Ven Voisey @venvoisey
Ven Voisey is a sculptor, composer, and designer who currently splits his time between Oakland, CA and Wonder Valley (Twentynine Palms), CA. His work is informed by an attention to surroundings; he creates rituals, tools and circumstances as a means of exploring the relationship between internal and external space; between the spiritual and physical.
Thomas Carnacki
Thomas Carnacki is a multi-headed entity engaged in the creation of the subtle, the textural, the disquieting, and the unsettling, instantiated in this instance by Cheryl E Leonard, Gregory Scharpen, and Agnes Szelag. Carnacki performances and recordings have invited notables such as Carla Bozulich, Carla Kihlstedt, Moe Staiano, Matmos, Andrew Liles, Marielle Jakobsons, Dawn McCarthy, Kristine Berrett, and M.S. Waldron/irr. app. (ext.) to help till the sonic fields. Carnacki music has reared its head in numerous cinematic settings, theatre and dance pieces, and other unlikely circumstances. Occasionally, people opine on the sporadic output, the general tenor of which can be exemplified by this sampling: “Ectoplasmic tendrils form unfathomable noises as unknown machines creak, click and rattle…. This is a whole other world where art and the afterlife briefly touch.” (brainwashed.com)
