The avant-garde section is really missing a key musician of the genre without this guy. If you're interested in the further experimental side of the genre, I suggest a listen to some of his albums on cdbaby as over the past 10 years he's really become a powerhouse of the genre. http://cdbaby.com/found?allsearch=ernesto+diaz-infante&submit= - http://cdbaby.com/found?allsearch=ernesto+diaz-infante&submit= also he maintains a website here: http://www.paxrecordings.com/ernesto/ - http://www.paxrecordings.com/ernesto/ and his myspace info: http://www.myspace.com/diazinfante - http://www.myspace.com/diazinfante and here is a bio from his webpage: Born in Salinas, California, http://www.paxrecordings.com/ernesto/ - Ernesto Diaz-Infante is Chicano (of Mexican descent). He received his MFA in Music Composition from http://www.calarts.edu/ - California Institute of the Arts and has created musical compositions that span a broad perspective: transcendental piano, noise, avant-garde guitar, field recordings, lo-fi four-track manipulations, and experimental song. ED-I has performed throughout Europe and the United States, and his music has been broadcasted internationally. He has recorded more than 15 CDs of music and collaborated with numerous musicans. In 2000, his composition, I/O (for chamber ensemble), was performed by the http://www.earunit.org/ - California EAR Unit. He has been awarded residencies at the http://www.cirm-manca.org/ - Centre International de Recherche Musicale (CIRM) in Nice, France, http://www.millaycolony.org/ - The Millay Colony for the Arts, http://www.villamontalvo.org/artistresidency.html - Villa Montalvo, http://www.ucrossfoundation.org/index1.html - The Ucross Foundation, among others. He runs http://www.paxrecordings.com/ - Pax Recordings record label which is dedicated to the documentation, preservation, and contagion of music from the margins of our culture and psyches. He lives in San Francisco with the filmmaker/video artist http://www.paxrecordings.com/marjoriesturm - Marjorie Sturm and their son. -------------
