Influenced
by improvisation in contemporary art, her work
expands outside of the
sound world straddling different disciplines of
interest. This year,
Chavez wrote and illustrated her first book
object entitled, Of
Technique: Chance Procedures on Turntable. The
book serves as a
how-to manual for those interested in learning
the abstract
turntablism techniques that she developed with
the turntable. This
book is considered the first sound related
release by Chavez since
her solo album release in 2004.</big></big></big></big></font></font><br>

Chavez
also works as an independent sound art curator
in NYC, collaborating
with various organizations and art spaces,
helping to produce events
and festivals that present the latest of what is
being shown in the
sound art world. Being an independent curator
helps to expand Maria’s
artistic research when developing new projects
for her own practice.</big></big></big></big></font></font><br>

<font color="#000000"><font style="font-size: 6pt"

began in Santiago, Chile from what they
describe as the result of, “a
product of a trance experience between
friends, sort of a soul
abduction in which they’ve been living since
2008.” The band is
made up of multi-faceted artists: Juan Pablo
(bass, vocals) is a
producer of the Sangre Fresca Music Festival
in Santiago, Diego
(drums) is a photograher, Alfredo (synth) is
an architect, and
Domingo (guitar) is also a filmmaker who just
premiered his first
feature length movie “Partir to Live”. They
believe that there is
some sort of gravitational force that makes
South America able to
dialogue directly with other places, times,
and dimensions. The band
have all known each other from childhood in
Santiago. They take their
times recording albums, generally allowing two
years in between
perfecting their songs with their goal being
to make something
organic, that breaths on it’s own, which
integrates into part of a
separate, higher and bigger living organism.</big></big></big></big></font></font><br>
<br>
<font color="#000000"><font style="font-size: 6pt"
size="1"><big><big><big><big>This
album shows the band growing an enormous
amount as songwriters,
focusing on more developed songs and
structures. Throughout these
five songs, Föllakzoid craft one of the finest
kraut-rock record in
years. Let them take you on a serpentine
journey through their
mystical Chilean land. Föllakzoid will be
making their Us touring
debut this spring.</big></big></big></big></font></font><br>

Schickert</big></big></big></big></font></font><font
color="#000000"><font style="font-size: 6pt" size="1"><big><big><big><big><font
size="1"><big> </big></font>Though
his name barely registers among most of the
Krautrock intelligentsia,
Schickert was both prolific in the back scenes
as well as being an
important artist. Along with the better-known
Achim Reichel,
Schickert pioneered the echo guitar,on<br>
his first record SAMTVOGEL
( Metronome/Brain ) where the repeated guitar
tones create unique
multi-layered textures that take the
instrument quite beyond the
ordinary.</big></big></big></big></font></font><br>
<font color="#000000"><font style="font-size: 6pt"
size="1"><big><big><big><big><br>
In
1973 Schickert founded the trio GAM, with
guitarist Axel Struck and
percussionist Michael Leske, and with
Schickert on guitar, vocals and
trumpet this group created a unique sort of
freaked-out space rock.
GAM recorded some jam sessions in 1976, which
were finally released
on cassette in 1986 titled Gam 1976, and an
unreleased album called
Eiszeit in 1978.</big></big></big></big></font></font><br>
<font color="#000000"><font style="font-size: 6pt"
size="1"><big><big><big><big><br>
At
this time Schickert was also creating music
for a theater
company,(Teatro Mu, Hundertfleck ) and even
performing live on stage
in some of the productions. He also served as
a roadie for electronic
music pioneer Klaus Schulze, and sometimes
played live with Schulze
as well. Schickertís second solo album,
‹berf‰llig, came out in
1979 on Sky Records, this time with Charles
Heuer on drums to augment
Schickertís echo guitar textures.</big></big></big></big></font></font><br>
<font color="#000000"><font style="font-size: 6pt"
size="1"><big><big><big><big><br>
In
the 1980s Schickerts work in theater
production continued, and he
also took part in a couple of bands, No Zen
Orchestra and Ziguri Ego
Zoo. A third album under his own name, this
one a completely solo
effort with him on guitar, tapes, vocals,
percussion, and trumpet,
Kinder der Wildnis, from 1983 only came out on
cassette, though it
showed that Schickert was expanding into a
wider range of musical
styles. Another collection, Somnambul, was
released in 1995 on CD
with music from throughout the decade and a
half before that. Though
his recordings are few and hard to track down,
especially the debut
Samtvogel, Schickert is an innovative music
creator who deserves more
notice. In the meantime he recorded many
tracks that are
still<font size="1"><big> </big></font>waiting
to be released, HaHeHiHo, Bamiyan Camel Recall<font
size="1"><big> </big></font>and
so on. There has been a rerelease of SAMTVOGEL
in Spain,<font size="1"><big> </big></font>on
Wah-Wah- Records in Barcelona that will be
followed by a CD in this
summer in the States on Important Records.<font
size="1"><big> </big></font>He was invited
by an
american group called MASERATI for their tour
in Germany and Prag.</big></big></big></big></font></font></big></font></big></big><br>
