AUX is an Athens-based collective of experimental audio and visual artists whose curators include Heather McIntosh (The Instruments). A couple of years ago they put together a festival in Athens which featured performers such as Lorkakar (The New Sound of Numbers‘ Hannah Jones), and Vortex of Withering (Circulatory System’s W. Cullen Hart and Elf Power’s Andrew Rieger); they also released a limited-edition compilation CD featuring Korena Pang (Jeff Mangum), W. Cullen Hart, Heather McIntosh, Paul Thomas, Hannah Jones, and more. Next month will be AUX 2, a second live event with video, artwork, and performance. The event will be held on Saturday, February 23rd, across three venues: Cine, Little Kings, and Flicker. Heather has released the initial lineup, which is as follows (more artists to be added):
