But After the Shock...
ERIN ALTOMARE and RHODA & DANG. at After Shock
ERIN ALTOMARE is a harsh noise performer from Vancouver, BC. 15 years ago she began taking photos at noise shows in Vancouver, later becoming half of the noise project MOLENA. She now performs as a solo act. She enjoys pushing sounds into disintegrating, repeating, grinding patterns from whatever sources she is currently obsessed with.
DANG. is Danielle Jakubiak, a sound artist and therapist from Halifax, NS. Her current work has been focused on field recording and translating that into something compositional and intentional. She uses various processing techniques, and each procedure is a way for her to show to the listener how her own listening frames the world. She has released tapes on the label Buried in slag and debris and played at the Everyseeker Convention and Upstream Halifax.
RHODA is Chris Gibson. A sound and visual artist from Halifax, NS who works with field recordings, found sounds, tape machines and various electronics. He runs the label Buried in slag and debris, and is the editor for Untitled Zine. Chris is also an active member in Bleep in the Dark, an experimental collective who organize shows in Halifax.
The After Shock matinee is $10 PWYC at the door!

Notable festivals that he has played include No Fun (Brooklyn), Colour Out of Space (Brighton), Glamorama (Antwerp), Sounds Like (Saskatoon), Fake Jazz (Vancouver), and Minimidi (Beijing). After two decades of conjuring up demented tape squelch and heavy doom electronics, GREEN MIST is proud to perform at Initial Shock’s AFTER SHOCK matinee.

They have collaborated with artists such as TIM OLIVE, TOSHIMARU NAKAMURA, SCANT INTONE and others and worked with labels such as Magnetic Domain, No Type, Panospria and Oral, Flish, Slapart, and Krakilsk.
