Suit and This Invitation


Suit
Nathan Howe and Roland Toledo met while studying UrbanDesign/Landscape
Architecture at the Pennsylvania State University, while exchanging
presentation techniques of glamorized landscapes. Since moving to New York City to pursue music in 2000, it was not until 2002 that S U I T became the body from which they have released three EPs: Death March (2002), Mass Touching/Ninfa (2003), and Pang OS (2004), also two sound collages, KM (2003) and KM 2 (2004). These are all released under their limited edition platform KM. They currently reside in New York City.

Shige Moriya
born in Kyoto, Japan, is a video-installation artist and curator. He has been in New York since 1993. He first worked as an exhibition curator in Soho, but in 1996 Moriya moved to Williamsburg and opened CAVE. Since then he has been CAVE's Artistic and Executive Director. He has presented his video pieces both locally and internationally in Germany, Japan and Vietnam. In 2002 he received a grant for a residence in Hanoi, which was partly funded by the Ford Foundation.

Chris Jordan
Has an extensive history of work with visuals and projected light in all manners of multi-media performances and collaborations including the long-running Friday-night Bunker series at Subtonic, performances with Eyewash at the Museum of Modern Art in Dec. 2004, and at venues such as The Knitting Factory, Volume, Robert Beck Memorial Cinema, as well as creating the visual accompaniment for Bob Mould’s 2001 tour, and most recently for the Cleveland Philharmonic in February 2006.

This Invitation
Formed by California expatriates guitarists Warren Ng and Casey Farnum in 2001, with Michael Kornberg on drums and additional guitars, This Invitation's music is built on the hushed abstract roar of its drifting dreamlike guitars, layered tones and whispered vocals evoking a kind of cinematic sound, with elements of slowcore, minimalism and experimentalist drone & noise music. They have performed at Tonic, Knitting Factory, BPM & numerous other venues in the NY/Brooklyn area. They released a cd called The Skin of Light on their Helio/Form imprint, and appear on the recently released Music for Plants compilation cd created for the artist Peter Coffin’s installation
piece at the Andrew Kreps Gallery, NYC.
