Planed Debris: Texas Noise and Ambience environment is the second concert in an ongoing series curated by Markus Cone and Ian Travis that spotlights the works of Ambient, Drone, and Noise based musicians currently located and performing in the state of Texas. Through the use of acoustic instruments, auxiliary percussion, electronics, and devices, the musicians in the series strive to create sound collages and musical environments challenging the listener's notion of active and passive listening.

The performers:

ze'r0-sum, Dark Ambient music with a classical edge.

Concrete Violin, Formed after the collapse of Turmoil in the Toybox, Concrete Violin employs pedals and everyday objects to create a harsh noisy texture.

Endless Blinding Sunshine, Endless Blinding Sunshine is Steve Matis and Carlos Pozo from Houston, Texas. Primarily a live performance outfit, Endless Blinding Sunshine uses feedback and effects to create minimal drones and ambient noise.

Chin Xaou Ti Won, Chin Xaou Ti Won is a Houston-based Synth-pop/contemporary classical duo, comprised of Marcus Cone and St-Michel. The music draws on heavily from 80's New Wave, Anime-Pop/Video Game Music and 20th Century Minimalism - all belted out on a stack of synths, electronics and walls of percussion. Often dubbed by critics as film music, CXTW's music is built strongly around melodies, ranging from the simplistic, yet catchy, to the lush and contemplative.

Bret Shirley, A member of noise-rock outfit Black Congress, Bret Shirley employs pedals, midi devices, and guitars creating an acute ambiguous wall of pleasant noise.

T.E.F, An active member of Houston's Noise scene for over a decade, T.E.F is noise-music with an ambient intention.

Bonus, Jazz, Noise, and drones are all belted together to create a ambient Post-Rock sound.
