He is also the curator of the PseudoArcana record label. A recurring theme in Milton's work is an investigation of 'place' and 'presence' and the ways in which these function within the representational realm of recorded sound. With releases on underground labels such as Last Visible Dog, Jewelled Antler and Celebrate Psi Phenomenon Milton's work is situated at some weird junction between electroacoustic composition, folk music, and the more psychedelic end of the 'noise' spectrum... Using predominantly analogue sources (tape loops, field recordings, amplified resonant objects, voice and guitar) Milton's performances have a high degree of intimacy and commonly range from the gestural and nuanced through to the visceral and ecstatic. http://www.pseudoar cana.com/ http://www.myspace. com/pseudoarcana http://www.myspace. com/antonymilton New Zealand borne PETER WRIGHT has invested a significant chunk of the last 20 years investigating ways of deconstructing the guitar, from avant-pop and semi-industrial grooves in the 1990s with the kRkRkRk label in his home town of Christchurch, to experimental soundscaping, semi-acoustic drones and miniature sound poems with a slew of releases on various reputable underground labels including Celebrate PSI Phenomenon, Pseudoarcana, Last Visible Dog and Digitalis. At times Wright's instrumental musings have an almost lyrical, poetic quality, like a half-formed memory flickering out a distant signal from damaged synapses. In his rare live appearances Wright utilises a combination of field recordings and found sound along with an open tuned 12 string electric guitar to improvise his way down a hidden path into an aural world inhabited by both familiar and distinctly alien spirits. The primitive musical forms that result can seem deeply personal and intimate, almost as if you have stumbled upon a private ceremony by accident, but despite the feeling you are an intruder, you cannot pull away. www.distantbombs. com
