonight and the room will be full of sound.
David Rothbaum performs on analog modular synthesizer. Current projects include Monsturo (solo) and Dirty Modelz (with Albert Ortega). Since 2003 he has run the record label emr-records, which specializes in putting out music he likes.

David Kendall is from Southern California. He began by experimenting with multi-track audio and degraded sound sources in the early nineties. Kendall’s practice explores the essential, monadic aspects of music-making materials. Improvisation, found electronics, amplification, the self-referential, recursion, and resonance form the basis for much of Kendall’s music. Collaboration has been a central focus of his liveperformance. Groups include or have included the Invisible Music Production Ensemble, Improvisatyrs, Honeycomb Wheels, Others, The Kentucky Knobs, and many others. Collaborators include Jeremy Drake, Jessica Catron, Sandor Finta, Bob Bellerue, Jonathan Zorn, Akihiro Shimizu and many others. He has albums released, or in production, on the EMR, P-Tapes, Bastardised, Alienation, Helicopter, and Anarchymoon labels.

Bryan Eubanks (b. 1977) is originally from the Pacific Northwest. He works with the Soprano Saxophone and an instrument that integrates open-circuit electronics and samplers which he has been developing since 2002 . After casual studies of music as a child, and the serious study and practice of photography, he began playing music in 1998 while living in Portland, Oregon. Since then he has presented concerts across the US and Europe in real-time and improvised settings. He focuses on collaborative and solo musical projects, and has recently been developing multi-channel sound installations. He has released recordings on Rasbliutto (http://www.rasbliutto.net/index.html), a label he co-founded in 2001, as well as Jyrk, Creative Sources, Super Unity, EMR, and Little Enjoyer.
