BSI (a/k/a Chester Hawkins) takes inspiration from the European pioneers of “difficult music” and has created sets of orchestrated feedback, tape loops, and amplified ductwork at the DC Arts Center,
BBQ Iguana, DC Space and in Dupont Circle as part of the Alternatives Festival. Using electronics, acoustics, lo-fi gadgets and found sounds, the results blend nightmare noise, spacious trance and surreal weirdness. After several cassette and CDR releases, and collaborations with artists including Lida Husik, Haunted Toilet, LD50, New Carrollton, The Happy Hollisters and Delta of Venus, BSI is raising a racket in DC once again. 2008 marks BSI’s 20th anniversary and a new surge of activity.

New project from long-time DC area multi-instrumentalist/vocalist John Stanton. A collective as opposed to a fixed lineup, performances range from drifty slowburn watercolour solo guitar/synth constructs to full blown ensemble sonic exhaust blasts, along with occasional stripped down acoustic folk musings. Elements of many of Stanton’s wide-ranging previous efforts are in evidence, refracted via a prism of spatial folk, electronics and whatever else the lineup de jour shakes loose from their collective tree. Stanton sometimes performs as a member of DC improv-psych band Kouhotek, playing guitar, synth, electric piano and other instruments.
Corpus Callosum

Doug S. (amplified cello & effects) and Scott N. (ARP analog synth + effects) focus on a mix of melodic and atonal drones. The music is inspired by musicians who have explored the impact of frequencies on
the conscious and unconscious mind, as well as feelings of despair triggered by empathy for those who suffer day in and day out, often as a result of third world exploitation.
