***The Shape of Minds to Come***
***John Duncan, Schneider TM, Scot Jenerik, Chandra Shukla***
with special guest Ulrich Krieger

**John Duncan** (Wichita, Kansas 1953) is a pioneer of performance art, installations, video and experimental audio who has lived and worked in Los Angeles, Tokyo, Amsterdam and northern Italy. His many releases are acclaimed by critics and composers as benchmarks of experimental music.

**Schneider TM** is a multidimensional music project of Dirk Dresselhaus, named after his nickname Schneider, which oscillates extensively between adventurous electronic pop-music and experimental, sometimes improvised freeform music, while occasionally bringing these and other opposing elements together.

**Scot Jenerik** (born 1964) is a multidisciplinary artist/instrumentalist, instrument builder, composer and sound engineer. He has performed, lectured and distributed works extensively in the United States, Europe and Japan for over 30 years. Combining elements of Kodo drumming, drone and noise, Jenerik transfers the intensity of physical performance into a throbbing soundscape of rhythms, drones and direct elemental contact.

**Chandra Shukla** (born Vivek Chandra Shukla 1975 Alameda, California) is an experimental/avant-garde musician interested in audio, video, live performances, and graphic design. His history stems from learning Indian Classical Music by learning tabla from the likes of Pandit Swapan Chaudhuri and sitar from Pandit Habib Khan. Xambuca is his main, sometimes instrumental and electro-acoustic music project with synths, guitar, samplers, sitar and vocals.

Ulrich Krieger is a German composer and saxophonist living in Southern California. Krieger’s recent focus lies on the experimental fringes of contemporary rock culture, in the limbo where noise, metal, silence, electronic music, improvisation and experimental chamber music meet – not accepting stylistic boundaries. Beside his solo work he performed extensively with his groups Metal Machine Trio and Text of Light. He collaborated and performed with Lou Reed, Merzbow, Carl Stone, John Zorn, Lee Ranaldo, Christian Marclay, Faust, Phill Niblock, Berlin Philharmonics, Ensemble Modern, PARTCH Ensemble, and many more. His compositions are widely performed internationally. Krieger studied classical/contemporary saxophone, composition, electronic music, and musicology in Berlin and New York. He is professor for composition and rock music at CalArts.
