Plasticity, the solo laptop project of Robert Madler, is experimental
beats and abstract electronic music influenced by algorithmic
composition, minimalism, sound-mass, electroacoustic music,
drum-n-bass, hip-hop and IDM. Plasticity unifies these influences into
a style of rhythmic arrhythmia consisting of morphing and phasing
beats, textures and harmonies. Robert Madler is a composer and
performer who has focused on experimental media since 1998,
specializing in electroacoustic composition for stereo diffusion and
multi-channel audio, compositions utilizing multiple video
projections, and programming in Max/MSP and Reaktor.

Daniel Iglesia creates music and media for humans, computers, and
broad interactions of the two. He is especially interested in live
manipulations of sound, with notions of automation and algorithmic
composition, the magnification of inherent chaos in sounds, and
real-time media performance with traditional instruments. His works
have taken the form of audio and video performance, instrumental works
with live electronics, gallery installations, and collaborations with
many disciplines such as theater and dance. His work has been
presented throughout New York City in such diverse venues as Lincoln
Center, Eyebeam Gallery, The Stone, Ontological-Hysteric Theatre,
Merkin Hall, Merce Cunningham Studio, the Public Theater, Monkeytown,
and in international festivals in the U.S., France, and Spain. He has
degrees in music and computer science from Princeton University
(2004), and now teaches at the Columbia Computer Music Center.

AsakoMusic is dreamy and spacey songs with big bass & break beats,
sung in different languages with mixed accents by Asako Fujimoto who
plays analog synthesizer, glockenspiel computer & little tribal
instruments. Songs are about abstract feelings towards random things
like clouds, airplane, sheep, moons, sun-shines and also often about
friends. Productions are born pretty much in mobile studios while
traveling to places like, Hamburg, Zurich, Lille, Barcelona, Reykjavik
and Osaka from a home base in Brooklyn. Asako has been an ambient part
of different bands and project collaborations such as Dead Radar, [a u
d i b l e], doroasako, Katja Loher and Das Videoorchester.
