The performance ended slightly early when a tire rim flew somewhere in the welding facility causing a circuit breaker to go. Infrastructure and Avtomat both had stunning debut performances and Negative Time warped their environment effectively even with the temporary absence of Greg Greg. Plastic Razor Protector and Undo collaborated in the lower level constructing beautiful and warped ambient noise atmospheres. Spare Parts conducted another noise appearance under the battery cage. Video projection and art was provided by the infamous Frank Cazzazza. Voidstar Artists were unfortunately absent from the third segment of the Cyber-Ramma festival but have also heard good reviews of the performers and artists who contributed to that evening.

Zero Times Infinity's first performance at the Mobius along with Asmodeus Specter, Plastic Razor Protector, rosS Hamlin, The Very, Songs Of Silt and video art by the one and only Dr T. This show was also the introduction of the latest addition to Zero Times Infinity, the infamous Zipper Spy. The night was broken into 10 minute performances followed by 20 minute collaborations and finally a Catastrophe Orchestra like performance featuring everyone. The 10 minute set breezed through old ideas and new elements rapidly with Zipper Spy adding to the energy and possibilities. Television, cd-r manipulation and a metal sheet used for floor protection and percussion were new elements used in this performance as well as some new visual elements implemented by Zipper Spy. The 20 minute set involved a collaborations with Asmodeus Specter and Plastic Razor Protector and opened the doors for the artists in every other project to jump in until the noise was reminiscent of the first Catastrophe Orchestra performance. This show was very well organized by one David Kirkdorffer and Open FauceT productions. Zero Times Infinity performers were Deftly-D and Zipper Spy.

ZTI did an eclectic set including a surprise rear assault on the audience by Deftly-D with angle grinder on a metal rack discarded the previous week and another invitation for the crowd to wreak havok on stage (more rhythm , more people, and less injuries this time). Zero Times Infinity performers were Deftly-D and Hex.

Sat Jan 16th 1999:

ZERO TIMES INFINITY PUBLIC EXPERIMENT #21. Live performance at the Portland Maine Fine Arts Cinema (formerly the old porno theater). One of the best environments ZTI has experienced yet. Featuring performances by Crank Sturgeon, Beaulieau, Zipperspy, Sickness, Lesser, The Toneburst Collective, Flux, Cathode, Mocha, and so many more. Deftly-D was credited with stage design for the noise side of the show and although performances by Ennui, Ukuphambana and Nau-Zee-Aun did not occur as scheduled, the crowd was still satisfied with the most destructive ZTI performance to date (including the decapitation of a microphone, sparks shot obliviously into the nearby crowd, and accidental sawing through the line to the mixing board as part of the equipment casualties). New instruments included a grinder (first stage use of power tools) and a shopping cart found in the aisles of the theater. Line up included Hex and Deftly-D. We are hoping to get video footage from part of this performance.

Sat Jan 16th 1999:

ZERO TIMES INFINITY PUBLIC EXPERIMENT #20. Return to RRRecords. RRRon said this was the best set he had heard ZTI do to date. An uncut recording of this set is under consideration to be released as a full cd. More info to come. Line up included Ennui, Hex and Deftly-D.
