Hi all, Kristin Miltner and I are going on tour next week, bringing our unusual electronic music to Wisconsin (Milwaukee and La Crosse), Indianapolis, Toledo and Chicago. This will be the first time playing in the midwest for both of us - we are Oakland, California people. If you're in one of these towns, please come by and hear us play! And do say hello.

Milwaukee, 2nd Fl. Baker/Zerang, Kristin Miltner, Matt Davignon, The Green Pasture Happiness Matt Davignon is an experimental/ambient drum-machinist living in Oakland, California. Originally born in Western Massachusetts, he spent musically formative years in Northern California, tinkering with tools such as lo-fi samplers, cassette tapes, household objects, 4-track compositions, extensive chains of guitar effects, prepared instruments, and field recordings. These explorations fuel and inform his current work, which most frequently involves processing the sounds of a drum machine in real-time with various electronic devices. Characteristics of his music include a focus on textures, arrhythmic patterns and musical imperfections, with a focus on evoking biological systems. Matt has released 3 cds with this setup, the most recent of which is "Living Things" on Edgetone Records, released in 2010. Matt also co-produces the Luggage Store Gallery Experimental Music series in San Francisco, and has produced odd concerts such as the San Francisco Found Objects Festival and Droneshift. www.ribosomemusic.com Kristin Miltner is a composer, video and installation artist, and sound designer living in Oakland, California. She most often performs music live with versions of her custom software. She has designed this to scan sound files and live input, allowing her to instantly restructure the sounds into sequenced arrays of units of varying lengths. This scanning idea is like imagining a giant octopus in a long thin hallway with continuous windows on each side. One can touch both sides of the hallway with one's fingertips (if one is an octopus). The length of the hallway is infinite. So the octopus runs up and down the hallway opening and closing windows, letting a little bit of water in here and there, but never stops moving back and forth, and some windows stay open for longer than others. But there's a rhythm to it; it's an efficient octopus. The ocean is the sound source, the hallway and octopus are the scanners, the windows determine what gets in, and the octopus's rhythm is the sequencing mechanism. Her debut solo recording, "Grains", can be found at www.praemedia.com, and her latest release, "Music for Dreaming and Playing", can be found here: http://asthmatickitty.com/music-for-dreaming-and-playing -- Matt Davignon mattdavignon@gmail.com www.ribosomemusic.com Podcast! http://ribosomematt.podomatic.com Rigs! http://www.youtube.com/user/ribosomematt
