endoPHONIC
An electronic/acoustic/organic fusion, endoPHONIC present a live mixture of
pre-digested and improvised material that ensures each performance is a
distinctive event. Their performances use home-made MIDI controllers,
electronic transformations of acoustic sounds and real-time software
synthesis. Their performances explore sonic textures and wefts; the result
is a swirling morass of haunting sonorities and addictive beats.
endoPHONIC is greg jenkins (mixage, electronic percusion, cactus) and
richard wilding (ebow guitar, mixage). In recent performances, classical
musician jane elliott has joined endoPHONIC to fuse the beautiful resonances
of her cello with their distinctive electronica.
greg is known as ?cactusman? due to his penchant for playing a cactus as an
amplified acoustic instrument. He also builds various midi-devices which he
uses to control software synthesisers. At endoPHONIC gigs he?s the one
prodding, kneading and caressing the rubber coated surface of the midi
percussion controller.
richard works with computer-based synthesis and composition. He tortures
his guitar with an e-bow and a variety of medieval effects devices.
Blending disparate elements, his wild eclecticism doesn?t respect boundaries
of genre, style or taste. He is also a respected new music critic and
literary theorist.
