Al Margolis and Doug Van Nort (USA)
For this laptop duo project, the musicians utilize acoustic materials and capture/transform one another’s sound in an endless loop; both use digital means – Van Nort tends to favor sculpting/ stretching from small sound fragments, while Margolis often likes to make collages out of larger sound segments; they will be joined by Katherine Liberovskaya providing live video; you can hear them:
