*BUILDINGS*

Formed in 2006, BUILDINGS is a post-rock three piece from Minneapolis.
Their music is loud, aggressive, and dynamic. Melt, Cry, Sleep” is the
band’s 2nd full-length, and the follow up to 2008’s self-released “Braille
Animal” (recently reissued on doubleplusgood).

*We Drew Lightning*
We Drew Lightning is propelled by Michael Smith's bombastic drumming and
Roland Ostheim's textured guitar work. Loud, Sensual, Engaging are all
words that could describe their sound. We Drew Lightning are a duo of
Ruthless Sweethearts that attack with a wall of sound, but bring you back
down to earth only to propel you again to another planet.

*Pitch & Bark *

Pitch & Bark is a three piece art-rock trio based in Santa Fe, New Mexico –
the group pushes and pulls along the spectrum of sound that guitar, bass
and drums can cover and they aim to take you with them.

Show features 3 drummers pushing the limits of technology and composition.
All drummers play a hybridized drums combining acoustic and electronic
sounds.


*Cory Flanigan*
I was frustrated.  After almost 2 decades of playing in bands stretching
from Peoria to Beverly Hills, music was still not rewarding me the way that
I hoped it would when I first picked up the drum sticks at the age of 6.  I
yearned for more independence and control over my musical destiny.
I consulted with a friend of mine (a bandmate who had become consumed with
manufacturing boutique analogue synthesizers) who suggested the Alternate
Mode controllers and some synthesizers as a solution to my problem. After
some fortunate gifts and horse-trading, I was able to work my way into a
TrapKAT and a Korg RADIAS. My system grew as I spent months camped out in
my friend’s electronic music studio learning everything I could about the
technology.

Now I can push into new venues with this hybrid drum kit, playing both
acoustic drums and triggering synthesizers through the TrapKAT and the
DrumKAT.  I love the power and beauty of acoustic drums and cymbals and the
new soundworlds possible with samples and synthesis.

*Jeff Sussmann*

Percussionist Jeff Sussmann has been playing for over 40 years and teaching
for over 30. His background includes working with numerous groups and
songwriters playing  rock, jazz, fusion, folk, blues, country, R&B,
flamenco, latin, brazilian, world beat, trance, midi percussion and
programs, orchestra, percussion ensemble, modern dance and musical theatre.
He has recorded with Michael Stearns, Eric Darling – “Border Town at
Midnight”, Krishna Dass – “Pilgrim Heart”, Ottmar Liebert – “Nouveau
Flamenco”, Tulku – “Season of Souls”, and ThaMuseMeant- “Live at Tha
Mineshaft Tavern”, “Breakfast Epiphanies”, “Sweet Things” and “Grow your
Own”.

He has studied drumming and percussion with Paul Wertico (Pat Metheny) and
Christopher Shultis (U. of New Mexico). He is co-founder and co–producer of
“The Drum is the Voice of the Trees” drumming and percussion festival, held
on an occasional basis in Santa Fe since 1992. He taught percussion at The
College of Santa Fe, and now teaches privately.

What I see as my small contribution to the future of drumming is utilizing
the heels to play multiple pedals with the feet. I do this in both acoustic
and electronic settings. I play an electronic setup with three Roland
Handsonics, which enables the playing of multiple parts with both hands and
feet, creating the possibility of performing dense mixes of percussion
without the aid of loops.



*iNK oN pAPER*

… as if drum ‘n’ bass took a detour through an electro-acoustic free-punk
Jucifer and had its downbeats addled or partly removed.”-Signal to Noise
Review

“Each a master of their instrument, the duo create tight, controlled,
loop-driven instrumental tracks that will get inside your head and shake
you around”-Santa Fe Reporter

iNK oN pAPER is a drum, bass, and electronics duo from Milton Villarrubia
III (drums and laptop) and Carlos Santistevan (bass and electronics).
After making music together as a rhythm section for 13 years in numerous
creative projects, Carlos and Milton are now honing their craft in a duo
setting exploring the vast possibilities of their instruments and
electronics. Both members play hybridized versions of their instruments
with Milton using Midi triggers on his drums to trigger samples and
processing using Ableton Live and Carlos incorporating analog live looping
and signal processing on his upright electric bass.

The result is a duo that is drags rhythm through the mud in unimaginably
glorious ways.

iNK oN pAPER is currently in the studio recording and working on new
material.

Collectively the 2 have shared the stages with many greats including:
Dennis Gonzalez,Myra Melford, Dub Trio, Claudia Quintet, Lightning Bolt,
HEALTH, The Ahleuchatistas, Sunburned Hand of the Man, Rob Brown, Roscoe
