// Date: 04. December 2010, 20h // Venue: General Public, Schoenhauser Allee 167c, 10435 Berlin    DISK Session #21 presents audio-visual performances of Frank Bretschneider and MimiCof (a.k.a. Midori Hirano) with Jeffers Egan.   Frank Bretschneider (DE) - A musician, composer and video artist in Berlin. His work is known for precise sound placement, complex, interwoven rhythm structures and its minimal, flowing approach. Described as „abstract analogue pointilism“, „ambience for spaceports“ or „hypnotic echochamber pulsebeat“, Bretschneider‘s subtle and detailed music is echoed by his visuals: perfect translated realizations of the qualities found in music within visual phenomena. He has been releasing his work through several record labels including 12k, Korm Plastics, Mille Plateaux, Quatermass, raster-noton, Staalplaat etc. and is performing at music and new media festivals worldwide. For DISK SESSION #21, he is going to play his latest work "EXP". http://www.frankbretschneider.de http://www.myspace.com/frankbretschneider   Jeffers Egan (US) - Developed entirely with handcrafted, algorithmic processes, Jeffers Egan's abstract animations explore the concepts of digital as organism, and software as ecosystem. His motion paintings, live av performances, and videos have been showcased worldwide at festivals, galleries and museums including Netmage, Pacific Design Center, Sao Paulo Museum of Image and Sound, CTM festival and the Walker Art Museum. Egan's work has been hailed as "astounding"(Groove), "beautiful"(New York Times), "fascinating" (Musicwoche), "a mesmerizing and meditative experience(ArtWeek)" and "the most advanced trip imaginable in the current field of video art."(De:Bug) http://www.jeffersegan.com   Midori Hirano (JP) - A musician, composer, sound artist and producer, born in Kyoto and now based in Berlin. She has been playing music since the age of 5 when she used a piano to flesh out her earliest compositions. While this led her to major in classical piano at university, it was the less traditional aspects of electronica that would ultimately prove her major inspiration. Her productions are augmented with often subtle electronic processing and digital samples creating a rich, rolling sound that is at once warm and melodic while tracing unexpected musical trajectories. She is going to play under the name of MimiCof which focuses more on electronic texture. http://midorihirano.com http://soundcloud.com/midorihirano	> December 04, 2010
