ABOUT THE PERFORMERS:
STEVE BERESFORD
Steve Beresford - plays a variety of instruments, including piano, trumpet, euphonium, bass guitar and a wide variety of toy instruments, such as the toy piano. He has also played a wide range of music. He is probably best known for free improvisation, but has also written music for film and television and has been involved with a number of pop music groups.

Goodiepal performs amongst many other things his self termed 'Radical Computer Music' - the term relates to the ongoing project Mort Aux Vaches Ekstra Extra. Goodiepal performs in spoken word / electronics / acoustic sounds / objects.

JOHN EDWARDS
The blistering original double bass player who easily crosses and cradles the worlds of free jazz, improv and rock - John played Galvanised! last year with the superb NEW, performed a mesmerising set that had everyone on the edge of the themselves - a truly amazing performer.
JOZEF VAN WISSEM
Composer-lute player Jozef Van Wissem is renowned for his unusual approach to the Renaissance and Baroque lute, probably the most unlikely instruments in the world of contemporary music. He cuts and pastes classical pieces, reverses melodies, adds electronics and processed field recordings made in airport lounges and train stations. The unusual wedlock of composition and improvisation creates an unheard amalgam of contemporary folk and early music Van Wissem has accomplished the strange feat of bridging the idiom of seventeenth century lute literature and twenty-first century contemporary music.

DAN HAYHURST
Dan Hayhurst deploys prepared audio material (found tapes, lo-fi electronics, computer programming, and analogue noise across 4” tape loops, hardware sampler, cassette walkman and CDJ deck. The combination of devices is a modular instrument. The process of playing it, exploring recombinant rhythmic and stylistic possibilities, can be called MUSIC: a strange amalgam of found sound, Plunderphonics, ancient electronics, and twisted rhythms.
TEETH OF THE SEA
Teeth Of The Sea are a four-piece psychedelic rock band from London. They morph sounds into a unique, experimental-yet-incendiary style taking in influences as diverse as Brian Eno, John Carpenter, Ennio Morricone, Iron Maiden, Butthole Surfers and Liars. The band released their debut album, Orphaned by the Ocean on the UK label Rocket Recordings in January 2009, to widespread acclaim and plaudits from band heroes the like of Julian Cope and Sonic Boom.

CHOCOLATE MONK
A unique one off collective formed especially for this year's GALVANISED! (CLUSTERS) by Dylan Nyoukis, founder of Chocolate Monk label. This group is a sexet performing improvised sounds from vocal manipulation, sound objects, electronics and tape. The super vocal line-up consists of
Dylan Nyoukis - http://ubu.com/sound/nyoukis.html
Adam Bohman - http://www.stalk.net/paradigm/pd09.html
Clive Graham - http://www.furious.com/perfect/morphogenesis.html
Daniel Spicer - performs in the chaotic Brighton-based electro-acoustic improvising sextet Bolide.
Melanie Potter - Brighton based performer with HereHareHere and is part of vocal duo with her partner Robin Dickinson (of Slow Listener)
Ali Roberston - has been running the Giant Tank label since 2006 and carving out a niche for lo-fidelity weirded noise into the investigatory the harsher side of electro-acoustic sounds.
GAL(A)XIS
Sharon Gal has brought together a power pact quartet consisting of voice, electronics, Guitar/effects, Trombone, double bass. Expect blue lightening shrieks of intense improv with loose and uniquely imaginative instrumentation - explorative sounds / maximum output.
Sharon Gal - Voice electronics
Moshi Honen - Guitar, electronics
Gail Brand - Trombone
Guillaume Viltard - Double bass
SYGNOK _ ALBERTSLUND
Goodiepal's cluster is his newly formed group/band consisting of various musicianships that will dazzle and bewilder you in equal amounts - for those of you who have not experienced the world of Goodiepal – we promise you Goodiepal and his SYGNOK _ ALBERTSLUND cluster are not to be missed - uniqueness is too small and boring a word.
WORK / GROUP
This group is made up of musicians regularly attending a weekly workshop convened by Eddie Prévost. The method of deciding which musicians will participate in the group has developed out of the Workshop Series of monthly concerts at Cafe Oto. With each of the workshop series concerts, in a democratic way, a different workshop participant selects a group of musicians drawn from the ranks of the workshop, past and present. In this instance David Papapostolou has chosen the musicians

Jennifer Allum (violin) - www.jenniferallum.info
Gabriel Humberstone (percussions)
Grundik Kasyansky (electronics) - myspace.com/grundikkasyansky

ARAR x ADAM ASNAN
ARAR will present a duo performance of modified electronics systems. Using two transistor radios receiving electro-magnetic pulses from pre-programmed patterns emitted from a drum machine, these rhythms are then manifested as amplified sound presented alongside a processed function generator producing a set of pure test frequencies with direct intermittent disruption to the signal chain and heavy utilization of the stereo field.
ADAM ASNAN for this unique collaboration will produce 'acoustic compostions' which stems from his fascination with recorded sound, loudspeakers, and a notion of the acousmatic 'sound object'. On this occasion, Adam will use a simple range of recordings (recurrent or sustained gestures), derived from both acoustic and electronic sources, performed via a stereo amplifier and selection of small speaker drivers.
