"w ((aa)) ou w (pronounced 'wow'), also known as 'Poverty Hymns,' is a Buffalo-based electro-acoustic sound trio fronted by Jim Abramson, Tristan Trump, and Jax DeLuca, who is also Programming Director at Squeaky Wheel ( http://www.squeaky.org/ ). Their set consists of avant-noise rock at punishing volume, utilizing live drums, samples/loops and manipulated voice coupled with video projections to produce cacophonous multi-media results."

From the description at Soundlab's website (http://www.bigorbitgallery.org/soundlab/upcoming.html): "Ho-Ag plays a mess of sci-fi B-movie spazz-rock. Instrumentation includes guitars, bass, Moog synths, theremin, electronic noise boxes, and drums. "This is long-running, underground soul-crushing sort of work that deals in hobbled bits of haunted house themes, scraping guitars, synth bleats, upside-down bits of New Wave, wrecks of lyrics that clang on by like the homeless ghosts of never-were prophet-salesman. That muted trumpet sort of Velvet Glove Cast in Iron thing you can't figure out. The Darkness, Ortho Stice. The glory days of the Trinity Site and men that found the remnants in briefcases floating around black and white palm tree paradisos. The doctors have knives for answers. Oh no! "Ho-Ag has played with the following good people: Neptune, Melvins, Deerhoof, Melt-Banana, Dan Deacon, Dark Meat, Jello Biafra, Daughters, Dresden Dolls, Enon, The Octopus Project, Six Finger Satellite, Twig Harper, Parts and Labor, Wolf Eyes, Marnie Stern, Big Bear, Ex-Models, Sleeptyime Gorilla Museum, Skeleton Key, The Mae-Shi, The Shipping News, Icy Demons, Hallelujah the Hills, Double Dagger, Animal Hospital, Monotonix, Cinemachanica, We Versus the Shark, Neptune, Fat Day, World/Inferno Friendship Society, Professor Murder, Capillary Action, Ghengis Tron, USAISAMONTSTER, So Many Dynamos, DMBQ, Yip Yip, This Bike is a Pipe Bomb...." http://www.ho-ag.com/ http://www.myspace.com/hoagsobject http://www.myspace.com/deepearthsounds http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ho-Ag
Excerpt from the last 18 minutes of their approximately 40-minute improvisation at Soundlab in Buffalo, NY, on Wednesday, October 7, 2009... "This performance began with a formal constraint: the three performers would create a visual score to music (still or video, any length), and a means to interpret such a score (from completely off the cuff to very technically prepared, in any instrumentation or musical paradigm). At the beginning, the performers exchange the visual scores, having never seen them, and perform them simultaneously, according to the means they've prepared. Totally improvised, impossible to foresee."
