[Microsound-announce] Chaos Butterfly/Matt Davignon West Coast Tour

[Matt Davignon]

Chaos Butterfly and Matt Davignon are bringing their
unique forms of immersive improvised electroacoustic
music up and down the West Coast. If you like this
stuff, please come to one of the shows, enjoy the
music and say hello!

Chaos Butterfly
The electroacoustic duo Chaos Butterfly is Jonathan
Segel (violin, guitar, electronics) and Dina Emerson
(voice, wineglasses, electronics, etc.). Chaos
Butterfly has worked with Camper Van Beethoven (Segel)
and the Meredith Monk Ensemble (Emerson), in addition
to working with operas, orchestras, and the Cirque du
Soleil. Their music encompasses song, soundtrack,
storytelling, and mayhem, all created and performed in
real time. The instrumentation is a seamless
combination of electronic and acoustic sources,
including violin, voice, laptop computers, guitar,
wine glasses, and various toy samplers.

Matt Davignon is an experimental musician living in
Oakland, California. Since 1993, he has developed his
own unique style of music, which focuses largely on
textures, arrhythmic patterns and musical
imperfections. Since 2004, he has been working almost
exclusively with a drum machine, run through a series
of effects and samplers. Drawing from what he's
learned in his previous work in sound collage, field
recordings, found objects and prepared instruments, he
creates an organic array of drones, gurgles and
frantic passages.
