Sebren is a multidisciplinary artist who began his career in the East Village New York arts scene in the 1980s. A prolific maker, Sebren’s visual works take form in installation, collage, painting, photography, video, and public works. His sound-based works have ties to noise and no-genre music (Menlo Park Recordings). More recently Sebren has delved deeply into the medium of radio. At Wave Farm, Sebren will engage in a research project culminating in a un-documentary about the history of radio and of transmission artists.

Not the Wind, Not the Flag is a duo consisting of Colin Fisher (guitar, bouzouki, ney, tenor sax, guzheng, hulusi, misc percussion) and Brandon Valdivia (Trap set, Mbira, Slit Drum, Percussion). Music is a way of accessing the divine. Vibration is the echo of our creation. For Colin and Brandon the experience of music is a transformative tool. A conduit for gnosis and discovering the true self. On any occasion their music could echo the traditions of Balinese music, West African music, Persian or Turkish music or it could be devastatingly loud Post-Hardcore, Noise, Free jazz eruptions. Or all of the aforementioned at once! The music refrains from being derivative but comes from a place of deep respect for the music that has lifted and guided their spirits. Lea Bertucci is an interdisciplinary artist working with photography, video, installation and sound. The emphasis of her work lies in the creative description of space, whether through light, movement or sound. She is a 2007 Tierney Fellow and holds a degree in Photography from Bard College. She is one half of the experimental music duo TwistyCat and enjoys the creative use of obsolete technologies. Keir Neuringer has been called a “drum-pounding prophet of doom, keyboard playing last poet and sax marathonist” whose “percussive riffs and musical spitfire sermons disrupt neurons and reorient thinking - and hit the gut.” His solo performances weave together experimental rock, political folk, free improvisation, psych/drone, and spoken word. He performs on saxophone, in intensely physical circular breathing improvisations that honor and build upon diverse music-making traditions, or on a vintage Farfisa organ, while simultaneously drumming and singing. http://www.brokendiorama.com/ http://notthewindnottheflag.bandcamp.com/ http://keirneuringer.com/bio

Composer Valentina Vuksic is featured, especially tracks from "Tripping through runtime." Also, a live set from Tom Carter, from Sept. 6, 2013. Also, Bill Callahan's new "Dream River" is featured. Description: "Acoustic trips through the magnetic spheres of motherboards. Plunge into the invisible relationships of hard and soft computer matter by acoustic means. A collection of laptops are examined via electromagnetic induction pickups. Booting up an operating system starts the travel into this space emerging between hard- and software. Operating systems, tools and custom programs are utilized to bring the characteristics of each computer into the limelight. Machine noises mediate for the public. They reveal the activity of computer programs in the widest sense and the activity of the computer parts they are running on. Time and space of computer processes run through different levels of reality during "runtime". Software being processed within this coordinate system creates its own temporal and spatial dimensions, which are staged for an audience to provide a sonic experience: that of logic encountering the physical world."

Al Margolis, Peter Zummo, and Guy De Bievre perform “Time Zones 0.4 - Private Mutations.” Time Zones 0.4 – Private Mutations was written specifically for the trio consisting of Peter Zummo (trombone), Al Margolis (electronics) and Guy De Bievre (lap steel), for the performance at The Spotty Dog. Live performances at Spotty Dog Books & Ale in Hudson, NY are streamed live at wgxc.org, and occasionally broadcast live on WGXC 90.7-FM.

Guy De Bièvre (BE) is a composer, musician, sound designer and sound art curator. His music has been commissioned and/or performed by musicians such as Guy Klucevsek, Seth Josel, Anne La Berge, The Bozza Mansion Project, Zivatar Trio, Zwerm and various local and international organizations. As a composer/performer (guitar, lap steel and electronics) he focusses on open form composition, which was also the topic of his PhD at the School of Arts, Brunel University, London. He performed internationally, both solo and with musicians/composers like Anne La Berge, Phill Niblock, Peter Zummo, Tom Hamilton, etc. Next to all this he is teaching (“ear cleaning“ at RITS in Brussels and occasionally guest-teaching in various local and international schools, e.g. TU Berlin, Brunel University London, Seam Weimar, KASK Gent), freelancing as a writer, sound engineer, sound designer and consultant. He was the curator of the audio art series Earwitness at CCNOA (Centre for Contemporary Non Objective Art) in Brussels and of the Culture Mile in Enschede, Holland (first instalment in November 2008 (Bill Fontana)). Time Zones 0.4 - Private Mutations Time Zones 0.4 is the fourth in a series of works exploring time perception in music and sound art. TZ0.1 was performed by myself and flutist Anne La Berge in Ferbuary 2013 in Berlin. TZ0.2 is a variation on 0.1 and has yet to be performed. TZ0.3 (Water Clock) is a commission from the Transit Festival in Leuven, to be performed by Ensemble PlusMinus in October 2013. Time Zones 0.4 – Private Mutations was written specifically for the trio consisting of Peter Zummo (trombone), Al Margolis (electronics) and myself (lap steel), for the performance at The Spotty Dog. As often is the case with my works it leaves quite some decision making to the performers' discretion, while steering them in specific direction(s). http://www.guydebievre.org/ http://www.pogus.com/
