DATE ::::::::: thurs 11th Feb ----------------------- ::::::::: SPRAWL present a special performance by multi media ::::::::: artists WIGGLE - VJing, DJing & Net-jamming in full effect, ::::::::: hot from the Rotterdam Film Festival... ::::::::: _In their own words:_ "It used to be that bands were formed in a certain city, members having to meet in a studio and jam in order to compose. With the Internet, those composers can be gathered on a worldwide basis, as network technologies can allow for musical collaborations over remote locations." "The most talented musicians were recruited over the Net for WIGGLE; members were found in Japan (Aki,) Australia (Raphiel,) and the U.S.A. (Brett). These three compose together as a traditional band, with one difference; composition does not occur in a studio, but on the Internet." "They appeared in their first video through the personas of computer graphic characters, and their concerts are performed with several of the members appearing on monitors via the Internet. This video won first prize at the Media Arts Contest held by the Japanese Ministy of Culture." "WIGGLE is not only a pioneer in their compositional methods, but musical style as well. The sound designers for the first album are CRISTIAN VOGEL - a Techno prodigy from the UK, and KEN ISHII - Japanese Techno God."
