Clavius Productions presents A White Noisemas:
Come celebrate the birth of Noise, and the last 611 Florida show of 2004, with Brooklyn's ORTHO, a multi-media extravaganza who create sound through various electronic devices whilst traipsing around in bizarre costumery and props such as plastic spaceships. Representing the atonal underworld of DC is Facemat, and Kohoutek, with their esteemed partner in dissonance, sc.all, will offer up praise to the Lord of Cacophony with a set of sounds unheard as of yet. If you're lucky, a robot may serve you a cup of magic egg nog. Merry Noisemas!

Facemat (DC noise duo)
Kohoutek + sc.all (DC electro-acoustic improv psych)
