Tim Kaiser commands his creations with simple sweeps of his hands, willing sounds into existence. He has scored films, been featured on PBS and MAKE:TV as well as in magazines, and has toured extensively. How he gets by airport security with his devices is anyone's guess, but his hand-built instruments are as alluring as the sounds they make. Kaiser has been a founding contributor and champion of the Weirdo Industrial Complex for more than 30 years.Visit Tim Kaiser's website: www.tim-kaiser.orgMinneapolis guitarist Paul Metzger showcases a maximalist aesthetic and a tinkerer's sense of adventure in his rambling, percussive solo works. Over the course of 30 years, playing modified banjo and acoustic guitar, he's honed a style that's "...austere and verbose, elegant and rustic." - Cecile Cloutier, National Public Radio.
