About the Artists:
A legendary figure in underground music, Christian Hirsche has quietly produced a unique body of work beginning with the absurdist tape cut-ups of H.N.A.S. in the mid-1980s. In addition to the precise cinema pour l'oreille constructions of his solo work, he has collaborated with a wide range of musicians, including Merzbow, Organum, and Nurse With Wound, and has had longstanding partnerships in Mirror (with Andrew Chalk), In Camera (with Timo van Lujik) and Plastic Palace People (with Jim O'Rourke. This will be his first Boston performance in well over a decade.
Lauren Sarah Hayes is a Scottish improviser, sound artist, and scholar who is recognised for her embodied approach to computer music. Her music is a mix of experimental pop/live electronics/techno/noise/free improvisation and has been described as ‘voracious’ and ‘exhilarating’. As a live sound sculptor, she manipulates, remixes, and bends voice, drum machines, analogue synths and self-built software. She has toured extensively across Europe and North America, including as part of her tenure with the New BBC Radiophonic Workshop. Her work has been released on Superpang, Hard Return, Pan Y Rosas Discos, LOL Editions, Werra Foxma, Sunwarped, and Harmonic Ooze Records.
Matt Krefting is a writer and musician based in Holyoke, Massachusetts. His writing has appeared in The Wire, The Huffington Post, Bull Tongue Review, and elsewhere. A member of Son of Earth, The Believers, Idea Fire Company, and Sunburned Hand of the Man, he also creates his own solo music for cassettes. His music has been published by Open Mouth, Kye, and Ultra Eczema, among others.
