Marcelo Radulovich (Composer/Trummerflora Collective member) will perform THUMB, a 44-minute piece based on a recording of a walk through the SD Zoo. Radulovich enhances this phonography with electronics, samples, tapes, and field recordings, to create a space which The Wire called: "a fluid and impressionistic ambient composition rich with environmental overtones."

Also that evening will be WHISPER CHIPPER, a collaboration with Radulovich and Marcos Fernandes. This is based on field recordings of a chipper/shredder which is run through multiple effects and eq-ed in real time to create shifting delay loops.

Hans Fjellestad (Trummerflora Collective) & Ivan Diaz-Robledo (Nortec Visual Collective) will provide a live video mix.)
