This Tuesday April 23rd 2002 - Faceless Forces Of Bigness

FFOB is a spontaneous collective of four aural & visual pollutors
(actually, three aural & one visual). While keeping the compositional
tools simple, FFOB generate sonic landscapes without falling back
on familiar techniques like sampling or MIDI. Their visualist approaches
film-making from the performance standpoint, with spontaneous
improvised editing in the present tense. Expect frenetic atonal
arhythmics, haunting instrumentless console feedback systems,
video & still visual loops and dives with electronically generated
text poetics.

Between sets CD - "Lifeforms" (disk 2) by Future Sound Of London
 A classic merging of ambient soundscapes, sampling & beats
 but mainly being played tonight to match up FFOB with FSOL  ;)
