JASON KAHN, RICHARD FRANCIS, ANTONY MILTON. Saturday 29 January 2011

Jason Kahn is a Zürich-based artist from New York, who utilizes electronics, percussion and feedback to scope out commotions of crystalline and carbonated sound. His work has been described as “thrilling, disorienting, and quite startlingly gorgeous” (Dusted), and “discreet, delicate, and rewarding” (Tiny Mixtapes), and he has performed and recorded alongside an intercontinental panoply of musicians, including Arnold Dreyblatt, Christian Marclay, Kevin Drumm, Z'ev, Sainkho Namtchylak, Jason Lescalleet and Otomo Yoshihide, while appearing in solo and group exhibitions at galleries in Delhi, South Korea, Switzerland, USA, Belgium, France, Denmark, Germany, Spain and Australia.


Auckland artist, Richard Francis’ zoned tone generations range from amoebic electronic agitation to ballistic psych abstraction and have appeared on record labels such as Korm Plastics, Digitalis, Students of Decay, Room40, American Tapes, Last Visible Dog, and his own CMR and 20City, alongside co-luminaries like Hair Police, Wolf Eyes, Tarantel, Hush Arbors, James Blackshaw, Volcano the Bear, Tom Carter and Pocahaunted.


Antony Milton’s countless excursions into the dominion of eldritch folk and pop have included the curation of the PseudoArcana label (CJA, Birchville Cat Motel, The Skaters, Edward Ruchalski), a myriad of collaborative appearances in groups such as Claypipe, Black Boned Angel, The Stumps, Sunken and MRTYU!, and work for labels like Last Visible Dog, Music Fellowship, Tipped Bowler, Deserted Village, Black Petal, Humbug, Haamumaa, Root Don Lonie and Jeweled Antler.
