    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.

Started moving gear into the new studio tonight! There is still some minor finishing work to be done but I’m able to finalize equipment placement and begin acoustic treatment. The plan is to be back up and running in two weeks. Just in time to start a couple of cool gigs I can’t talk about yet… doh! Gotta say I’m jonesin’ to get back to work and reclaim the rest of the house – which is currently in utter chaos.
Thanks Matt Allen and Pat Sullivan for all the help!
Jimmy, Jim and Eddy at Wildwood Builders have done a fantastic job!
More pics as things progress.

0 MCSD Studio Construction Update

  • September 3, 2015
  • by Charles Shriner
  • · Blog · MflT playlists

Lots of progress on the new studio and wanted to share the news. I know in the last post I said the next post will be when the space is finished but I’m excited damn it!

Electrical work is finished and Heating and Cooling is being installed today. The new windows will be installed next Monday and the drywall will go up on Tuesday. The built in cabinets and storage area will be finished tomorrow along with the rest of the insulation. Everything is still on schedule to have the space finished, painted and carpet installed on Sept. 14th! Wooohooooo! The folks at Wildwood Builders are amazing.

0 MCSD Studio & NetLabel relocation and remodel

  • August 28, 2015
  • by Charles Shriner
  • · Blog · MflT playlists

background

I’ve worked from home for 25 years. It’s been great and I wouldn’t even consider moving to a location outside the home however there are trade-offs. One of those trade-offs is the household wide disruption that takes place when it’s time to upgrade – or in this case – move and remodel the studio. C-H-A-O-S.

For the 3 1/2 years we’ve lived in Irvington Court Cooperative, the studio has been in the basement. It’s been a great space and home for dRachEmUsiK, Faux Pas Quartet, Music from last Thursday, numerous collaborations, Mastering and commercial projects.

And the basement leaked.

Goodbye basement!
Goodbye basement

After the incessant torrential rains this year we said enough is enough.
Ugh, this meant distributing my instruments and gear around the house to make room for all the “stuff” that was living in the attic. I set up an interim busy-ness space in Burt’s office and he set up a temporary work are in the living room. So yea, the house in in utter chaos. On the up-side, the cats are absolutely loving all the new stacks, boxes, nooks and crannies to explore.

Our friend Jimmy Cahil at Wildwood Builders but together a great plan to remodel the attic and they began demolition and construction last week. I’m amazed at the amount of progress they have made and super happy with the quality of the work! They have this week off for vacation so things have been quiet. But we did get the space measured, carpet ordered, diffusers and sound treatment ordered, HVAC install measurements taken, recessed lighting, new switch box and ethernet cable all arrived. So in spite of the lack of construction the project is still moving along. Wildwood will resume construction this coming Monday and expect to have the space completely finished by September 14th. It will be a great space! Right now I’m in a state of disbelief at how wonderful the studio will be.
Here are some pictures of the space currently. Next post will be when the new space is ready for move in!
