Like those times when you are reading in bed and realize you've read the
first line of that paragraph over and over again.  You can't go on, you'll
go on.

More on the musicians:

*rise set twilight* is the multimedia project of Linda Aubry Bullock and
Mike Bullock. Layering analog and digital synthesis, feedback, field
recordings and projections, rise set twilight manifests in several ways: in
multimedia performance installations; as the dance party unit of DJ
orangecookie and VJ Fielder Blank; and as a straight-up noise duo (AKA
Barkhausen).

*Linda Aubry Bullock*'s earliest memories include being fascinated with the
sound of humming transformers, birds, and the distant sound of the
television which she references through electronics, keyboards and harp.
Linda studied music at Berklee, Boston Conservatory and Bennington and has
developed a career in visual arts. In addition to the duo rise set twilight,
Linda has a solo project called The Sun is an Orange Cookie (2006 release
"My Heart of Sugar" on Chloë Recordings).

As Ambrosia Porcelain, Linda and her mother Miriam create handmade and
handpainted porcelain tableware.

About "My Heart of Sugar":

Linda Gale Aubry, who is behind TSiaOC, really knows how to keep things
going with a well chosen palette of short electronic patterns, sampled
acoustic percussion and field recordings, that she subjects to thoughtful
variations and accentuation's…My Heart of Sugar is a delightful release,
from the fluid, vaguely house-influenced pulse of "Find a Place Before Dark
Falls" to the noisier textures of the final track - cozy music, somewhere
between pop-oriented electronica (minus the melodies), laid-back minimal
house (minus the bouncing bass) and glitchy ambient (minus the cliché-laden
sounds).

Magnus Schaefer, Vital Weekly 552

The Sun Is An Orange Cookie is highly synthetic music, even when perhaps
some of it is made through methods of improvisation. It's very upfront stuff
that is made with a sort of sense for naivety. Arpeggio synths, minimal
samplings…in the end it's thumbs up for this.

Frans de Waard, Vital Weekly 523

*Michael T. Bullock* is a composer and improviser based in Troy, NY. He has
performed in an eleventh century stone chapel, a Czech monastery, and on the
side of mountain.

As a solist, in duo with cellist Vic Rawlings, and with electronic duo rise
set twilight (with Linda Aubry), Mike has performed across the US and in
France and Czech Republic. He has collaborated with Bhob Rainey and Greg
Kelley (of nmperign), Mazen Kerbaj, Christian Wolff, Lê Quan Ninh, Daniel
Carter, and Theodore Bikel. Mike is a member of the BSC, a large ensemble of
improvisers originating in Boston, which has collaborated with musicians and
composers from all over the world.

His recordings appear on Grob, Intransitive, CIMP, Emanem, Kissy, Fargone,
Rounder and Naxos. In 2002 he founded Chloë, a label dedicated to
electro-acoustic music. Mike is a doctoral candidate in the Electronic Arts
department at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy.

These guys elected to go bio-less.  When you hear them, you'll know why -
the music speaks for itself, and the musicians talk to themselves.

As always, big big ups to the UAG.
