Francisco Meirino & Gerritt Wittmer "The Confidence of Being Lost" CD
First full length studio collaboration album from these two veterans of sound art. Three parts intended to be listened to in a continuous session. Influenced by the current state of global consciousness. A deep and thought provoking quest for answers that do not exist. Magical and haunting.
Born in 1975, Francisco Meirino is active since 1994 (as phroq until 2009) in sound and live performance, he explores the tension between programmable material and the potential for its failure by working mainly with the computer, magnetic fields detectors, reel-to-reel tape recorders, piezo transducers and various acoustic devices.
Gerritt Wittmer is a sound and performance artist based in Oakland, California. His work often articulates abstract narratives through vocal expression, body performance, and intense theatrical lighting. He has performed and recorded as Gerritt, Ginnungagap (with Stephen O'Malley and Tim Wyskida), Deathroes (with Sixes), and has performed and/or collaborated on projects with Sunn O))), Sissy Spacek, John Wiese, and Paul Knowles. He currently is the lead vocalist for the band Names and also directs the publishing house Misanthropic Agenda.
