in 04 to an "International Festival of Electronic Music Performance, Arts
and New Media", and runs from September 14th and 17th.  The 2006 lineup -
which is fantastic - can be found here, along with news, talks, panels and
more:  http://dbfestival.com/2006/.  Below is a special notice from Patrick
Haenelt about the Oscillate 2006 showcase that he has curated, with a
brilliant lineup of northwest artists, some of whom have attended, appeared
at and/or supported various dorkbot events.  Now it's our turn to turn out
to see them!

KINOKO
Kinoko, budding Empress of Electronica, takes the sugary, 8-bit sweet stuff
n' whips up fluffy, electro glitch sounds. Growing up in Philadelphia her
mom made her play violin while her guitar playing rock-n-roll-dad took her
record shopping early and gave her a Radio Shack tape recorder that she used
to sample siblings. Eventually, upgrading in '85, Kinoko became boom box dj
for the elementary school break dance team. After a long time obsession with
Information Society, loving both Punk Rock and Electronic music, Kinoko
learned her way into dj culture. During the nineteen nineties she came up as
a Happy Hardcore dj in the rave circuit and later evolving into other
electro genres. It wasn't enough. 
In 2003, Kinoko traded artwork for a laptop, determined to produce her own
tracks and compete in a Fourthcity Laptop Battle. She now writes and plays
8-bit, glitch and break core electronica with her two laptops, a 1989 Yamaha
Keyboard and a Microphone. Kinoko continually collaborates with the
Fourthcity Collective in Seattle and is a resident dj at Oscillate Tuesday
nights at the Baltic Room. She also rocks the brushpens as an illustrator
producing her own quarterly titled Zine City Comix as well as working
freelance. When not busy with these things she's traveling the world via
bicycle."

KFO
The son of a folk musician and technology teacher from hippy-haven Eugene,
Oregon, KFO (Bryan Newman) brings his really-really-really-live (trademark)
improv techno software out for a game of glitched-out duck, duck, goose. KFO
has been DJing in the northwest just over 6 years, and just recently began
performing live. His first release is on the way to press in the next
Saasfee/Arosa2000 compilation

NDCV
Andy Seaver grew up in the state of Maine, on the eastern coast of the
United States. He studied music at Wesleyan University in Connecticut, and
finally moved out to Seattle, Washington, to explore his West Coast
intuitions.His approach is to create electronic music through the
manipulation of recorded noises. Although this "musique-concrete" approach
to production is certainly nothing new, Andy finds it exciting to disguise
ordinary sounds through, primarily, combination filtering and pitch
distortion. The low diesel drone of an idling truck can become the pulsing
pad of harmony. Most recently, Andy was asked to help score the 2006 film
"Police Beat".

PAUL EDWARDS
\A true Seattle renaissance man, Paul Edwards produces, DJs, works for
Decibel, promotes his own acclaimed techno events, and somehow manages to
hold down a full-time job. Seattle's weekly newspaper, The Stranger gushes,
"Besides being Decibel fest's technology director and booking outstanding
international talent (with Greg Skidmore) for his PG Series, this brainy
mensch is involved with two brilliant nights in town: [Formerly] Oscillate
(Tuesdays at Baltic Room) and Krakt (second Saturday of every month at
Re-Bar). Edwards can smoothly segue from dubby IDM to minimal tech-house to
sternum-caving tekno before you've even finished your first cocktail. And
you'll love it all, if you have any sense

RUDEMENT
Rudement is George Johnson, bassist and percussionist for lamented tribal
bleed-out Feral, exposing after a lengthy hiatus from performing the secret
experiments that have kept him out of the public eye.Starting with his own
composed synth, bass and drum (not drum-n-bass) tracks, Rudement stirs in
snippets of the world's musical traditions and philosophical treatises
sampled from archival sources and his own extensive collection.
These recordings form the foundation of his live performances; in which he
utilizes dub methodology by cutting, processing and remixing his original
tracks on the spot into new and spontaneous pieces.When definition is
requested, Rudement is self defined as "tribal illbient" (though the
preference is to exist in a state of post-genre orchestration).
