RAJAR is a collective project founded in 2003 as part of the Illegal
Art exhibition's SF show (see http://www.illegal-art.org/),
based on the idea of extending appropriation's hold on the art world
to include real-time processing of live radio transmissions. While
this idea has links to a wide range of musical thinkers, including
Cage, Stockhausen, Holger Czukay, and others, it seemed time
to re-approach this concept with a diverse approach which represents
the current spectrum of electronic music endeavor. The results of
this initial exploration have led to an ongoing project with a
fixed line-up: Bob Boster, Xopher Davidson, Michael Gendreau,
David Kwan, and Patty Liu.

RAJAR is a true collective of improvisers, building an equanimitous
sound organism for each performance without a leader/mixer/editor.
Processing tactics include a wide range of technologies, including
no processing, lo-tech stomp boxes & outboard gear, and cutting
edge DSP schemes deployed on laptops. This range of approaches
builds a particularly rich fabric of sound, which in turn is mapped on
the performance space in collaboration with the audience in real-time.
In other words, we hook up radios to a bunch of devices and mess
with the sounds...usually people seem to enjoy it. Generally it's
even more fun for us.

Fluorescent Grey, the brainchild of jacob jarnigon & robert
martin, is rhythmic experimental music. His songs are
conceptual with original concepts and expansions of both
contemporary and classic techniques. Combining homemade
synthesizers, original field recording, real instruments,
sampling, mind bending and sometimes stomach churning
effects (many made using custom electronic software
modules), Fluorescent Grey genre bends into uncharted
territory where not even autechre, richard devine, or mr
bungle dare to venture.
