Seeded Plain is Bryan Day (Decorah, Iowa) and Jay Kreimer (Lincoln, Nebraska), two experimental instrument makers who have been performing with new and unusual sounds on instruments made from everyday objects and materials. Their Entry Codes CD on Creative Sources (Portugal) was described as “playfully cranky and enjoyable…well worth the listen.” See their March 2011 Mini-Tour schedule here.

Also on the bill:

Aaron Zarzutski + Nick Hoffman
Their LP “PSYCHOPHAGI” on Pilgrim Talk was made using disassembled turntable, sewing machine, and amplified sheet metal.

Pelzwik
Duo from Minneapolis, (Birthday Set with: Dinger/Talking Computron ) “…noisy drone stuff on modified toys with some melodic elements. Probably more accessible than anything anyone else is doing…” http://www.myspace.com/pelzwik

Eric Leonardson
Enemy resident performs with self-built instruments made of coil springs, wood, and other pieces of hand-held, amplified detritus.

About Bryan Day

Omaha, Nebraska based improviser and concept artist Bryan Day (b. 1979) has been involved in the avant-garde music community for the last 12 years.  He started the, then Minneapolis-based, free music label Public Eyesore in 1997 as an outlet for his works using homemade electronic and mechanical sound generating devices, and to this day continues the process of expanding upon these themes.  Merging structure and chaos, Day uses an elaborate notation system and cellular automata based computer programs of his own design, along with the expressionist cues of visual art and modern dance for his inspiration. Rather than be known as a musician, he prefers to be known as an impulsive conceptualist, searching for difficult and inconvenient analogs to the contemporary experience using sound.
