Binarium Sound Series 035 Lineup:

Night At Noon is an ritual-ambient music / visual project of Brian Traylor and friends. With swarming deep esoteric sounds, the music opens up sensory gateways to explore the mystical and unknown reaches of the psyche's sound consciousness. While a deeply personal experience, this type of music can strike a common chord in many initiates of sonic exploration.

'Thomas Helton - I' is a 30 minute video art collaboration between Thomas Helton and Jonathan Jindra that the two have been working on for the past nine months. Tonight is the premier of the video.

Houston's Infant Mortality Rate started performing live in the late 1980s as 1/5th of the noise band Turmoil in the Toybox, playing a variety of homemade electronics, random noisy things, and prepared tapes. In the early 1990s, he joined up with the psych/punk band Sad Pygmy, providing spacey theremin sounds and other electronics. Releasing his own music since 1991, IMR mixes homemade and circuit-bent electronic sources with found objects, samples/loops/collages, a toy or two, and the occasional vintage analog synth to create psychologically charged and complex soundworks.
