PRINCIPLES OF NON-ISOLATION IN AUDIO #27 This week we are blessed to add 2 new raucous troublemakers to our roster, Lyn Goeringer of Lansing, MI and Kristina Warren of Providence, RI. Together they knock out a raw and blistering noise duet as our first live set. They are followed up by Neural Goldberg, a new band (of old friends) consisting of Christopher Burns of Philadelphia, PA and PONIIA's own Jason Soliday of Chicago, IL. This home-spun duo (they practice weekly on the soundcrack server) has just released a flam-tastic new album <Flash Fouls> you should pick up right after listening to their record release performance right here. Truly excellent stuff from these gents. Finally, the full 4tet wastes no time in raising the stakes, the bar, the barn, the barnicles! A fine show held together by the excellent curative choices by Shimmering Trashpile from LA.

PRINCIPLES OF NON-ISOLATION IN AUDIO #26Longtime Bay Area faves Fuzzybunny join us this week. Fuzzybunny features Chris Brown, Tim Perkis, and Scot Gresham-Lancaster, 3 original members of The Hub who basically invented playing over a network back in 1987. Original Non-Isolationites, as it were. They play 2 group sets, and in between, the 3 members each dip into some solo action. Loads of fun interlaced with our fave interluder, DJ LUCY.

PRINCIPLES OF NON-ISOLATION IN AUDIO #25 Big fans of Halloween/Horror/Dia de los Muertos here at soundcrack, and with that in mind we present to you this week, 4 hours of nonstop terror. Brought to you by our lovely rotten guests including DJ Transient who packs a seriously fun variety pickaxe serving up our live acts on a platter. We start with Loachfillet's Cosmic Kite Memorial, performed from Oakland, CA. Loach finishes his set up by premiering a new cumbia macabre from Ritmos Tropicosmos "La Mujer del Agua". We follow up with Marlo Eggplant (Baltimore, MD) in duet with Eva Aguila (Los Angeles, CA). Next we have Venison Whirled (Austin, TX) and VIKI (Chicago, IL). And finally, Anvil Encephalopathy performs "To a Bloody Fucking Pulp", a conducted horror score featuring Danishta Rivero (vox), Carl French (bass), Tyler Harwood (drums), Zachary James Watkins (guitar), Jason Stamberger (keys), Carrie Barclay (bassoon), Angie Edwards (soundscape), David Lim (harsh noise), Jason Soliday (electronics), and Jake Rodriguez (cello). All 10 of our sonic undead playing from a different geographic location. Quite an undertaking, and we believe it was bloody successful. pre-show music (DJ Transient) 0:00:00 - 0:14:07 Loachfillet's Cosmic Kite Memorial 0:14:07 - 0:39:29 Ritmos Tropicosmos 0:39:29 - 0:44:04 interlude 1 (DJ Transient) 0:44:04 - 0:59:48  Marlo Eggplant & Eva Aguila 0:59:48 - 1:14:59  interlude 2 (DJ Transient) 1:14:59 - 1:36:11  Venison Whirled & VIKI 1:36:11 - 1:52:25 interlude 3 (DJ Transient) 1:52:25 - 2:09:29 Anvil Encephalopathy 2:09:29 - 2:41:52  afterparty (DJ Transient) 2:41:52 - 3:59:52  have a great week!

PRINCIPLES OF NON-ISOLATION IN AUDIO #24 We've been on an extended break, but return this week with an impossible lineup including an incredible percussion duo consisting of the Bay Area's Jacob Felix Heule and Reid Karris from Chicago, followed by the premiere of Bay Area duo Bottled Water featuring Shatter Pattern and Syrinx. The 4tet finds Shatter Pattern fronting 3 percussionists -- they are the EYE in this Boredoms cover band. Spicy-hot spins all around with DJ Fanciulla Gentile.

PRINCIPLES OF NON-ISOLATION IN AUDIO #22 We have a real Chicago PONIIA smørgåsbord this week with Ryan⊥Dunn + j.soliday, and Solt, which is comprised of Neil Jendon, Mike Hartman, and Paul Giallorenzo. Dunn+Soliday start the evening off with a smashy-smash fantastic etch-a-stretch-and-scratch yr noises set. Solt follows next with a very nice alien pulse and some kinda haunted closet groove. And the final 5tet is a masterful blend of these different approaches.  Our fave DJ Fly-Faced Necronomicones Served by Marziveined Vampires puts us all in the right space to go watch your new favorite giallo (Paul helps a bit too!).pre-show music (DJ Fly-Faced) 0:00:00 - 0:14:21 Ryan⊥Dunn <+> J.Soliday 0:14:21 - 0:49:32interlude 1 (DJ Fly-Faced) 0:49:32 - 1:00:26 Solt (Neil Jendon <+> Mike Hartman <+> Paul Giallorenzo) 1:00:26 - 1:32:21 interlude 2 (DJ Fly-Faced) 1:32:21 - 1:44:27 PONIIA #22 5tet 1:44:27 - 2:13:43 post-show music (DJ Fly-Faced) 2:13:43 - 2:33:39 have a great week and breathe motherf*ckers! total running time 2hr33min

PRINCIPLES OF NON-ISOLATION IN AUDIO #21 2 heavy-hitter bands from the Midwest, or as Soliday put it, "the best of the Midwest". Whisker from Chicago, IL and Moth Cock from Kent, OH. Whisker is made up of Ben Billington and Andrew Scott Young. Moth Cock is Doug Gent and Pat Modugno. Two incredibly intense sets and then an unbelievable 4tet combining both bands. DJ LUCY is as close to a PONIIA house DJ as we get, and she delivers tonight with a lot of upbeat quirky tunes to offset the dread. One of the strongest PONIIA's to date for sure. Get ready.pre-show music (DJ LUCY) 0:00:00 - 0:16:30 Whisker 0:16:30 - 0:47:57 interlude 1 (DJ LUCY) 0:47:57 - 1:00:43 Moth Cock 1:00:43 - 1:27:59 interlude 2 (DJ LUCY) 1:27:59 - 1:42:50 Whisker + Moth Cock 1:42:50 - 2:14:29 post-show music (DJ LUCY) 2:14:29 - 2:42:16 have a great week and enjoy the fresh air if you got some! total running time 2hr42min

PRINCIPLES OF NON-ISOLATION IN AUDIO #20 Dark orange mornings in California are the new new in 2020 and why not just add it to the growing list of nonsense we have to deal with. At least you have some seriously toxic sounds to go with your toxic air and political environment. This week's show features returning PONIIA all-star Norman Long (Chicago, IL) along with new recruits TanukiSpiderCat (SF, CA), and the longtime duo EKG comprised of Ernst Karel (West Marin, CA) and Kyle Bruckmann (Oakland, CA). Killer live sets from these four, robustly glued together by our good pal Jungle Junk spinning the interludes from San Juan, Puerto Rico. pre-show music (Jungle Junk) 0:00:00 - 0:13:49 Norman Long <+> TanukiSpiderCat 0:13:49 - 0:46:13 interlude 1 (Jungle Junk) 0:46:13 - 1:00:01 EKG: Ernst Karel <+> Kyle Bruckmann 1:00:01 - 1:31:15 interlude 2 (Jungle Junk) 1:31:15 - 1:45:58 PONIIA #20 4tet 1:45:58 - 2:18:38 post-show music (Jungle Junk) 2:18:38 - 2:35:47 have a great week and keep your windows closed! total running time 2hr35min

PRINCIPLES OF NON-ISOLATION IN AUDIO #19Another "ensemble" night where we diverge from our usual format of 4 improvisers split into 2 duos and then a 4tet. Well, we do have 2 exquisite duos this week with Akosuen <+> Cinchel (both from Chicago), followed by Pamela Z <+> Wobbly (both from San Francisco), but our 3rd act is an 11-person ensemble conducted by Moe Staiano on Zoom. Our previous attempt at bringing folks together on Zoom for 0th's Scream Opera turned into a predictably fun but completely chaotic mess of Zoom artifacts and feedback (not unlike my 4 year-old's first Kindergarten Spanish class this morning). This time, we tried to prepare the Zoom meeting for better audio, and our musicians were more prepared, and I think the results are pretty fantastic. Bravo to Moe and his group for really bringing it. Akosuen and Cinchel blend their respective strings and keys into a gorgeous floaty dreamworld with edges. Pamela Z brings her chopped OP(era) to dance with Wobbly's sinewy electronics and you get some sort of new alien genre that all the kids are hip to on Kepler-443b. Speaking of Zoom, Wobbles and Pamela use Zoom in the background as a sort of aux send so that Wobbly can track Pamela's pitch in realtime. Crazy tech but it completely works. Our whole evening is framed by one of my favorite DJs in the land, Professor Cantaloupe from LA. Cantaloupe has a wry sense of humor and a deep well of appreciation for a vast genre of strange sounds and musics and we love the choices he brings to this program. The outro is an extended Cantaloupe afterparty, so after Moe's group plays, stick around for nearly an hour of the Professor's A-list. Moe Staiano Conducts features Melne Murphy, Drew Wheeler, Robin Hiroko Walsh, Karl Evangelista, Josh Pollock, Lisa Mezzacappa, David Slusser, Tom Weeks, Joshua Marshall, Bruce Ackley, and Mark Clifford. During the live presentation of this show, we collected donations for 50 Miles More, a youth-led radical black feminist group in Wisconsin, and the Milwaukee Freedom Fund which is collecting bailfunds for protestors in Kenosha, WI. If you are enjoying this program, I highly recommend checking out these 2 funds/orgs and giving them a few dollars, and/or support another worthy Black Lives Matter adjacent organization. pre-show music (Professor Cantaloupe) 0:00:00 - 0:19:56 Cinchel <+> Akosuen 0:19:56 - 0:51:11 interlude 1 (Professor Cantaloupe) 0:51:11 - 1:07:47 Pamela Z <+> Wobbly 1:07:47 - 1:38:12 interlude 2 (Professor Cantaloupe) 1:38:12 - 1:54:08 Moe Staiano Conducts 1:54:08 - 2:25:55 post-show music (Professor Cantaloupe) 2:25:55 - 3:20:04 have a great week and find time to laugh! total running time 3hr20min

PRINCIPLES OF NON-ISOLATION IN AUDIO #18Crazy high octane show this week with new UK pals Mariam Rezaei, Kenosist, and Petronn Sphene, alongside old Bay Area pals Midmight and Horaflora. Soliday is the mastermind of this show and things gel like a molten cigarette bucket burning on yr patio. There is a perfect edgy fidget to both Midmight and Horaflora that clicks just right in their duo. Mariam, Mark and Gretchen next kill a rapidfire skronky beat-oriented brain shiatsu that hurts just in the right way. And then, this 5tet of all 5 of these fookers is something to witness--serious embers floating in the air afterwards, and i'm not talking about Cali-fire-nia. The whole show is seared together by an incredible Mariam Rezaei DJ set, with a tasty Bay Area via UK tribute by Kenosist after the Bay duo plays. pre-show music (Mariam Rezaei) 0:00:00 - 0:15:47 Midmight <+> Horaflora 0:15:47 - 0:47:40 interlude 1 (Kenosist) 0:47:40 - 1:02:54 Mariam Rezaei <+> Kenosist <+> Petronn Sphene 1:02:54 - 1:32:56 interlude 2 (Mariam Rezaei) 1:32:56 - 1:45:43 PONIIA #18 5tet 1:45:43 - 2:16:21 post-show music (Mariam Rezaei) 2:16:21 - 2:50:44 have a great week - yeah! total running time 2hr50min
