We love to play at Tonic. Its so casual. This time we had one $10 camera that Arthur of Artanker Convoy got for us at a garage sale, and one nice camera, each on its own projector. As usual, everything was created from available light. No computers, and now pre-recorded source tapes. The theme for the evening was "nothing can stop us from enjoying this." Does it show?

We are a group of international composers, musicians, dancers, videoists, and designers.

In New York MUX has performed at Symphony Space, Dance Theater Workshop, Joyce Soho, The Knitting Factory, Galapagos, and the classic punk rock venue CBGB's as well as less traditional spaces such as the hold of a antique merchant ship, warehouses, public gardens and other alternative venues. We have also performed at the Mercosur Theater Festival in Córdoba, Argentina, and recently came back from an African debut in Maputo, Mozambique.

the space in between
nobody knows what it means, but we made it in the future.

public-private partnership of the National Endowment for the Arts, the U.S.
Department of State, the Pew Charitable Trusts, and the Rockefeller
Foundation. The Fund makes grants to individual performing artists and to
organizations that have been invited to participate in international

CMJ refers to the College Music Journal's huge gathering in New York every year. Artanker Convoy and MUX were part of the scene. It was a complete psychedelic set. The band wore all white to suck the visuals into them, but being in the picture, they never actually see the effect they help to generate. The MUX players all wear white for synchronicity, though there usually isn't any video on us. Other bands from the Social Registry, the label the Convoy is on, also played. Telepathy, one of the bands, had an interesting overhead projector analog of the algorythmic video we do. We hope that Tonic will be around for a long time to come...

The last US performance of this work by Japanese artist Naoko Kikuchi was also her last performance before she left the country. Naoko did dance one other piece in this modern dance sampler and received a standing ovation at the curtain call. She made quite a buzz in the dance world.
