    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 Five new releases of interest

  • October 26, 2011
  • by Charles Shriner
  • · Uncategorized

Five new releases for your aural pleasure. Different styles, different artists, different labels. Imaginative, well crafted, well executed music. Images and project names will link to the music.

Skiks  (Bruce Hamilton) – compulse

“compulse” is a collection of (mostly) pulse-driven microtonal/xenharmonic tracks produced in 2010-2011. Tunings are often mixed, producing a kind of heterophonous pitch space; other times one tuning or scale is explored with focus. The track list is designed for album style listening.

 

 

 

 

Emerald Adrift (David Herpich) – Within the Purple Forbidden

This set was recorded live at the Kansas City Electro-Music Festival on Friday, July 23, 2010 and is full of surprises. Most notable about this release is Emerald Adrift’s unique ability to transition effortlessly from one genre to another so smoothly. This longform live set glides from spacious piano ambience with jazz and classical influences, to celestial night-sky space music, to experimental terrain that recalls Morton Subotnick and some of the early sounds of electronic music. This is an album to get lost in. A powerful sonic experience that never overly indulges in sounds, leaving just enough space for a wonderfully introspective journey.

Artist Website: Emerald Adrift

Jack Hertz – Artificial

Artificial is a collection of 16 cyberpunk inspired works between music and noise. Roaming electronic styles from ambient to experimental to psychedelic krautrock . Mystical and yet full of life organic musical movement by Jack Hertz. This release as Jack wrote : is focused on using the studio to explore surreal sonic spaces that feel natural and artificial at the same time .

 

 

 

 

 

jmtta (Jason Breitigan) – about an ocean

a collection of sounds and textures that willingly surrender themselves to the tiny corners of your speakers, and reside there as whispers and dust.

— Delicate, thoughtful, “lower-case” soundscapes.

 

 

 

 

Shane Morris – Complex Silence

Shane presents four minimal pieces that can only be described as lush and gorgeous. Bell-like sounds and electric piano predominate, but to say that is at once a contradiction. Listen deeply and then listen even more deeply. You’ll hear reversed drones, floating tones, washes of faraway sounds, hints of melodies, echoes and reverbs adding space and immensity to an overall ambience and drifting quality, yet each track is intense and focused.

Four tracks of pure, ambient complexity. An October treat for your ears and for your mind.

0 50th episode of Music from last Thursday

  • September 1, 2011
  • by Charles Shriner
  • · Uncategorized

Well it’s hard to believe but tonight from 20:00 – 22:00 EDT will be the 50th live broadcast of Music from last Thursday (MflT) on electro-music.com/radio.

Every Thursday night the members of Faux Pas Quartet (Aaron Urbanski, Charles Shriner, Duncan Putman, Jen Schmetzer) gather together and share a wonderful meal – cooked by my partner Burt Woodruff – wine, conversation and whatever with friends before moving into the studio space and making bleepy, blurpy, glitchy music for a few hours. Nerd Hop! So as you may have suspected there is a party going on here at the house at the same time you folks are having a party and listening.

To celebrate our Nerd Hop milestone we will be featuring some personal music by each of the members of Faux Pas Quartet AND we are happy to announce the new Faux Pas Quartet web site… but wait there’s more… the new release by Faux Pas Quartet “MflT Favorites Vol. 1; I’ve read about such things.” The release is a free down load. Get it here! We will be closing the show with a recording of Richard Lainhart live at the Allfa Art Gallery 4-9-11. Hope you are able to tune in and join us in chat.

Many thanks to all the musicians whose Creative Commons music we play between improvisations as well as the musicians who sit in and make music with us. Super thanks to Burt, April and Matt.

Most of all thanks to all the listeners and especially  the wonderful electro-music.com community for giving us the opportunity to do the show every week. It’s been a great experience and we are looking forward to the next 50 episodes!

Cheers

0 Stillstream & electro-music.com news

  • August 8, 2011
  • by Charles Shriner
  • · Uncategorized

Below is an announcement posted on Stillstream listeners by Shane Morris  9:20am Aug 8, 2011 re: Stillstream radio and electro-music.com

Greetings all!
As you all likely know by now, Stillstream has a new home and is in no jeopardy of closing. Now the work begins! We almost immediately started the process of transferring Stillstream over to the electro-music.com server and have been running since we hit the ground.

As we make this historic transition over the next few weeks, I must request one thing. Please be patient with us as we switch things over, develop our working plan, and generally figure out what we are doing next. We are sailing uncharted waters at this point and we are just taking it day by day, issue by issue right now. Please remember that Stillstream actually was closing, but at a near 11th hour, we came up with a way to preserve the station. Thus, we did not have any plan before, we are somewhat improvising now, and we are doing the best we can to make this transition as smooth as possible.

Submissions for music to Stillstream radio are currently closed as we make the transition. We are literally moving the entire stillstream library and public archive (trust me its large), and adding to it right now is not a good option until we are re-organized on the other side of this move.
The Stillstream you know and love will continue to look and operate in much the same way as it has been. We are not going to “re-invent the wheel” here for the station. However, as with all things in life, there will be some changes to come. Don’t expect these to be dramatic changes, but do expect that things are going to morph a bit as Stillstream and electro-music join forces.

We are getting an abundance of email from all sectors of people related to Stillstream and I want to say thank you to everyone for their concern, interest, and passion for this unique station. Many questions simply cannot be answered presently at this time, and I personally would rather not speculate on things. Please remember that stillstream was essentially a one-man show with Darrell and making executive decisions was relatively easy for him. Stillstream is now a team of people (yes it takes 3 normal humans to equal one Darrell Burgan) and as we refine and define the direction of the station we will be sure to keep everyone posted.

There has also specifically been numerous questions regarding the Stillstream repository of music. At this point, we are examining the legal ramifications of the current operation and weighing out the pros and cons and it’s effects on the new owners. Things may change. Things may not change. That is all I can reasonably say at this time. As soon as we have made a decision, I will be sure to let you know. However, I do want to say that Creative Commons licensed music is the heart of Stillstream radio and will continue to compose a strong core of the station. Again, please be patient with us as we work out these issues.

In the meantime, please continue to enjoy the wonderful programming at Stillstream radio, the terrific live shows, downloads from our public archive, and great conversation in the Stillstream chatroom. Good things to come!

Oh…and one last final note, Wally is doing fine. He is happy about moving to a new home and is excited about making friends with the other bots at electro-music.com.

Onward!!!

Shane Morris
