New Media Arts Manila (NMAM) presented its second offering on January 2, 2008 at Club Dredd in Eastwood another packed crowd of sound-art enthusiasts, who braved New Year hangovers and the ever present possibility of permanent hearing damage to watch another installment of the sound-art showcase called THE ELECTROSTATIC SOUND CONFERENCE. This time around, the show featured Filipino-Canadian guitarist Maggot Breeder (left); Lirio Salvador and Jonjie Ayson of Elemento playing Lirio’s chome-plated alienware; the Trojan Whores; and Ugong. In addition, The Children of Cathode Ray performed live soundtracks for the experimental films /mutation (pronounced “permutation”) by Tad Ermitano, and Ink and Lizard, two classic films by 
Roxlee, the godfather of Philippine Experimental Film. NMAM performances are supported by: Globe, Sony Ericsson, Intel, Microsoft, Asus, and Behringer. The next NMAM performance will be in April 2008.
