<div><br></div>
<div>Line up:</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>THOMAS GARDNER</div>
<div><font size="-1">Cello and live electronics composer, Thomas
specialises in</font></div>
<div><font size="-1">group interactions, interfaces for digital
performance,</font></div>
<div><font size="-1">and evolutionary musicology. His work includes
the</font></div>
<div><font size="-1"> 'Ouija Board' - a new form musical
instrument, based on</font></div>
<div><font size="-1">the analysis of the shadows of a group of
people.</font></div>
<div><font size="-1">He also explores the integration of cellistic
technique with</font></div>
<div><font size="-1">speech and lip controls over some of the
electroacoustic</font></div>
<div><font size="-1">processes and cello sounds.</font></div>

></a></div>
<div><br></div>
<div>BELA EMERSON</div>
<div><font size="-1">Bela Emerson's performances using electric cello
&</font></div>
<div><font size="-1">analogue effects are spontaneous, intense, and
exhilarating.</font></div>
<div><font size="-1">Sounds are looped, take on lives of their own,
bounce off each other...</font></div>
<div><font size="-1">the effect, as anyone who's heard her will
testify, is mesmeric. She</font></div>
<div><font size="-1">has performed solo at Supersonic, EXPO, &
worldwide Ladyfests,</font></div>
<div><font size="-1">been broadcast on Resonance FM & BBC Radio 3,
plus collaborated</font></div>
<div><font size="-1">live with the likes of Tim Exile & Sten
Sandell plus film-makers SchMovies</font></div>
<div><font size="-1">& Tereza Buskova. This performance marks the
London launch of her new</font></div>
<div><font size="-1">album on BiP_HoP.</font></div>

<div><font size="-1">http://www.myspace.com/belaemerson</font></div>
<div><br></div>
<div>MANUELA BARCZEWSKI</div>
<div><font size="-1">With 85 bpm, an electric guitar, vocals and
electronic elements,</font></div>
<div><font size="-1">Manuela Barczewski's songs simply describe the
luxury of melancholy.</font></div>
<div><font size="-1">Her music works like a memory system; it's a
sound archive in</font></div>
<div><font size="-1">which Barczewski captures and processes her
observations</font></div>
<div><font size="-1">and experiences on everyday life. In 2006 she met
Volker Bertelmann</font></div>
<div><font size="-1">aka Hauschka (Fat Cat) in his Studio One in
Dusseldorf/Germany</font></div>
<div><font size="-1">where they recorded seven songs. For her live
gigs the</font></div>
<div><font size="-1">artist uses a laptop instead of a backing band
combined with</font></div>
<div><font size="-1">her voice and electric guitar.</font></div>
