PETER J. WOODS
Pulling equally from the worlds of harsh noise and absurdist theatre, Peter J. Woods’ solo performances build a sense of terror from simple imagery, muted text, and an unpredictable barrage of silence and sound. Woods utilises these approaches within a critical context, building on his musical research practice to challenge oppressive formations embedded within surrounding musical contexts. Recent projects represent this aesthetic and thematic sensibility through a multimedia approach that includes writing, theatre, concerts, photography, and film. Outside of his solo work, Woods has performed in a variety of punk/metal bands and collaborated with a wide range of other experimental musicians (including Olivia Block, Tatsuya Nakatani, Victor DeLorenzo of The Violent Femmes, and Angel Marcloid to name a few). He also ran FTAM Productions, a record label and concert promotion organisation that hosted the Milwaukee Noise Fest for 8 years.

ICE VOLT
minneapolis. est 2006
undead horrors. gurgling echoes of the underdark. spewn through ancient crust. crystalized to jagged spires of frozen brittle needles.
demented vocalisation. grating metal. digital corruption. upset equilibrium.

WEIRD FIELDS
Four friends (two Food People, two Krupps) trying to fan the flames of a precious madness.
