    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.

0 2nd onewayness & dRachEmUsiK release

  • February 17, 2014
  • by Charles Shriner
  • · Blog · dRachEmUsiK · MCSD Studio & NetLabel

immeasurable_front_notext        immeasurable_back        2014-02-15 19.39.12
Adma Holquist (onewayness) and I finished the music for our most recent collaboration, Immeasureable last night.
I’m very happy with the music! Hopefully, I’ll have the final mixes done this week. The music is similar to our first collaboration, The Sound of Thunder in that it incorporates elements of drone and ambient. However Immeasurable is more tonal, percussive and integrates acoustic instruments like guitar and shrudi box with the electronic instruments.
The music is based on the brahmavihāras (the four immeasurables) which are a series of four Buddhist virtues and the meditation practices made to cultivate them. By the time Monday comes around we will have created our new release The Immeasureables made up of four pieces. Loving kindness – metta. Compassion – karuna. Empathetic joy – mudita. Equanimity – upekkha.
