Heroine




HEROINE are Dan Gitlin and Joan Hacker.

HEROINE is a Brooklyn-based improvisational electronic noise duo consisting of Joan Hacker (Factoria) and Dan Gitlin (4th Sign of the Apocalypse.) HEROINE takes an “arc” based approach to structured improv, using a variety of digital and analog gear, both off-the-rack and homemade. Joan Hacker performs using a combination of vocals, guitar, and a unique home-brewed system of multiple cassette tapes pre-recorded using a homemade oscillator, found sounds and recorded acoustic sounds. Dan Gitlin uses guitar, Chapman Stick and iPad-based synth apps as tone generators to create and manipulate soundscapes and loops in real time, as well as play the occasional melody.
