Profile

Although born a "commie" Agnes was given a microphone and recording device at age 4, and recorded many great hits throughout her childhood. In Junior High she took up the cello and played in super geeky orchestras all the way through college. She was also always interested in photography and received a film and video degree from Northwestern University in Evanston, IL.

Although she changes monikers like underwear, Agnes has been producing electronic music and visuals in the Bay Area for the past 6 years. She has been teaching media arts at Ex'pression College for Digital Arts for the past 5 years, as well as running a business and doing freelance media work. She self-released an album in 2002 as well as producing some music for a dance troop named Capacitor. Over the last two years she has coupled with Abe Dichi to make some "comfort food," and they have been playing out live. Agnes has also been doing VJ gigs for the past two years.

This year she released a full-length DVD of her own audio/visual work, as well as featuring three songs on a compilation named Konstrukt ions. Most recently Agnes has started an M.F.A. program in Electronic Music at Mills College. This fall, winter, and spring she performed at multiple events as "aggiflex" doing both visuals and playing music, as well as putting on a series of events herself. In November she performed at San Francisco's first all-female electronic music festival: Estrogenesis. This spring she presented "inhabitants," a site-specific installation involving projected video, water, and audio at the Mills Signal Flow Festival. Agnes' work varies from experimental code-writing to makin' beats. Agnes hopes to continue performing and making new exciting interactions between her music, movement and video.
