Mark Trayle presents Domestic Intelligence, an evening of sonic data mining. Bits and bytes are extracted from his laptop, from the internent, and maybe even your credit cards, then looped, mangled, twisted and reassembled into something like music.

Mark Trayle works in a variety of media including live electronic music, installations improvisation and compositions for wired chamber ensembles.

Recent projects include solo performances at MeX (Dortmund), Metronom (Barcelona) and ctrl-alt-repeat (Los Angeles), improvisations with Serge Baghdassarians & Boris Baltschun Toshi Nakamura, the Rova Saxophone Quartet, and Wadada Leo Smith, premieres of new pieces for Kammerensemble Neue Musik Berlin (inventionen_04) and Ensemble Mosaik and a reunion performance at DEAF 04 with The Hub.

He has been the subject of interviews and articles in Strumenti Musicali and Virtual (Italy), Keyboard and The Leonardo Music Journal (USA), and "Escape Velocity: Cyberculture at the End of the Century" (Grove/Atlantic). He has recorded for the Artifact, Atavistic, CRI, Inial, Elektra/Nonesuch, and Tzadik labels. He teaches in the Experimental Sound Practices program at the California Institute of the Arts School of Music.
