Your chance for abrasive technical entertainment. Local and touring guests providing a variety of sonic voyeurism for your enjoyment. Power sets by:

6PM / Spednar x Morgantics: Pittsburgh-based producers collabo. Kevin Bednar, aka Spednar, utilizes live coding methodologies to push the bounds of polyrhymthmic and microtonal compositions. Often crossing into found sound territory, his sounds aim to excite both experimental and traditional electronic listeners alike. Morgan Visnesky aka morgantics' influences range from progressive swung instrumental hip-hop beats and obscure sonic territories. His focus in recent has been footwork experiments with the 80/160 crossover, and live performances utilizing hardware drum machines and an expansive modular synthesizer.

7PM / Easy Bake Oven 容易オーブン: Sonic Exploration via Harsh Electronic Power Noise, Ambient, Dark Ambient, Drone, Experimental, Industrial, Musique Concrète, Noise, Power Electronics, Rhythmic Noise, Sound Collage and Circuit Bent Electronics. https://theeasybakeoven.bandcamp.com/

730PM / Henry Mallard: Duck Worship https://henrymallard.bandcamp.com/

8PM / Angel Dust: Full length album Shallow recently released on Dirty Pillows Records, Angel Dust stitches together brief glimpses of lost worlds and feelings long forgotten only to pull the listener into the reverse of that realm. Harsh noise and stunningly dark soundscapes, textured voices swimming beneath collapsing waves of feedback and gasps of breath from fading lungs, utilizing natural, organic field recordings and electronics to construct collages of anesthesia inducing tones to be dismantled and consumed. https://soundcloud.com/angelldust

830PM / Cornelius F Van Stafrin III: Transdimensional apparition, conjured by ritual, delivering archived experience through perceived time, sensation, vibration, and illusion. https://vimeo.com/cfvsiii

900PM / Echo Lightwave Unspeakable: Originally from the 13th dimension, E.L.U. makes and breaks musical instruments into odd machines of noise and organized chaos. https://echolightwaveunspeakable.bandcamp.com/

930PM / OM-BOT: worshippers of the void. Drone yourself into another dimension of the indescribable unknown. Let us welcome you to the beginning of the singularity. https://www.youtube.com/user/OmBotCult

BUNKER PROJECTS 2nd floor
NICHOLAS SARDO - Resident Artist Exhibition
http://www.bunkerprojects.org/

Nicholas Sardo is a Pittsburgh-based aritst who received his BFA from Carnegie Mellon in 2016. Born in Santa Monica, CA, Sardo works large, most often painting with spray paint and constructing mixed media installations and sculptures. His work is an attempt to come to terms with his own peculiar, confused observations about humanity.

Bunker Projects' Residency program offers artists 3-4 month long residencies for emerging artists. The goal is for residents to build a new body of work which is then exhibited at Bunker Projects in the last month of residency.
