Gerald Fiebig helps run the experimental music label attenuation circuit and works with sound in installations, radio, recordings, and live performances. In addition to his solo work, he releases and performs mostly drone-based music as Sustained Development and lo-fi pop songs as part of the trio Jesus Jackson und die grenzlandreiter. The latest addition to his many collaborations with other musicians is a split LP with If, Bwana in unique hand-painted sleeves, just out on Attenuation Circuit.

Non-Lieux
Rodolphe Loubatière - Snare drum
Pierce Warnecke - Electronics
LP release October 2013  
http://www.gafferrecords.com/

This album is the result of an exploration of extremes in dynamics, timber and time between percussion and electronics. The juxtaposition of opposites- whether it be between acoustic or electronic sounds, stagnant or accelerated developments, pure spectrums or extremely distorted ones- could describe this improvised, reactive and electroacoustic music.

Abbott+Yoshikawa
Paul Abbott - Snare drum
Daichi Yoshikawa - amplified object and electronics

Daichi Yoshikawa
Using a variety of inverted, diverted and reinvented electronic and acoustic devices he strikes a constantly evolving balance between harsh atonal feedback and elegant high-frequency constructions. And used to be in a band called Ampersand and has been attending Eddie Prevost”s weekly workshop.

Paul Abbott
Paul Abbott has been a quietly innovative presence in London's improvised music scene for the last few years working with electronics and self-built instruments before more recently dedicating a good part of his energy to the radical potential of an unadorned drumset, notably as one third of lll人 with Seymour Wright and Daichi Yoshikawa - a trio that recaptures free jazz's original ability to simultaneously shock, confound and delight.
