Mobilization Records, 1999

TARGODIE is an experimental sound project by San Francisco sound artist Scot Jenerik, and bamboo/electronics parts sculptor Larnie Fox. The soundscapes range from atmospheric bliss to penetrating noize. The sound is similar to a more aggressive and percussive Zoviet France.

Larnie Fox is a visual and sound artist known for paintings, monumental bamboo sculpture, sound art, sound installations and performances. His kinetic/sound sculpture and paintings have been shown in one-person shows at The Lab, The Richmond Art Center and The Randall Museum, and in numerous group shows and performances in the SF Bay Area and Salt Lake City, Utah. He was commissioned to create and burn a 20 ft. bamboo and muslin windmill at Burning Man 1997, and there he made and flew a bamboo airplane in 1998 with his wife Bodil. Other Collaborations with Bodil have included set design and construction for Theatre of Yugen's "Cycle Plays" at Theatre Artaud, a giant kinetic dragonfly for the DuPage Museum near Chicago, and "Time Sensitive Materials" at Cricket Engine in Oakland, CA. He directs the Crank Ensemble, a fourteen-member group that performs on hand-cranked instruments built by Larnie.

Scot Jenerik is a conceptual artist who primarily works with the mediums of sound, fire, performance and instrument building. He has performed and lectured extensively in the United States, Europe and Japan, and has produced multiple internationally distributed audio and video works. He is a co-founder of 23five Incorporated, a non-profit arts organisation dedicated to the development and increased awareness of sound works in the public arena.
