[about]

o CHRISTOPHER WILLITS (US / (Ghostly/12k/fallt))

Accomplished bay-area guitarist and multimedia artist hristopher Willits
records for the Ghostly International, 12k, Sub Rosa and Plop labels. Applying a custom-made spectrum of signal processing to his guitars, Willits has earned consistent praise for his fluid compositions and complex textures, as well as his technologically innovative spirit. His work ranges from sweet
avant-pop songs to cerebral glitch experimentation to the full-on noise attacks of Fl–ssin, for which he has collaborated with Kid606, Matmos and Zach Hill (Hella).
Having earned his Master's degree in Electronic Music working alongside the likes of Fred Frith and Pauline Oliveros, Willits has become part of the vanguard of modern electronic music. A frequent collaborator, Willits has recently worked with Taylor Deupree (12k), Latrice Barnett (Solo, Handsome Boy Modeling School), Paul D'Amour (Tool, Feersum Ennjin), and Ryuichi Sakamoto (Sony). Willits is also the founder of verlap.org, a lens, meeting point, and distribution node for multimedia artists around the world. Through this outlet he directs regular events in the northern California music community like the OVERLAP and the LISTEN music series, showcasing a wide diversity of multimedia artists and styles.

o BEDDOES (AUS)

Beddoes is a duo from Melbourne, Australia and now reside in London. They combine elements of acoustic & electronic music which bring together a landscape of subtle melodies which can flow in and out or sideways and backways. Beddoes was formed in 2004 by Blase Roccisano & Tom Morris when their band A Florence Encounter decided to call it a day. Tom has only recently joined Blase in London & this will be their UK debut under Beddoes.
