Nodo#1 is co-produced w/ Superbudda, Martin Pas Synth Shop and Gang Of Ducks /// Anna Homler, is a vocal, visual and performance artist based in Los Angeles. She has performed and exhibited her work in venues around the world. With a sensibility that is both ancient and post-modern, Homler sings in an improvised melodic language. Her work explores alternative means of communication and the poetics of ordinary things. She creates perceptual interventions by using language as music and objects as instruments. HOMLER’s music first became known in the 1980s with her Breadwoman cassette (High Performance Audio), a collaboration with Steve Moshier. Highlighting HOMLER’s work is the performance/installation project PHARMACIA POETICA, which examines the symbolic and tonal qualities of words and objects. “HOMLER is…making words musical and music like words.” —New York Times “America seems to be rife with female experimental vocalists, yet of them all, ANNA HOMLER is one of the more original.” —Audion “The work is transportative, mesmerizing, witty, sexy and intelligent. It has the power to transform the kitsch artifacts and consumer culture into something ethereal, surreal and beautiful.” —Performance Magazine http://annahomler.com/ /// Turin-based XIII (real name: Alessio Capovilla) is a producer and the co-founder of multidisciplinary Gang Of Ducks rec. label, on which he released his debut ‘No (The Relative Effect of Explication)’ in 2015.

It arises from the need to charge and infect each other. Intent is to create a set of chaotic nature, in which harmony and dissonance, silence and noise can coexist. MADAM is Many Atoms in order to Develop A Mountain. Take conscience and be part of it. http://manyatomsdevelopamountain.tumblr.com/
