RS-232 (Joe Cantrell) has been active in the performing community of the Los Angeles Area for about 13 years and his work has encompassed numerous musical disciplines from jazz to indie rock to experimental music and incorporates differing instruments and techniques such as re-purposed devices, tape destruction and computer generated sounds, as well as more traditional instruments. RS-232’s music appeared on Simballrec’s 45 Seconds of… CD, As an installation artist, RS-232 takes inspiration from the incessant acceleration of technology and media and the waste it produces. The more inseparable they become, the less our lives are defined by “genuine” interactions and experiences. With Mark Cetilia, he performed at the 2005 CEAIT festival held at REDCAT in the Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles, as well as having a sound installation at Soundwalk 2005. Very subtle and heady tunes.
