Crank Sturgeon, ordained minister and usurper of plateau monoculture; Husolandija progenitor, dada-mainliner/international trianglewear peddler for the prototype alpha new millenial dirigible-parable concrete discourse found-object assembly (with pants).

Crank Sturgeon: junk noise, dada faux pas, actionist ethos (act-shun pathos), fisch kopf psychedelia, non-art performance-art, nothing too serious (and yet serious enough to keep doing it). Crank Sturgeon has been active in the periphery of noise and performance since 1992. Not content with the rules of the scene, Sturgeon invoked skills from his alma mater to de-create his form of noise; skills which by no coincidence, were schooled in Happenings, Futurism, video art, and art terrorism. Learning also that by injecting humor, stories, pun, and gibberish into the experiment, the shape of things became more personal and likewise (as with life), ever-changing. Armed with voice, busted guitar, contact microphones, junk metal, tape machines, and a scrappy costume in tow, the show desires to connect sonic expression and visual distortion with athletics of the absurd; the cause and effect becoming simultaneously caustic and celebratory. Wriggling, combustible, sweaty, and delirious... that would be the hope at least, in matters of fishnoise and man.
