This album is the first BricoLodge release by the some of the biggest nerds of conceptual pop, trance and elektroacousticlash, Max Haiven and Jon Vaughn, with an official short and sweet sequel to the their highly experimental CD for No Type Records "Front". The material on this album originates from the conceptual remixes of their CD for performance in Montreal at the Rien A Voir festival (Oct. 2003). ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ artist_bio Max_Haiven __________ Max Haiven works (currently in Hamilton Ontario Canada) at becoming an artist, academic and activist and teasing those humourless categories to the best of his limited abilities. Max largely makes use of audio and video technologies in his art work, although sometimes he writes. He has released a few small-run CDRs, several web releases (scattered around Bricoldge, for the most part) and collaborates often with usual and unusual suspects. With Jon Vaughn, he worked on the CD “Front" released in 2002 by NoType.com of Montreal. Max has performed audio and video works at festivals and given recitals in Saskatoon, North Bay, Montreal and Halifax. As an academic, max likes cultural studies, critical theory and interesting books and art. His research is on discourses of creativity in/and globalization and the interplay of the concepts of art(ists) and work(ers) in/and history and neoliberalism. He is currently completing his MA and continuing on to his PhD at McMaster University. As an activist, max has been involved in many groups ranging from global social justice to student issues to peace groups. He hates capitalism and loves chocolate and wine. Jon_Vaughn __________ Jon Vaughn: As an essential bad seed that makes mutations go off, Jon Vaughn's prolific practice spans DJing, improvisation, production, composition, event programming, VJing, painting, workshop facilitation, and playing zombies in low-budget quickies. Vaughn's electronic & electroacoustic music production works with experimental concepts and approaches to cultures of sound & how they are organized and connected or not why & what if, etc, while also exploiting various techno genres through his energetic, seamless, and shockingly fun style of performance. Always pushing himself to find the next aural fascination, Vaughn moves through many genres in his DJing repertoire, mixing old and new together to create deeply referential juxtapositions that can be appreciated by the seasoned ear. Digging deeper in Vaughn's musical closet, one finds a treasure trail of improvisation, collaborative compositions, and a maybe even a guitar. Renound for his exceptionally rich and detailed spastic delicacy, as well as his pervasive sense of humour, Jon Vaughn stands alone with his risqué audiopolitiks. Jon Vaughn is co-Director of the BricoLodge net.label with fellow artist and main-brain Carrie Gates, which is a culmination of the their pan-Canadian and International love networks, which span other net.labels (in which you will find more of Vaughn's releases) such as No Type, Panospria, Nishi & Slapart. Vaughn also helps develop the fabric of his community by organizing events with his collegues, selected events include: Digidome Festival of Electronic Art, hosted by Saskatoon-based artist-run centre paved Art & New Media in the (RIP) Ramada Golf Dome Digidome and Phantom Power, hosted by The Kennedy Gallery in North Bay Ontario in a very old haunted opera house. In October of 2003, Vaughn released an CD with the Montreal-based label and collective, No Type. The disc was released in conjuction with a live performance at the No Type-cureated Pre-rien sub-series of the Rien-a-Voir festival. The CD is entitled 'Front', and is the result of an intense three-year collaboration with Halifax-based activist and audio-visual artist, Max Haiven. Front is undoubtably Vaughn's (and Haiven's) most experimental, challenging, complex, and enjoyable work to date.
