yek koo is the solo project of visual and performing artist Helga Fassonaki (half of free psych duo Metal Rouge), often appearing in a ragged stripped-down cloak of distorted guitar, wailing vocals, pocket trumpet and non-kosher samples. Originally from Los Angeles, she recently relocated to the East Coast where her latest LP, ‘Desolation Peak’ was recorded – a classic example of yek koo’s unruly rhythm logic and haunting vocals. She has performed at Hammer Museum’s Made in LA part of KCHUNG TV’s Crystalline Morphologies, Open Melody Festival at UC Irvine (CA), Ear&Eye Festival (Auckland, NZ), On Land Festival (San Francisco), Human Resources (LA), Public Fiction (LA), Whitney Biennial 2012 (NYC), and a multitude of other galleries and venues throughout the United States, United Kingdom, Europe, Australia, and New Zealand.

Gabie Strong is a California based artist exploring spaces of degeneration, drone and decay as a means to improvise new arrangements of self-reflexive meaning. To explore the arena between exteriority and interiority, she uses sound performance, radio broadcasting, sculpture, photography and video as a mediums for experimentation. In looking for the differential, Strong invokes noise to summon the invisible. She has performed at The Hammer Museum Made in L.A. 2014 exhibition, Human Resources, SASSAS, LACE, High Desert Test Sites, LACMA, the MAK Center for Art and Architecture, 88Boadrum and with Dawn Kasper and Lady Noise for the 2012 Whitney Biennial opening events. Strong is the host of KCHUNG Radio program Crystalline Morphologies. Crystalline Morphologies is a platform for broadcasting experimental music, noise, sound art and field recordings.
