Dubious Candy desert retreat begins

I am here for a week to create a one-hour Dubious Candy soundtrack for an episode of Mysteries of UB, which airs on Peralta TV in Oakland. Here is the most delicious way to start things off: pizza and red wine.

Usufruct (YOO-zoo-fruckt) is the right of the people to harvest the fruits of common property. The duo Usufruct, consisting of flutist, composer, vocalist/improviser Polly Springhorn and computer musician Tim Walters, deconstructs, lovingly reassembles, and improvises around found texts and musical materials in the public domain.

Jorge Bachmann aka [ruidobello] has worked as a media artist, experimental composer, and curator. He is a founding member of MEI.collectiv, a multi­disciplinary group of artists. His eclectic work ranges from subtle musique concrete soundscapes to analog synth minimalism. Since the early 1980's he has been exploring the strange, unique and microcosmic sounds of everyday life, collecting field recordings and creating soundscapes meant for deep listening. In addition to Collision Stories he is one half of the synth duo Snowsteps.

Michael Gendreau started playing drums in 1972, and working with tape machines, scrappy electronics, and turntables a few years after that. He works as an acoustician, where his primary focus is on the design of very quiet research environments with respect to infrasound and vibration. He has worked both solo and in groups including Crawling With Tarts, rRope, Speed The Parting Guest, and others. His discography/videography contains more than 145 documented items since 1983.
