Anna Homler is a performance artist from Southern California. Some friends of
mine in a couple of now-defunct SoCal bands (Factory, Angel of the Odd) were on
a couple of records put out by a woman named Cecelia +/-; she has her own label
called Aztlan Records. Anna Homler appears on both of these records. (One, a
compilation called "Awaken", might still be lying around the cut-out bins of
your local off-beat record store ...) None of the other records that Anna
appears on could be called IDM by any stretch of the imagination ...
I haven't got the vaguest idea what this "Morphology" release is that you all
are talking about, nor do I know how Anna got involved in it (is there an
implication that Alex and Thrash should know her because of this?). But that's
the 411 on Anna.
I see random surfacings of her in the L.A. Weekly club guide from time to time.
