KOLE GALBRAITH (Peoria Tribe) (Seattle)
Kole Galbraith is a multi-disciplinary artist who focuses on sound, audio-visual, and found-object installation. Based in Seattle, Washington, Kole has been active in the underground experimental music community for the past decade performing throughout the West Coast of the United States and Europe. Sonically his sonic studio compositions are informed by early 20th century French musique-concrète, metal, jazz and contemporary composition. Thematically, the compositions are influenced by interior Salish folklore, and contemporary Indigenous experience. Galbraith mixes using materials found in nature with electronic techniques to uncover both latent sonic capabilities and to uncover latent histories. Galbraith has released albums on his own label, Obscure & Terrible, and other labels such as SIGE and Titania Tapes. Galbraith has worked with musicians including Lori Goldston, Greg Kelley, Jessika Kenney, Steve Moore, Raven Chacon, Warren Realrider, Nathan Young, Chloe Alexandra Thompson, Patrick Wurzwallner, Maja Osojnik, morher and Noel Kennon.

New Haven Noise Machine
The Wobbulator
Tryx and Kit continue their conversation about how improvisation can inform and foster freedom by interfacing with the Nam June Paik raster manipulator, or the Wobbulator. The raster manipulator is an old black and white vacuum tube TV modified with extra windings and audio inputs. What happens to liberation dialog when it is converted to loose electrons and pulled by strange magnetic fields as they bombard phosphor to make it glow?
