Berlin-based artist/musician Carsten Nicolai (aka alva.noto) has established
himself as a leading multimedia designer who uses visual art and electronic
sound as hybrid tools to create microscopic views of creative processes.
Nicolai's world looks more like a laboratory constantly morphing in space
and time, where audio - as code - becomes the primary theme via visualized
sound performances. With releases on the Raster-Noton and Mille Plateaux
labels, Nicolai has performed and created installations in many of the
world's most prestigious art spaces including The Guggenheim NYC, MOMA SF,
MOMA Oxford, NTT Tokyo, and Biennale Venedig, Italy. Nicolai received the
prestigous Golden Nica award at Prix Ars Electronica 2000.

Brooklyn's William Basinski is a musician, composer and auteur who has
worked in experimental media for over twenty years. Originally inspired by
minimalists such as Steve Reich and Brian Eno, Basinski's tape loop-based
compositions have expanded the boundaries of the aural landscape to create
mesmerizing works of orgnanic drone and general decay. With releases on the
Raster, 2062 and Three Poplars labels, Basinski has been hailed as something
of a cult hero for his Disintegration Loops I-IV, a stunningly beautiful
collection of recordings noted for their intensely cinematic, emotionally
striking qualities. www.mmlxii.com
