    8PM

    LOS ANGELES – The Society for the Activation of Social Space through Art and Sound (SASSAS) is pleased to present sound. at 356 S. Mission Rd: Aaron Dilloway / Jason Lescalleet / John Wiese, the first-ever Los Angeles performance of electro-acoustic duo Aaron Dilloway (Wolf Eyes, Hanson Records) and Jason Lescalleet (Erstwhile, Chondritic Sound) on Saturday, August 17 at 8:00pm. Opening for Dilloway and Lescalleet is Los Angeles-based John Wiese, founding member of the concrète grindcore band Sissy Spacek and an alum of SASSAS’s recent Tape Music Concert.

    Dilloway and Lescalleet, both highly accomplished in their own right, will also perform solo sets in addition to performing together as a duo. Dilloway, a tape/electronic composer, improviser, and founding member of Wolf Eyes, received widespread critical praise for his album Modern Jester. Pitchfork writes that the album “feels like a major statement.” It was named one of the Top 10 Outer Sound Albums of 2012 by NPR. Lescalleet, an electro-acoustic artist who merges noise, contemporary composition, and minimal electronics, released the album Songs About Nothing in 2012, which won critical acclaim from Pitchfork, NPR, The New York Times, Time Out New York, and was ranked number five on The Wire’s Top 50 Releases of 2012.

    Dilloway and Lescalleet’s performance as a duo continues a recent and fruitful collaboration between the pair that resulted in the highly-praised album Grapes and Snakes. Using purely analog synths and tape manipulation, the artists build a foggy psychoacoustic mass that lies between dynamic yet patiently treated tape music and industrial howl.

    John Wiese, works primarily in recorded and performed sound, with a focus on installation and multi-channel diffusions, as well as scoring for large ensembles.
