Colin
Asquith (b. 1978) is an audio visual artist living in Boston, Massachusetts,
who often works with music, sound, and video. He has worked under the pseudonym
"L. Contra" since 1998 on separate music and sound exploits. The
name itself is a Nintendo reference born out of improvisation with a Casio
keyboard. Colin mixes found sounds, noise, samples, synthesizers, and acoustic
instruments using tape recorders and computers. In 2003, his "X-Mas
in Roxbury" and "Winter Lives" albums were released on Villa
Magica Records, the project label of Swiss artists Sylvie Fleury and John
Armleder. In 2004, he was included in a double LP compilation put out by
Atlanta noise label Old Gold. Other music projects of his include: L. Contra
Band, Conquistador, Mastablasta, and the Arrangement. The last several years,
Colin has collaborated with artist Jennifer Schmidt on a series of videos,
including: "What's in a Name" (2001), "Scan-Tron" (2003),
"Letters in a Coma" (2004), and "Waterlogged" (2005).
“Wish You Were Here” represents the first time he has worked
with Terry Nauheim, and the first non-video based project with Jennifer
Schmidt. |
