Ook dit jaar waren ze weer in de WORM-studio samen met Phil Knight, beter bekend als de Silverman, van The Legendary Pink Dots en gastheer Radboud Mens.
Big City Orchestra zijn dAS en Ninah Pixie die in wisselende bezettingen hebben samen gewerkt met 50 verschillende artiesten, waaronder Daevid Allen van de band Gong, Dan Burke van Illusion of Safety en Edward Kaspel en Phil Knight van The Legendary Pink Dots.
Phil Knight, aka the Silverman, is co-founder of The Legendary Pink Dots. He programs and plays keyboards and electronics. He was also a member of The Tear Garden, a band they formed with Skinny Puppy, andis a member of Mimir, a project with Jim O’Rourke, Andreas Martin and Christoph Heeman.
As The 3 Silverman he released about 20 albums since 1995.
Radboud Mens is a sound-artist, composer and sound designer who is working with sound since 1982. He started creating noise-machines in 1988. In the early 90’s he attached contact-microphones to dog’s brushes that he used to destroy vinyl records by scratch-playing them and recorded the results. Since many years he builts his own acoustic instruments and sound-installations. Bass-recorder flutes, long magnetic string installations, dronemachines and prepared guitars that are being played by transducers are used in liveconcerts. The recordings of these concerts are used in new compositions. Radboud Mens has worked with a broad variety of sound artists and composers, including Stephan Mathieu, Janek Schaefer, voice-artist Jaap Blonk and Craig Ward (ex-Deus).
