Artist Bios
Gil Kuno
Gil Kuno is a Tokyo- and New York-based artist whose work spans video, sculpture, sound, and 2D — unified by a long-running interest in the tension between regularity and irregularity, where the noise inside structured rhythms gets translated back into image and sound. In 1995 he launched Unsound, an early collaborative web platform for visual artists and musicians; more recent work has included repurposing 1960s flip-dot display technology into kinetic animations. He has collaborated with Eye Yamantaka and Yoshimi (Boredoms), Battles, Carl Stone, Tatsuya Yoshida (Ruins), Alec Empire, Steve Albini, Merzbow, and Nissennenmondai, among others.
Mario Consunji
Mario Consunji is a Manila-based artist and producer working across electronic music and sound design. He’s known for his earlier minimal synth project Big Hat Gang, which debuted on Number Line Records in 2011, though his work has since moved away from song form toward ambient and sound. His most recent record, Landscapes, released under his own name, originated as an audiovisual piece staged at Kaput 8 in collaboration with Derek Tumala — treating ambient not as background but as a core mode of expression.
Children of Cathode Ray
Children of Cathode Ray (est. 1989) is regarded as one of the earliest experimental sound art groups in the Philippines. The original lineup formed around Red Rocks (later Club Dredd) in Timog Avenue and brought together six members across video, visuals, bass, synthesizers, electronics, guitar, lighting, percussion, and effects: Tad Ermitano, Jing Garcia (a.k.a. autoceremony), Blums Borres, Peter Marquez, Regiben Romana, and Magyar Tuazon. Pieces sit at the intersection of music, experimental film, and cyberpunk dystopia — a Cathode Ray performance might layer four-second cassette loops, effected guitars, synthesizer pads, and raving in an invented language under projections of Super-8 abraded with kitchen implements.
