late AUGUST - early SEPTEMBER 2010, EUROPE
booking: egoscape at gmail.com

Fresh off an April - May (primarily eastern) European tour with video
feedback artist Merlyn, I'll be back in late August - early September
with an unused Germany/"Benelux" rail pass and am looking for places to
play in those countries and beyond. I'm currently traveling in Nepal and
India, and am mainly looking forward to returning with some new gear,
new field recordings, and new approaches to perform varied Broken Sleep
sets (as opposed to breaking up the drone and the noise to pre-define
and label sets as either "Broken Sleep" or "Milf Wolf").

unintentionally pretentious sounding bio:
-6th European tour (under various names)
-active in D.I.Y. & extreme music off+on for 25+ years

Mecha/Orga, Open Performance Orchestra, Pan Sonic, Praying for Oblivion,

-festivals:
Autonomous Mutant Festival, Fake Jazz (Vancouver), Noise Camp (Vienna),
Noiz Fest (Ljubljana), Signal & Noise (Vancouver), Termite Club

-fun facts:

experimental/extreme music promoters, co-founder of promotional
collective Mediacore, organized Vancouver's first Laptop Battle, owns
18 distortion
pedals, still uses a Boss BE-5 multi-effects pedal that he has owned for
close to 20 years, has studied voice with sound artist DB Boyko
