The Brutal Sound Effects Festival series brings together as many experimental sound artists and musicians as possible within the span of three hours. The tight rotation of sets and intensity of sound overwhelms and envelops the audience, taking them to new levels of BRUTAL SOUND. BSFX #75 features:
Actuary (L.A.)
This 3 piece wowed Sacramento at the Norcal Noise Festival after a 'mad samurai' came to the show single-handedly trying to shut down the event wielding a katana (also off his meds). While police were called Actuary Hero One busted the thumb of the wild man when he was trying to play grab-face during the insanity exchange, subduing the wildman. Later, more triumphs with the live act utilizing analog synths, electronics, & bliss. So...they are on their way here, please welcome them with your best thumbs up or samurai gear as they are presenting their more experimental 'sound' side with a huge array of collected instruments, effects, & tightrope walking vulcanized mind boning beyond anything you could imagine on or off medication. Note the recent release with Merzbow is listed on their soundcloud site.

Kwisp
Kwisp is a San Francisco based musical group, their instrumentation is unique, most of it built by the band itself. Teriyaki Vest Odyssey, Kwisp’s first album, merged Elf songs, psychedelia, free jazz, Dada, and Tantric Appalachian Pygmy Music.
Kwisp’s current lineup includes Walter Funk & Lenny Bove. They first met through Cork Marcheschi, whose 1960's experimental rock band Fifty Foot Hose, was among the very first of underground rock bands to perform with experimental and electronic instruments, influencing such later bands as Throbbing Gristle, Pere Ubu, Skinny Puppy and Chrome. In 1995, when Marcheschi reformed Fifty Foot Hose, Walter and Lenny were asked to join.

Seitz Versus Gendreau
Seitz Versus Gendreau is a collaborative sound experiment sampling from a wide-ranging array of instruments and sources. In the past they have used toy pianos, records, invented instruments, and field recordings; for the July show they will be employing a new set of tools. Noise will evolve into rhythms and dissolve back into a field of sound.
SEITZ is a series of words: ubiation, spumescence, pleochroic, impluvious, limbeck. Seitz is a deipnosophist well-practiced in myomancy and a believer in resistentialism. Ultimately Seitz is nothing but a zodiac of the mind's phantasms.
GENDREAU started playing drums in 1972, and working with tape machines and scrappy electronics a few years after that. He has composed or co-composed for those instruments and others (turntables, notably) for various recordings and performances, both solo and in groups (Crawling With Tarts, Lars Mars Orchestra, rRope, Seitz Versus Gendreau, Speed The Parting Guest, The Disturbing Group, Veti_Vert, etc.). After completing a degree in physics in 1989, he began work as an acoustician that continues to this day, where his primary focus is in the design of very quiet research environments, with respect to infrasound and vibration (for a list of publications, click here).
Gosling (S Palmer & D Rivero)
1. a young goose
2. a foolish, inexperienced person
3. The combined forces of vocalists, Danishta Rivero (Voicehandler,Blood Wedding, Aghora) and Sarah Elena Palmer (EFFT, Lutra Lutra)
Danishta: a musician/sound artist who specializes in the Hydrophonium (a water-based electro-acoustic percussion instrument), extended vocal techniques, and digital processing.
Sarah: a songwriter and a vocal improviser - tending towards the emotional and tonal - who also uses electronic processing to adjust the spacial/textural context of her sounds.
Fslux
The long-time project of Bay Area artist C. Sullivan, Fslux focuses on the manipulation of everyday sound, layering of textures, and generally lo-fi instrumentation. For this performance, she will be using vintage electronics, looping, effects and and various other sounds to aurally penetrate your mind's ear.

Dross
Dross is analog synth drones, tape loops & manipulation, feedback loops, noise, and sometimes songs. It's the solo project of John Farris, who played in Michigan punk/experimental bands Salt Lick and Blind Lake, and frequented the Ann Arbor/Ypsilanti basement noise scene. Since moving to the bay he's focused on building a solo rig (limited by space) and experimenting with textures and meditative drones to immerse in some heavy zones.
