This Sunday
Tamagawa (from Saint Etienne) is the solo project of french guitarist Bertrand Gaude. A member of the french DIY scene since the 90’s (Oursonik, Mayo records, Temple Solaire, le club des gens spéciaux), in 2006 he started the One Man Drone project, a vinyl compilation and several tours in Europe, North America and Japan, gathering Ondine, B°Tong, Shit and Tamagawa. As tours and collaborations followed (with Richard Pinhas, France, Raymonde Howard, Origami Galactika...), he developed his lunar blues during dark and psychedelic performances. One can cite as non-exhaustive influences Spacemen 3, Earth, Loren Connors or Les Rallizes Dénudés.

Don Haugen is a visual and sound artist based in Eugene, Oregon, USA.
Focused on experimenting with location specific sound and room dynamics, with precision and control. Utilizing a vast arsenal electronics, electro-acoustic instruments and re-purposed test instruments to create sonic texture-scapes. Haugen’s compositions range from dense drones, whispering noise to cacophony structures.
[view] - Curtis Rochambeau (he/him) is a 49 year old brain damaged acid casualty that finds some solace in hyperfocusing on audio and visual work. The work shown is primarily oil paint scratched onto surfaces with a razorblade. The functional aspect of this work has
historically been to serve as a mental health barometer via the artists interpretation of forms contained within. Generally speaking he does not create work in the spirit of producing a product, but here we are. The artist is in no way responsible for whatever fucked up shit goes through your head while enjoying the view.
