Safety Scissors:
----------------
A picture of his then-present girlfriend adorned with gag-store
glasses, brandishing a pair of children's scissors, this token of
good luck followed Mr. Matthew Patterson Curry everywhere when he
started DJing. Cutting his teeth as a weekly resident of San
Francisco's Static club - and Surrounded by the likes of Kit Clayton,
Sutekh, Twerk, Kid 606, and Matmos - MPC was provided with musical
support and inspiration for first forays into production. Under his
Safety Scissors moniker his first records were logically lumped into
what was referred to, at least by German patrons, as "SF Laptop
Techno". In May of 2000 at the very first Mutek Festival, Safety
Scissors bashfully debuted his singing and electronic music in a live
context. The dimly-lit dub-tinged techno pop was culled into Plug
Research album Parts Water, which received wads of international
praise.
But it wasn't until a move back to San Francisco at the end of 2003
that MPC was able to focus on finishing the nearly completed songs on
Tainted Lunch, his second full-length album. Always seeking to mix
obscure new influences and inspirations (The Shaggs, Joe Meek, Emil
Richards, Franco Battiato, Les Paul, Raymond Scott) along with the
more familiar (Yello, Talking Heads, New Order and the more
comtemporary Magnetic Fields) Tainted Lunch features a more refined
approach to his angular pop attempts. His non-singer singing is more
present and the structures echo radio friendly tunes as he enlists
musical help from friends Kevin Blechdom, Francoise Cactus, and
Erlend Øye.
See a live PA and DJ set from Safety Scissors at Trilogy this Friday,
Nov. 18th. with visual artist Evans!

Ben Nevile:
-----------
Ben lives in Vancouver, Canada, where he produces music in Open Space
studios on Main Street. In addition to developing software for Cycling
'74, he produces a suave, gently euphoriant music that could only come
from Vancouver's mix of futurism and natural beauty. In addition to
his 3 EPs on Telegraph, he has also made music for Context (the label
of Sutekh), Orac, Background, Nordic Trax and Mosaic (the label of
Steve O’Sullivan).
Far from the bland experiments of some techno artists, the music of
Ben Nevile is accessible, fresh, groovy, yet subtle and detailed.
With its rustle of trees, lapping of waves and singing of birds, Ben
places each sound and sequence to increase the feelings of the
listener. An impeccable touch, a postcard of sound that encourages a
good mood. [Taken from www.telegraph-records.com]

pHarmanaut:
-----------
For this event LunarLodge is exicted to announce its collaboration
with A:D:A:P:T curator Trace Reddell (aka The pHarmanaut). Trace's
net.art and audio works may be found at Electronic Book Review,
Stasis_Space, DJRabbi.com, on several microsound.org compilations,
and The Communications of Tomorrow label. His imaginary score to
Philip K. Dick's last novel, Radio Free Albemuth, is out on the Sine
Fiction label.
Digital video work includes Trace's collaboration with Mark Amerika
and Rick Silva of the DJ Rabbi collective to produce the "Society of
the Spectacle (A Digital Remix)". The "SOS" video debuted as part of
the 2004 Biennale de Paris onboard the Batofar and has since screened
at over 30 international venues including New York, Bilbao, Glasgow,
Eindhoven, Berlin, London, Zurich, Seoul, and Hong Kong. Trace
curated the monthly visualsoundings series of electronic music at
Denver’s Museum of Contemporary Art (2002-3). He also founded
Denver’s first digital media festival, A:D:A:P:T, in Spring
2003, and co-founded the first University of Denver Media Festival in
February 2004.

--------

Newnumbertwo, aka VJ Luminoid, aka Wallace Winfrey. The Irix persona
is coming out of retirement to drop us a very special set of the
latest in impossible-to-find london-town dubstep and grime records.
When not arguing on the mtn-raves list, trolling for japanese video
loops on bittorrent or getting VST plugins to run under linux, Wally
does systems hacking and engineering for Cycling '74.
