CROSSWIRED audio/visual performance and installation series
featured at A+D Architecture and Design Museum April 20
through May 13.

Crosswired is an interactive, architectural installation and audio/
visual performance series that explores the confluence of
architecture, design, experimental electronic music and motion
visual art. It is presented in partnership with A+D Architecture
and Design Museum and sole sponsor SKYY90 Design Collective.
The installation will be up from April 20 to May 13. Every Friday,
Crosswired will feature two live performances by experimental
electronic music and motion visual artist pairs.

Series organizer and audio co-curator Constant Flux worked with
audio co-curator Sarah Chambliss (The Designed Disorder, PAX,
ELM) and motion visual artist curator Surya Buchwald (Los Angeles
Visual Artists) to organize the audio/visual performance series that
takes place four consecutive Friday evenings, and Workshop Levitas
created the symbiotic, architectural installation. The installation is
designed to interact with the audience and visitors are encouraged
to return during the rest of the week to explore it.

Interspersed, streaming installation visuals provided by i PROMISE 2
BE YOU (ipromise2beyou.com), an episodic mix of electronic music
and visual art featuring the best in music videos and independent
experimental shorts crafted by avant garde neo-noir film artisans
from around the globe.

Constant Flux has completed his new release entitled
Disentangled Elements. The follow up to All Things Change
(wide-released on Run Recordings, a division of Lakeshore
Motion Pictures), Disentangled Elements has a darker tone
with a flavor that is definitely more towards the glitch/electro
sound. Look for the new album in stores and online in the
next few months.

CONSTANT FLUX has kicked it into high gear to complete
the follow up release to the album entitled All Things Change,
which is still a few months away from being finished. All of the
sounds on CONSTANT FLUX productions are created from
scatch starting at the microscopic level, and then each part is
performed one by one until a complete orchestrated
composition is built up. It tends to be a very time-intensive
process, but it leads to its very own unique production sound
and musical character. Although CONSTANT FLUX has always
enjoyed exploring new means of production enabled through
technological leaps and bounds, the technique he employs to
create his tracks has remained basically the same since the mid
-to-late-eighties. Only now instead of using all analog hardware
and real to real tape, he has progressed over the years through
sequencing and mixing down to dat via outboard gear and a nice
analog mixer, to recording down to multiple hard-disk tracks, to
finally doing all of the production inside of a laptop...sweet! His
favorite parts of music production are still creating sounds from
basic waveforms until he has what he hears in his head, and
composition....the fine tweaking and manipulation are the icing on
the cake!
