Thea Farhadian
Celebrating the release of her new album "Tattoos and Other Markings" where she integrates contemporary field recordings from Armenia and Egypt with mechanical sounds from a letterpress and MRI Machine, Farhadian brings classical training in violin to her explorations with electronics and deep forays into Arabic classical music achieving a sound described by critics as a "beautiful grimness." Don't miss this chance to witness historic, cultural and family memory woven to life before your very ears right inside the Peacock Lounge.

Dymaxion
Bruce Ackley weilds the sonic sceptres known as clarinet, soprano and tenor sax alongside Dave Brandt on percussion and Pete Schmitt on bass to form the trio Dymaxion. Schmitt and Brandt play together in Wall of Fog and with a wide array of collaborators that have included Jessica Pavone, Burton Greene and on this ocassion Bruce Ackely, founding member of Rova Saxophone Quartet. Ackley is a self-taught woodwinds virtuoso whose collaborators have included John Zorn, Eugene Chadbourne, Ikue Mori, Fred Frith, Miya Masaoka and the members of several epic orchestras assembled by Rova to perform Coltrane's "Electric Ascension."

Aaron Oppenheim
Sound vivisection and heavy DSP processing rooted in raw synthesis, Oppenheim explores hidden chaos at the heart of computer systems and natural systems alike. He brings to bear the full potential of a Behringer Neutron and Yamaha TX81Z with a refined selection of outboard effects. He's performed with renowned improvisers Roscoe Mitchell, Ikue Mori, Wadada Leo Smith, and Tim Perkis. But tonight at the Peacock Lounge it will be him... and the chaos that already resides in you.

Kevin Robinson
Deep tone practitioner, Robinson never met a woodwind he couldn't extend beyond above and below the horizon. Drawing back veils of resonance ever thinner until only a silent glimpse remains, ecstatic astonishment of the unknownable, a deity's-eye-view of darshana.
