CHESTER HAWKINS (Washington DC) has recorded and performed a wide range of experimental music since 1985. The best-known project was BLUE SAUSAGE INFANT, which began as an exercise in modern audio Dadaism (via musique concrete and tape-collage) and later expanded to embrace drone, krautrock, electronic psychedelia, brutal noise, and cinematic sound design.

After 28 years, BLUE SAUSAGE INFANT was retired and new works continue under the human name. Using an arsenal of electronics, tapes, acoustics, and modified objects, the goal remains the creation of deep and elegant trance states with a glaze of paranoid tension. Past collaborators in recordings and performances include Richard Pinhas (Heldon), J. Surak (Violet), Dave Newhouse (The Muffins), Insect Factory, Thee Maximalists, Pilesar, and many others. http://www.chesterhawkins.org/index.html

Fast Not Safe performs electroacoustic music with a message, agitprop for all ages. Dave Vosh and Keith Sinzinger have been collaborating for many years. Dave brings his deep knowledge of modular synth improvisation to complement Keith’s samples, loops and other manipulated extractions from contemporary conflict.
