Martin Howse operates within the fields of discourse\, speculati ve hardware (environmental data in open physical systems)\, code (an examin ation of layers of abstraction)\, free software and the situational (perfor mances and interventions). Heavily improvised\, playing with the collapse o f massed\, barely functional salvaged equipment and software systems made m anifest in sound/noise and image\, Howse presents a complex\, process-drive n constructivist performance\; the symphonic rise of the attempt to piece t ogether fugal systematics is played out against the noise of collapse and m achine crash at the deserted border of control.

bicycle day is a three piece orchestra making quiet or big sound \, from Istanbul. They are formed in 2008\, known for making only improvise d music and for their DIY guerilla albums. This performance which they will experiment as an electronic duo also has the distinction of being the orch estra's first performance in Europe. Everything played and recorded just on ce. This bike ride could be an auditory escapade for who are interested in flexible structures and the aesthetics of failure.
