David Linton + Bruce Tovsky
David Linton has created sound for many collaborative dance, theater, and performance settings in New York since the early 1980s. With a background in percussion, he is now known equally well for his solo electro-acoustic drumkit performances. His current project, UnityGain, works with instantaneous collaborative audio-visual communication, and is now the basis for a Manhattan cable and webcast project UGTV (UnityGain Television), where he is producer, director, and an occasional performer.
Visual and sound artist Bruce Tovsky creates live video and sound improvisations, often in collaborations with other artists and musicians. He studied with Fluxus greats Bob Watts, Geoff Hendricks and Daniel Goode, and showed his video work across the USA, Europe and Japan. His most recent project was the samsh LOWLAND show at a secret New York location, exploring the subsonic potential of a monster club sound system with a premier group of improvisors.
Originally a percussionist, David Linton has created sound for many collaborative dance, theater, &; performance settings since his arrival in downtown NY in the early 1980's. By the later 80's - after a good deal of percussion work along side other musicians - he was equally known for his live wired solo electro-acoustic drumkit performances as well as his soundscore productions.
His 1986 solo LP 'Orchesography' (on Glen Branca's Neutral Label) was an influential collusion of 'early' sampling tek with street beats and theatrical post modernism. By the early 90's he had retired from 'live' performing in the 'improvised' electro-acoustic vein to concentrate on the vocabulary of entirely electronic music and the resultant paradigm shift in performance priorities that this new 'compressed' format suggested.
Throughout the 90's Linton became a dedicated advocate for the expansion and appreciation of realtime performance in electronic media through the design and/or production of event/environments such as 'SoundLab' (1996) and eventually 'UnityGain' (1997-present). Since 2002 Linton's fascination with instantaneous collaborative audio visual communication among select units of electronic musicians and visualists has assumed the form of a live television Manhattan cable/webcast project - UGTV - Unitygain Television - for which he is producer/director - and an occasional performer.
Visual/sound artist Bruce Tovsky began painting at the age of 7 and started playing with tape recorders at the age of 10. Ever since then he has been putting sounds and pictures together. After earning an MFA degree in Multimedia from Rutgers University in 1979, where he studied with Fluxus greats like Bob Watts, Geoff Hendricks and Daniel Goode, he began showing his video work across the USA, Europe and Japan. The late 70's to mid 80's also saw him involved in the downtown NYC film and music scene, where he produced records, made videos, and did live sound for Liquid Liquid, Model Citizens, Del Byzanteens and Dog E...
