> next eight years. He went on to co-found a series of mixed national
> groups: Art Bears, News from Babel, Cassiber, The (ec) Nudes, P53 and
> The Science Group and was a permanent member of American bands Pere
> Ubu, Hail and The Wooden Birds. Apart from a succession of special
> projects he works regularly with John Rose, Fred Frith, Zeena
> Parkins, David Thomas, Iancu Dumitrescu, Peter Blegvad and Stevan

> San Francisco-based Dimuzio is one of those unsung artistic figures
> whose influence and abilities have substantially outstripped his
> visibility. Composer, multi-instrumentalist, sound designer,
> experimental electronic musician, collaborator and recording studio
> owner - Dimuzio has been busy doing his thing(s) since the late
> 1980's, but is still only known to a small circle of electronic music
> enthusiasts. A true sonic alchemist who can seemingly create music
> events out of almost anything, Dimuzio's listed sound sources on his
> various CDs include everything from "modified 10 speed bicycle" and
> "resonating water pipe" to short-wave radios, loops, samplers and
> even normal instruments such as clarinet and trumpet. And while his
> wide range of musical interests make it impossible to pin a label on
> him, Dimuzio clearly has an insider's knowledge of older experimental
> musical forms such as musique concrete and electroacoustic, as well
> as more current ambient-industrial, noise and post-techno styles.
>
> As a collaborator, he has contributed to numerous artists and
> ensembles, such as 5uu's, Chris Cutler, Fred Frith, Tom Cora, C.W.
> Vrtacek, Dan Burke, Due Process, Wobbly, Solid Eye and Paul
> Haslinger, and has toured North America and Europe as a solo act. His
> solo CD releases include 1997's double CD Sonicism, the recently
> remastered and reissued HEADLOCK, early cassette works compiled on
> Louden, and Markoff Process, from 1994. Current projects include
> Dimuzio's forthcoming Gench/Asphodel release, Mono::Poly and
> Uncertain Symmetry with David Lee Myers (aka Arcane Device) on Korm
> Plastics.
