PAS started in 1995 out of Brooklyn, NY, USA, driven by the creative talents of Robert L. Pepper working in the mediums of sound and video. Since then PAS has evolved into a collective with many different instrumentations and line ups. Permanent members include Amber Brien, Job “Vomit” Worthley, Michael Durek, and Will Seesar. Guests and occasional collaborators include, Z'ev, HATI, Steve Beresford, Philippe Petit, and many others. PAS is a group out to create musical collages through the form of abstract sound. Their name refers metaphorically to those who have been aborted by society because their point of view doesn’t fit in the constraints of “normal” society. Since its inception, and on over nine CDs, PAS has been interested in making music from the fringes of perception, creating soundscapes that aren’t defined by any particular conventions or viewpoints; it is more defined by the notion that music can be whatever the ear perceives. This is not music-making with any sense of or desire for commercial viability, but sonic sculptures in the mode of pure art.

HATI, founded in 2001 by Rafal Iwanski and Dariusz Wojtas, is an audiovisual project based on sound of ethnic instruments from all over the world as well as hand-made instruments or found objects. HATI forms a link between a personal interest in modern improvised and acoustic music with ritual and meditation. Since 2003, HATI have performed many times in their native Poland, as well as Germany, Spain, Netherlands, Belgium, and many other countries and festivals. They have forged both studio and live cooperations with such provocative artists as Z'ev, John Zorn, Pure, Asmus Tietchens, Troum, Reformed Faction, Job Karma, Thomas Koner, and many more. Theirs is a striking, vibrant, full-bodied sound, made all the more visceral by its sheer physicality; yet, instead of reams of punishing noise, HATI instead massage the reverberations of their instrumental arsenal to form wholly-absorbing cloudbanks of sound.

Just six days and counting until OTP presents one of the more unique shows of the season, as the industrial-cum-abstract collagists PAS mix and match their clever auralplay with the gong arrays and found object percussive arsenals of HATI. Only $8 for advance tickets ($10 @ the door). Come out to witness some metal machine music in action & help support both the artists & the independent electronic/experimental music scene in Northeast New Jersey.
