  • electro-music festivalcollage-3

    For over a decade, people have gathered together to listen to and perform experimental electronic and electro-acoustic music, to swap gear and ideas, and to find like-minded life-long friends under the umbrella of electro-music.com. These gatherings have fostered an eclectic and diverse community of musicians and makers, improvisers and composers, amateurs and academics. The strangest thing about the electro-music community? That this might be the first time you’ve ever heard of it.

    For the past six years, the annual electro-music festival has been held in Huguenot, NY. As of the last day of 2016’s electro-music festival, the upstate New York days have been uploaded to the archive.

    ELECTRO MUSIC IS MOVING TO THE MIDWEST

    2017 will be the first e-m held in Indianapolis, Indiana. August 4-6 (instead of MEME, the Midwest Electro-Music Experience).
    The Irving Theater will host experimental musicians from the United States and all over the world.
    This year’s lineup includes but is not limited to 44 performances, 70+ musicians, and 5 video artists.

    Irvington is home to a variety of culinary options from handcrafted pizzas to Mexican seafood to caribbean cuisine.
    Additionally Sun King beer and nonalcoholic beverages will be available for purchase at the show.

vol 1 cover
vol 1 inner

The last 6 years have been all about live improvisation for me. I finally came to the realization I will never take the time to recreate studio versions of the music.
Musically, I’m changing directions and it was important to document the period between 2011-2017. The plan is two release Vol. 3 & 4 in March. The recordings are unedited. Download includes album art, formatted and suitable for CD creation.
The music is free to download. Please consider making a donation.

As always, thanks for your support!

1 Week 1 of new dRachEmUsiK music

  • May 19, 2017
  • by Charles Shriner
  • · Blog · dRachEmUsiK

Today marks the end of the first week of actual work on the new dRachEmUsiK release. I’ve been contemplating this music and improvising for almost a year and it’s exciting to actually begin the process of bringing it to life.
Right now it’s all about core sound design for the instruments. My primary sources for the sound design are coming from what I call my “textural workstation” (first image below) which consists of four MarSynths, horndog, MFOS Sound Lab, and Koma electroacoustic field kit and my live performance rig (second image). It’s been slow going but that’s to be expected.

IMG_5786

The sound design and instrumentation is particularly challenging for this music because I’m creating the music for real time, multi-speaker performance consisting of 16 discreet channels and 16 speakers. So I’m bouncing back and forth between sound design, composition and experimenting with the arrangement of speakers, routing and instrument placement within the speaker array.
More as things progress. Hope to have some audio examples next week.

Peace
