Scanner and Stephen Vitiello are both recognised for their shared sensitivity to sound and space. Through recorded works, performances and installations they explore a world that shifts between digital pop culture and visual arts.
These live performances capture two live improvisations between the artists, musical acrobats without the net beneath them. Recorded in New York City these recordings present a world of shifting, organic sound, one indoors at the esteemed Knitting Factory, the other on the roof top of a skyscaper, the sun brightly spinning across their machines.
Scanner
British sound artist, Robin Rimbaud - explores an eclectic mix of activities that place him at the crossroads of academic and digital pop culture. Winning admiration from Bjork and Stockhausen, Scanner is committed to working with cutting edge practitioners and has collaborated with musicians Bryan Ferry and Laurie Anderson, writer David Toop, the artist Mike Kelley, among many others.
Vitiello
Electronic musician and sound artist who has collaborated with other musicians, visual artists and choreographers since1988. Celebrated by the New York Press as creating "listenable avant-garde music" he has worked ceaselessly for some years, occasionally breathing air with live shows and improvisations but equally content to hide beneath the surface and act as curator of sound as he recently did for the Whitney Museum's exhibition: The American Century: Art and Culture 1950-2000.
