$10 Suggested Support. NOTAFLOF
An evening of diverse sonic explorations.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Don Haugen is a visual and sound artist based in Eugene, Oregon, occupied USA.
Focus on experimenting with location specific sound and room dynamics, with precision and control. Utilizing a vast arsenal of home-built electronics and re-purposed test instruments to create sonic texture-scapes. Haugen’s compositions range from dense drones, whispering noise to cacophony structures.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Scot Jenerik is a multidisciplinary artist/instrumentalist, instrument builder, composer and sound engineer. He has performed, lectured and distributed works extensively in the United States, Europe and Japan for over 40 years. He has an MFA from the San Francisco Art Institute; founded 23five Incorporated (the first non-profit arts organization in the US, dedicated specifically to the development and increased awareness of sound works in the public arena); is co-owner of Mobilization Records; and co-hosted the No Other Radio Network on KPFA.
Mr Jenerik’s current performance is the piece “The Fall of Icarus”, a 30 minute film and live audio, utilizing a Turkish Saz Baglama, digital tanpura, signal generator, and processing.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Austin Rich has been making ’zines, music and radio since 1993, self-publishing and distributing his own work by hand. For the last 10 years, his focus has been on taking the collage prevalent in his ’zines, and applying it to his music and radio work, carving out a place in Oregon for improvised Negativ-jams and other electronic exploration, under the guise of “Mini-Mutations,” a shortened, stage-ready-version of his weekly WFMU radio program, “Mid-Valley Mutations.” He is proud to note that Don Haugen booked the first show Austin performed, at Icky’s Teahouse in Eugene, OR on Halloween, 1994, performing with Cathead and Holy Rodent. Somehow, they aren’t sick of each other, yet.
For these shows, Austin will be using synths, samples and songs to explore The Future of When, and the way that our past expectations of The Future seem to point to a world that still doesn’t - and probably won’t ever - exist

Free Static is an experimental music project featuring Chris Ruiz and Courtney Stubbert. We (dis)organize sound with any electrical and acoustic instruments or objects that produce noise. We exist in Eugene, Oregon, United States of America, Earth.
