  • 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.

0 New embral live release

  • July 18, 2020
  • by Charles Shriner
  • · Blog · embral

In June 2019, embral played a short 4-date mini-tour in support of our new release, Deep State. At each show on this tour, we played abbreviated versions of both album pieces, separated by an extended improvisation. This release represents the highlights of those improvisations, and serves as a companion piece to Deep State.

Recorded live June 20-23, 2019 at Playground Productions (Indianapolis, IN); Monk’s Kaffee Pub (Dubuque, IA); Rozz-Tox (Rock Island, IL); and the Way Out Club (St. Louis, MO)

0 New embral live release

  • August 16, 2018
  • by Charles Shriner
  • · Blog · embral · Performance

When embral (Adam Holquist and I) went on the road last November, our intention was to play no existing music, and to essentially treat the tour as a mobile R&D lab for the next studio release, recording every night and seeing which bits began to take shape.
This is not the next studio release. This is a ‘calling card’. It gives some hints at where the new music is heading, without (we hope) giving away too much.

Speaking of “the next studio release”, the music for the new studio release has been recorded and I’m in the process of mixing and mastering it. The plan is to get the music out in the Fall with a support tour in November.

In the mean time, enjoy a very cold night in Kansas City.
THIS WAY FORWARD:

D. Miñoza & dRachEmUsiK will be at Elder Brew tonight.
12-14-2017, 8pm, 24 6th St., Bristol, TN

Guitarist D.Miñoza https://dminoza.wordpress.com/ is a sound artist working primarily in the areas of drone, noise, minimalism and free improvisation.
“Deep, majestic sound design combines with eerie drones and what I can only describe as esoteric melodies, forming a moody yet beautiful sonic melange.”
-Darrel Burgan (StillStream Net Radio)

dRachEmUsiK http://drachemusik.com/
dRachEmUsiK combines a plethora of nuanced techniques in order to create groovy and meditative soundscapes; giving structure to improvisation.
This style manifests itself into an organic and natural composition of a free flowing design resulting in improvisations and structured pieces ranging from ambient to glitch-groove, noise to nujazz.

1 dRachEmUsiK 2017 Live Rig

I'm super happy with the dRachEmUsiK live rig for 2017!

  • December 6, 2016
  • by Charles Shriner
  • · Blog · dRachEmUsiK · Performance

I’m super happy with the dRachEmUsiK live rig for 2017! The new iPad Pro is powerful enough to be able to handle hardware and virtual instruments and processing in real time without a laptop or external mixers. The entire rig can be carried on to an airplane and takes under 15 minutes to set up and break down. Amazing. Cables, DI are stored in the side pocket of the EWI case. All I need from the venue is a single mic stand.

Composition and Pre-production  work is being done mostly in Cosmosƒ Saturn and MetaSynth 
Hardware:
*iPad Pro, 128 GB
*Zoom U-44 Audio/MIDI Interface
*SoftStep and MIDI Expander
*EWI, analog output
*MarsSynth MSB2

Software:
*Kymatica AUM (mixer), Sector, AudioShare and AUFX
*ApeSoft processing
*LoopyHD
*Addictive Synth

0 Music for the Tacopocalypse

Tacopocalypse - Live improvisations by urbster1, dRachEmUsiK, onewyaness, jmtta

  • September 2, 2016
  • by Charles Shriner
  • · Blog · dRachEmUsiK · Performance

 

300x300

SOMEHOW I figured now was a good time to get the Tacopocalypse music out into the universe.
Tacopocalypse was recorded on 5-19-2012 at Bela Dubby in Lakewood, OH. Bela Dubby was a wonderful art, music, food venue that closed the day after this recording. It was replaced by a Taco place. At some point during the night the closing of Bela Dubby was referred to as The Tacopocalypse.
The two tracks on the release are group improvisations done by Aaron Urbanski aka urbster1, Adam Holquist aka onewayness, Charles Shriner aka dRachEmUsiK and Jason Breitigan aka jmtta.
This is a free download.

New Release: Mirrors to the Bonfire

onewayness + dRachEmUsiK Mirrors to the Bonfire Release Date: 08.29. 2016 onomastic records | MCSD NetLabel

onewayness + dRachEmUsiK
Mirrors to the Bonfire
Release Date: 08.29. 2016 onomastic records | MCSD NetLabel
mirrors_image

Mirrors to the Bonfire, the latest collaboration from the critically acclaimed duo of onewayness (Adam Holquist/Erie, PA) and dRachEmUsiK (Charles Shriner/Indianapolis, IN), replaces the exuberance and emotional optimism of their last full-length, 2014’s Immeasurable, with emotional ambiguity and complexity, swapping comfort and joy for unsettling, but ultimately rewarding, drama and melancholy.

Mirrors to the Bonfire is a series of meditations on human feedback and the powers of interpersonal interaction. The three long tracks sculpt a polished narrative of conflict and resolution that cycles in and out of warm nostalgia and dark, uncharted territory. Dark analog drones and electroacoustic concrète clatter give way to extended melodic duo explorations for acoustic guitar & electronic wind instrument.

Mirrors to the Bonfire is available as a physical CD or digital download from onomastic records and MCSD NetLabel
