"Dark Inside the Sun is a project of Steve Gigante’s. Steve is also a
member of 7 Year Rabbit Cycle, and has performed in Brother JT and Old
Time Relijun.
* "His performance goes to the extremes between 'INTENSE AS FUCK' and
'SO HEARTFELT YOU WILL CRY'. His lyrics are better than Bob Dylan, and
he is a mean motherfucker on guitar and drums, which he sometimes plays
at one and the same time... you really owe it to yourself to get to
know this man and his music." - Arrington DeDionyso of Old Time Relijun
* "You sincerely owe it to yourself to see this tour. You are missing
something if you do not see it. What you are missing is that part of
yourself that has most likely become lost. Steve will free that part of
you, for the better of course. Steve Gigante lives the travelling
American bard life you always wanted to but never did due to its great
level of difficulty, hardship, and danger. He has the gift of creating
beauty. Truly a hero for our modern times, this DARK INSIDE THE SUN." -
Rives (formerly) of Old Time Relijun
* "A great, itinerant performance artist." - Brother JT
* "Dark Inside the Sun encompasses delicate, harsh atonal folk blues at
hushed whispers to frenzied rants. It's the sound of bones being broken
and the marrow leaking out everywhere. The songs are inspired from the
split arteries that criss cross America's shadow. Dark Inside the Sun
balances
the scratched folk side with deconstructed guitar and drum violence
overlaid by chants that is extremely brutal. Amazing one person
experience of purity and honesty. It's Charley Patton if he was in the
Swans. America rolls around in its own juices. Broken down cars and
wicker couches on front porches. Stranded in Kansas. Stranded in
KANSAS!! The best part is when you get to lick the spoon!"
- EYEDRUM, Atlanta
* "EINSTURZENDE NEUBAUTEN meets Hasil Adkins." - some paper in
Louisville, KY
* "Somewhere between front-porch folk and avant-garde improvisation." -
some paper in Nashville, TN
* "Possibly one of the strangest musical experiences you will
experience, depending on how many da da-ist, one-man-bands you've
seen." - some online blurb
* "One man/cyclone from Knoxville, TN - watch out for flying
drumsticks!" - flyer fron Louisville, KY
* "A man, his electric guitar, his acoustic guitar, an almost-drumset,
a casio, and fifty drumsticks! Describing Dark inside the Sun has
proven impossible. You just have to hear it. If only all poetry was
like this..." - Alamagator on "A Little Nervous"
* BLASTITUDE REVIEW *
Dark Inside the Sun: So That I May Not Die, While I Am Still Alive
(Yeay! Cassettes)
"Heads up for this release, which kind of blew my mind. Dark Inside the
Sun is the solo performance project of a Knoxville, Tennessee resident
named Steve Gigante who has an interesting pedigree, having played with
Brother JT, Deerhoof, and 7 Year Rabbit Cycle. And, when he plays solo
under the name Dark Inside the Sun, he does this one-man tribal
freak-punk explosion, playing drums and guitar at the same time like
he's trying to singlehandedly recreate the Cromagnon album. Kind of
inexplicable and invigorating. And there's another side to his coin -
some songs 'recorded in his van', a fragile and haunting 'folk song'
side, which sounds like one of the few legitimate heirs to the Jandek
throne. Dig it!" * "Dark Inside the Sun brings a raw transcendent honesty to all extremes
of the music spectrum. Consisting of one old soul that sears the air
with unfettered visions of suicide biographies, burning wicker chairs,
coughing swamps and the ghosts of candles. This is the true sound of
desolation and anger brought from the depths of the holes in the air
through deconstructing violent drum rituals littered with shaky melodic
moaning guitars or by gracefully intoning snapping pain willow lonesome
poetics over strummed junk acoustic guitars. Very tense and beautiful
at the same time and carries all human experience from the city to the
country. Evokes the spirit of Charley Patton thrashing in the swollen
Mississippi River where no memories are forgotten... only dealt with.
Maybe someday the levy will break again. Moon bone carving music." -
Matthew Proctor of Pony Bones and Hubcap City (from
Belgium) Projexorcism

16mm banditos with virtual surreality audio manglings combining to twist your mind into balloon animals Spawned in 1999, Projexorcism was begun when Ed Cooper acquired two Bell & Howell
2592 auto-shred projectors and 200 educational films. By 2003 Projexorcism had
defined a unique flavor of experimental hyperactive expanded cinema & has since been
pushing the boundaries of weirdness. Currently Projexorcism is using a quad 16mm
projector array suspended from a lighting pole - the projectors are synchronized with a 4-
channel sound-actuated variable speed lighting controller. The projected images are split,
inverted and bent using silver reflective CD-R's and Fresnel lenses. In May 2005 The
Catawba Council for the Arts awarded Projexorcism an Innovative Project Grant to add a
Film-to-Video Regurgitation Array to their quad 16mm setup. Unbound from the
linearity of film, the 16mm setup is now augmented with real-time video capture,
manipulation & projection devices.
The film is manipulated using various techniques to create new contradictory action
sequences and dialogue. Films are chosen to reflect relevant, irreverent or nonsensical
themes – black history, presidents, Gila monsters. Film often breaks or passes through
the projection gate in a manner inconsistent with film preservation, much to the dismay
of Jedi film preservationists. The kinetic swinging and shaking of the film tree will warp
reels and melt film - CDs fall to the ground - the shriek of optical sound feedback as dust
clogs the sound bulb - the randomly choreographed accidents of brilliance & stupidity – a
space armada of keyboards scoring a photonic overture. T-ak
Music junkie discovers love and vibrations beyond handouts from local
record outlets. Embarks on new musical discovery and finds new
direction making records in basement as part of Noise Bros. Later to
move to Knoxville, TN and explore solo efforts. Currently slumming as
resident genius with "Lee Ranaldo Has Silver Wings".

Electric Junkyard Gamelan
 Electric Junkyard Gamelan is the brainchild of bandleader and composer
Terry Dame. Born out of desire to create an original sound Dame fused
her two passions, making music and inventing and building things to
form this totally unique group. Originally inspired by traditional
Gamelan music from Bali, the group's music is influenced today by a
diverse range of sounds from Indian classical to funk, klezmer to rock
and is shaped by the unique and humor laced voice of composer Terry
Dame. They perform on Dame--s innovative instruments such as the Rubarp
and Big Barp (electric rubber band harps), the Sitello (an electric
cello/sitar combo), the Terraphone (copper pipe horn), the Clayrimba (a
three octave tuned clay pot "marimba") and an arsenal of percussion
instruments fashioned from old farm equipment, turntable platters, saw
blades, and truck springs. The result is a super original sound with
haunting melodies, funky bass lines and layers of dance-able
interlocking rhythms that ride over clashes of metal on metal and
colorful harmonic washes. Audiences are transfixed by the beauty and
strangeness of the unusual collection of instruments on stage and the
amazing array of carefully placed sounds they produce. The five
musicians in EJYG hail from diverse musical backgrounds. Leader Terry
Dame, a saxophonist and composer by training has studied music from
around the world including Indonesia, the Middle East, the Balkans and
India. She has been living and working in New York City since 1985,
composing and performing for film, video, theater, dance, and concerts.  "Electric Junkyard Gamelan makes music so original
they had to invent their own instruments to play it.
It's wild enough to please fans...regardless of genre." --Global
Rhythms Magazine
"transporting...beautiful and inspired sounds" - --Village Voice
"...rhythmic, near-hypnotic music." --HX Magazine
" a scattered mix of foreign music that mixes jangling and banging with
worldly sounds. The EJG definitely knows what it--s playing. It never
feels disjointed or awkward, but always feels out of this world; at
times natural, earthy..."
--Michael Levy, New Haven The Enrichment Center Percussion Ensemble
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=woc14jfR-Hg
The Enrichment Center Percussion Ensemble was formed in 1997 by its
director, multi-instrumentalist and composer Aaron Bachelder, from
interested students at the Enrichment Center in Winston-Salem, NC, an
arts-based day program for adults with disabilities. In doing so, he
established something that had never been before- a professional
performing group whose members have developmental disabilities. In
spite of their lack of prior musical experience, the group began
performing within months of its inception, and had soon performed for
thousands of people in and around Winston-Salem. Among their early
notable performances was one at the opening of memorialist and
architect Maya Lin's first sculpture exhibit (at the Southeastern
Center for Contemporary Art, where they went on to perform dozens of
times), and frequent performances representing both The Arts Council
and The United Way of Forsyth County. The group quickly began
attracting the attention of other artists, and a number of
collaborations followed, including multiple performances with
dance/theater groups Chimaera Physical Theater, the African- American
Dance Ensemble, and the Open Dream Ensemble of the North Carolina
School of the Arts. In 2000, Bachelder was asked to compose a new work
for violinist and NC School of the Arts professor Sarah Johnson,
accompanied by the ECPE, for her new CD entitled "Fiddler's Galaxy"
(Albany Records, 2000). The resultant work, "Nomos", was described by
the online journal New Music Box as being among works that "might as
well be for electronics, the use of the instruments is so sonically
interesting" (along with John Cage and Roger Reynolds). American Record
Guide described it as "delicate" and "unfailingly attractive". Dr.
Eugene Chadbourne, writing in Allmusic.com, called it "what makes this
CD really special" and "inspired" (3 stars). Later, group member Marcie
Haley began to gravitate more and more toward the drumset and away from
other percussion instruments (Aaron subsequently put away his mallets
in favor of a guitar) -this shift, among other factors, pushed the
group in a direction toward rock and away from its contemporary
classical roots. Their next recording, "Three Pieces" (Microearth
Records, 2005, with guests Morgan Kraft, Erich Hubner, and Joel
Lambdin), presented this new conception of the group's sound: pop
structures, textured with techniques and colors of classical minimalism
as well as borrowings from various eastern musics. This recording, too,
has been well received critically: Dr. Chadbourne, again in
Allmusic.com, says, "the project is noble, virtuous, and capable of
inflicting great genius on tobacco country... the opening 'Parallax'
marks promising artistic heights" (3 1/2 stars). GoTriad called it
"mesmerizing" and "hypnotically lush music" and stated that "the band
layers soundscape upon soundscape, leaving me sifting through each
listen, finding new and gorgeous elements to discover". In 2006, the
track "Parallax" was used in a commercial for the Southeastern Center
for Contemporary Art, and the ECPE contributed a new piece,
"Wintersong" to the WUAG (U of NC at Greensboro) live compilation, "18
Watts is Better Than None". Since the recording of "Three Pieces", the
group has gained two keyboardists, and two percussionists have left.
The new lineup began work on a new record in October 2006, with
engineers Morgan Kraft and Erich Hubner, produced by Aaron Bachelder
and Erich Hubner, mixed in March 2007 with Mitch Easter at the
Fidelitorium, and mastered by Brent Lambert at Kitchen Mastering. Guest
musicians include Hubner, Kraft, Winston-Salem's own Jeffrey Dean
Foster, and Vickie Burick of the Asheville- based band Nevada. This new
album, "Ten Songs" will be available Spring 2008.

- 7/12 | VIALKA
The
dynamic duo of Marylise Recheville and Eric Boros have been lugging
their nomadic turbo folk sound and modus vivendi all over the planet
since the turn of the century, originally as the rhythm section of the
performance striptease jazz-punk trio NNY, and since 2002 as Vialka.
They have resided in Switzerland, Slovenia, Canada, and are currently
calling a remote village in France their home between tours. Deriving
its influences from traditional and modern underground music from
around the globe, Vialka's music is based on the frenetic interaction
between Marylise's syncopated drumming and singing and Eric's
orchestral guitar playing - and is delivered with ecstatic energy,
humor, lust for life, and a sophisticated musical language and
subliminal connection all their own. Vialka is not just a musical
project, but a social scientific
experiment, attempting to meet, communicate and work with extraordinary
and little known musicians and artists from everywhere and nowhere
with particular interest in polluted dictatorships, bleak colonies, and
monarchic democracies. They have toured extensively in over forty-five
countries (100+ concerts per year) across Europe, Africa, North America
and Asia, and have collaborated with Italian saxophonist Jacopo
Andreini, Macedonian artist collective OPA, French cinematographer
Laurent Varlet, Swiss inematographer Sébastien Riond, French
eco-designer Cédric Carles, members of the Chinese punk band SDL, the
legendary former-CAN singer Damo Suzuki, and New Zealand drummer Kieran
Monaghan.
