Tim Feeney and Vic Rawlings have performed as a duo since 2005.  Their music explores an unpredictable relationship with making sounds, achieved by elaborate
preparation of acoustic soundboxes, such as drums or cello, and expanded via original electronic instruments, ranging from naked circuitboards to amplified kitchen objects.
They focus on the metamusical potential of unstable sounds and silences, exploring austere combinations of sound and the otherworldly ripple effects that pulse through
a silent space or alert ears.  The group has toured throughout the Eastern United States, and will release its first CD, In Six Parts, on the Sedimental label in spring 2007.
 Tim Feeney treats his percussion setup as a friction
 instrument, using bows, scrapers, and rosined
 drumheads as implements and sympathetic
 resonators to capture and amplify frequencies that
 go unheard when an object is struck with a mallet.  
 He supplements his acoustic console with an
 electronic instrument, arranged from no-input
 mixers, contact microphones, and effects pedals,
 that synthesizes and alters the spectral
 characteristics of low-fidelity sine tones, feedback,
 and noise.

 Tim collaborates with musicians including James
 Coleman, Howard Stelzer, Jack Wright, and the
 trio Onda, with whom he has performed at venues
 such as the Red Room in Baltimore, Boston's Institute
for Contemporary Art, Firehouse 12 in New Haven, Connecticut, the Knitting Factory
New York, Princeton University, Harvard University, and the inaugural Counter Fit
Festival in Rochester, New York.

Tim's double life as an interpreter of contemporary compositions has led him to venues
such as the Brooklyn Academy of Music and Norfolk Chamber Music Festival, with the
So Percussion group.  With Boston's Callithumpian Consort,  Tim has appeared at the
Gewandhaus in Leipzig, Germany, and as part of Tonic's 50th birthday celebration for
John Zorn.  He has recorded for the Soul on Rice, lildisc, Audiobot, and Brassland labels.
Vic Rawlings is active as an improviser and 
instrument builder, specializing in modifications 
of existing instruments, creating extensive cello 
preparations.  He also  continually develops an 
electronic instrument from extant exposed 
circuitry, producing, in effect, a modular analog 
synthesizer with a highly unstable interface.  
This electronic instrument is paired with a 
flexible array of exposed speaker elements, 
chosen for their often unpredictable and 
idiosyncratic acoustic qualities.

He performs as a soloist and as a member of 
undr quartet, the bsc, and in duo 
and trio ensembles with Mike Bullock, Greg Kelley, Bhob Rainey, Sean Meehan,
Jason Lescalleet, James Coleman, Liz Tonne, Tatsuya Nakatani, and Howard Stelzer,
among others.  Collaborators have included musicians as diverse as Eddie
Prevost (AMM), Donald Miller (Borbetomagus), Daniel Carter (Other Dimensions
in Music), Laurence Cook, Jaap Blonk, Masashi Harada, and Stephen Drury.

He has records for the Grob, Sedimental, Emanem, Boxmedia, Chloe, Absurd, and
Rykodisc labels.  He has performed as a soloist/composer with the Nicola Hawkins
Dance Company, and has composed scores for films by Alla Kovgan and Jeff Silva. He
has toured the United States and France.
