A little about Semiconductor:

Biography: Semiconductor are UK artists Ruth Jarman and Joseph Gerhardt. They make films out of sound using abstract landscapes and architecture as, a means to describe aural and visual interpretations of the world. Finely crafted digital work is combined with analogue processes that tailor the randomness and errors within computer systems as co-conductor. Their music can be described as a contradiction where 'music concrete' becomes simultaneously hypnotic and violent, minimal and maximal. These sound-scapes are a playground for imaginary environments and impossible modernist architecture. Live Digital performance is one strand of Semiconductors output; they also produce surround sound installations and single screen Sound Films which are exhibited at galleries, festivals and biennials worldwide.
