  • 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.

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.

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.
Downloads are available here

As always, thanks for your support!

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.
