On the evening of Friday, June 6th, we proudly presented experimental electronic musician Allan Pichardo’s solo project My Love Mhz (PDX), experimental electronic musician Hal McGee (FL), Chris Phinney and Jeff Chenault’s noise project Skull Vacuum (CMH/MEM), and noise musician/circuit bender/artist Michael Hancock (CVG).
Supporters of our 2024-2025 season include the Greater Columbus Arts Council, the Ohio Arts Council, the National Endowment for the Arts, and the Columbus Foundation.
About the artists: Skull Vacuum is the duo of long-time collaborators Chris Phinney (Memphis, TN) and Jeff Chenault (Columbus, OH). Both are 30+ year veterans of the homemade music cassette culture underground, with Chris having run the Harsh Reality Music tapes label and Jeff with the I.T.N. label, which morphed into the Exoteque Music label. While Jeff and Chris have known each other since 1986 and have recorded four albums together, Skull Vacuum is their latest effort. Their first release Burn Sees Dark was released on CD by Exoteque Music in 2020.
