Thierry Monnier is a french musician who plays prepared guitar by using
different objects. His main focus is about guitar feedback and he tries to
work on the sound itself by modeling it.

His musical influence are at the crossing at the experimental rock and the «musique concrète ».

Since 2005, he works in a guitar duo with Pierre Faure called Sun Stabbed.
He is also active as an organizer of shows of experimental music at a venue
called Le 102 (www.le102.net), as a DJ playing experimental music in a campus radio in Grenoble, he helps run the
Metamkine label and the Universinternational micro-label with Pali
Meursault.

New Zealander Antony Milton has been making records, exhibiting sound installations and performing live under various nom de plumes (A.M, The Nether Dawn, Paintings of Windows, Mrtyu etc) since the early 1990s. He is also the curator of the PseudoArcana record label. In 2006 he undertook successful tours that encompassed the USA, Europe, Japan, Hong Kong, Singapore and Australia.

A recurring theme in Milton's work is an investigation of 'place' and 'presence' and the ways in which these function within the representational realm of recorded sound. With releases on underground labels such as Jewelled Antler and Celebrate Psi Phenomenon Milton's work is situated at some weird junction between electroacoustic composition, folk music, and the more psychedelic end of the 'noise' spectrum...

Using predominantly analogue sources (tape loops, field recordings, amplified resonant objects, voice and guitar) Milton's performances have a high degree of intimacy and commonly range from the gestural and nuanced through to the visceral and ecstatic.
