Since relocating from Boston to San Francisco in 1996, Dimuzio has become a fixture in the San Francisco Noise scene, performing regularly with an ever-evolving array of live electronics. Morphing the tools of the studio into a live musical instrument, Dimuzio's improvised performances unleash a raw sonic power into a real-time compositional domain typically associated with multi-tracked studio production. His releases, Markoff Process, Quake, Preacher In Naked Chase Guilty, and Hz document a wide variety of his solo and collaborative performances.
As a collaborator, he has contributed to numerous artists and ensembles, such as 5uu's, Chris Cutler, C.W. Vrtacek, Tom Cora, Fred Frith, Dan Burke, Due Process 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.
Andre Custodio is a SF bay area native Drummer/Sound Designer who studied with Brian Fergus, Bob Danielson and Karl Perazzo. He has recorded with Rudis/Custodio/Diaz-Infante, Tri-Cornered Tent Show, and Say Bok Gwai. 'Nihil Communication' is his ongoing solo project, combining unique instruments, analog synthesis, and digital processing, which produces a web of dynamic ambient noise.
This will be a first collaboration for the two. Oops.
