ERIK SPANGLER (a.k.a. DJ Dubble8, Baltimore): equally engaged with ensemble improvisation, live sample-based mixing, guerilla community sound art, hybrid electronica production, and notated chamber music, Spangler aims to dissolve cultural boundaries while drawing all corners of inspiration into cohesive sound images. www.dubble8productions.com

CHANG_PARK (Baltimore/Seoul): a sound / new media artist and electronic musician. Through interactive installation, performance, composition, he explores sound as a subliminal communication between object and space in terms of psychoacoustics. www.twitter.com/CHANG_PARK

JASON SLOAN (Baltimore): an electronic musician, composer, new.media, sound and net.work artist. His work creates a collective experience between the viewer, listener and artist, examining aspects of immateriality and its connection in life, death, memory, systems and the virtual world. www.jasonsloan.com

2011 ELECTRONICA FEST ONE
The Baltimore SDIY Group & Friends
Andie Musik Live (7-10:30 PM)
409 N. Charles Street Baltimore, Maryland 21201
www.andiemusiklive.com

Liz Meredith solo performance. I’m playing on the first day of this 3-part electronic music festival. I’ll be blending together my acoustic and electronic string sounds for this one. I’ve always felt the viola *easily* could sound like a warm synth line, subtle feedback hum, and/or fuzzed-out electronics. There will be lots of interesting performers. Do check it out!
