Zoh Amba & Wobbly
Chaotic neutral describes both Zoh Amba and Jon Leidecker, a term that was never just for D&D avatars. To align with good or evil was always to chicken out of chaos itself, clutching at sides. Zoh Amba's tenor doesn't cling and doesn't transcend but finds the blizzard hidden within ordered perception. Her dedicated studies with David Murray and practice of Advaita Vedanta unleashed a free ferocious sound, a heart aflame that cannot be consumed. How Leidecker survives his days and whole decades of immolation by mass media is a divine mystery in itself. He a glacier, carving from the screenblue blaze a dithyrambic chaos that could only be discernible from frozen lotus position. His Radio MACBA study of collage music, Over the Edge radio live collaborations, his work with Negativland and solo work as Wobbly comprise an opus of monumental scale. Just remember, as this duo finds your ears inside the Peacock Lounge, that chaos was ever neutral. It's order that's been all a mess.

Sharkiface
What happens when a moveable feast meets a gobbleable object? An ocean of gravy rises, the music of Angela Edwards growing ever darker, richer, deeper, pouring toward you ever swifter. When her solo project, Sharkiface, opens wide you feel your every appetite circling the boat. Noord, tranoe, and larynx trace the anchorline beneath it all to sunless depths where an unblinking hunger hunts all, without rest. As her waveforms roil about your mind, you begin to realize that if you can hear desire, desire can hear you!

Drought Spa
The boundary splitting duo of Alex Cruse and Kevin Ck Lo infuses the inhuman digital with intuition, combining randomized interactions of layers and language until all patterns senesce only to reconfigure as breathing rubble. At the root of Drought Spa's practice lies a tension: “How to reveal a revolutionary capacity in works that are tenants on capitalism’s 4D landscape?” Since 2015 they have explored statecraft and the built environment, the political economy of machinic/nonhuman sensing, and the weaponization of time-based media by means of generative video, stochastic synthesis, sensing-technologies, wholetext retextualization, movement and spontaneous public assembly.

Blood of Chhinnamastika
steve jobs returns in a body-vac suit, his liquefied remains held together in a semi-transluscent, ambulating horror, his essence made manifest in a whir of recycled plastic, the visionary sees pylons of hell-forms, shunting about in various verticalities as new areas are terrain-mapped, projections of future apple-air, new lines already carved and sub-licensed to smaller retailers to maintain appearance of localised competition, the sluree godhead of apple, soon to return, is relieved, eats salad for dinner and watches the game.
