DAVID CUNNINGHAM is a record producer and musician who makes installation works based on real-time exploration of acoustics. His first significant commercial success came with THE FLYING LIZARDS' single "Money", an international hit in 1979. Over the years he has worked with an eclectic range of people and music, from pop groups (This Heat, Martin Creed) to improvisation (David Toop, Steve Beresford) to Michael Nyman's music for Peter Greenaway's films and work with Ute Lemper and others. The installation works have inhabited the 11th Biennale of Sydney, Tate Britain, ICC Tokyo, Ikon Birmingham and most recently Carter Presents, London.
YASUAKI SHIMIZU, composer, producer/arranger and renowned multi-genre saxophonist (who has worked with Ryuichi Sakamoto, Bill Laswell and The Orb) has been pushing the saxophone to the limit since the 1970s. Whether as a solo performer, with his group "Saxophonettes" or as a composer for film and television soundtracks or as collaborator with artists involved in video, multimedia and dance, he has consistently explored new avenues in an unparalleled musical career.
