ABOUT THE ARTISTS
NEIL LUCK - "My Dull Mouth"
"My Dull Mouth" is a performance constructed from the wreckage of other recent pieces by Neil Luck. Failed experiments, bad performances, out-takes, bloopers, and half-arsed compositions are salvaged, deconstructed, and regurgitated as serviceable material.

ALESSANDRO PERINI - “Wooden Waves”
"Wooden waves", is a tactile sound installation, reflecting on the relationship between the human artifacts and the nature of the sea, that people will experience with their bodies. The sound installation uses the wooden floor of Harplinge windmill as a vibrating surface and lets people feel the movement of sound vibrations along their bodies, when lying on the floor.

MARTA FORSBERG - “Weave and Dream”
"Weave and Dream" is an exploration of darkness, light and color where I use LED light, fabric, sequins and minimalistic drone-based electronic music. During BZZZ 2015, I want to explore the political aspect of my creativity based on the need to create your own rooms that takes a lot of place loudly and visually.

MAX WAINWRIGHT - “Sound-Object Factory-Installation”
During BZZZ! I will have a sort of sound-object factory-installation, where I will take things I find and have brought and make them into other things. I will play sounds, make short-term installations, leave instruments lying around.

DAMIAN LINTEL-SMITH - “Psychiceyeclix”
I perform with circuit bent/rewired games consoles/drum machines/synths, camcorders pointed at the audience glitched up. All my equipment is recycled, with rewiring old redundant equipment can be circuit bent into a usable state of now.
