Mayuko Hino is a pioneering Japanese noise artist known for her visceral and captivating performances, combining auditory chaos with intense visual elements. As a former member of the legendary noise group C.C.C.C., she has left an indelible mark on the experimental music scene. Her solo work continues to push the boundaries of sound, blending harsh noise with elements of industrial and psychedelic music. Hino’s performances are not just auditory experiences but multisensory events, and a distinct physicality that embodies the raw power of her sound. Revered in both Japan and the international noise community, Hino has inspired a generation of experimental musicians. Her art challenges conventions, offering a transformative experience that blurs the lines between pain and pleasure, chaos and beauty.
Lucas ‘Granpa’ Abela (formerly Justice Yeldham) has been performing their signature instrument; shards of amplified glass for over 20 years. Their singular practice spawned from the international noise music underground, where the glass evolved from a means to create free-noise cacophonies into an oddly versatile instrument producing an organic form of outsider electronica. Abela performs the shards like a bell-less saxophone, their lips subtly transmitting micro-sonic vibrations into the pane. This signal feeds a complex modular patch producing both raw audio & control voltages, so the dynamics & frequency of their performance modulates itself within varying parallel effects chains. Mixed together they create the illusion of a ghostly accompaniment, forming dense layers of anomalous music.
Coalescing into a specific burning vision in 1994 Rubber (() Cement was put together as a direct idea for a super science future that will happen. The next technological breakthroughs are realized in a zero-tech way with the emulation of the unrealized 'next step' with the actual "vision" existing in the present (picture a cargo cult with stats on NASA industries) using extremely experimental sounds with a Genetic Geneflub & massive Cimevox computer fronting the experiment. R(()C has collaborated with Hair Stylistics, Keiji Heino, CCCC, Siggtrygur B Sigmarsson, Damion Romero, K Lavey, Panicsville, Planet Size: Clit, Ukawa Naohiro, Hado Ho, Utah Kawasaki, Speculum Fight to name a few. The CD and Lp releases are packaged interestingly, the latest one "Butyl Balletomania Adventure Kit" includes a 7", action figure, paper slide show, & convoluted adventure.
