    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 release from remst8 & dRachEmUsiK

  • December 30, 2014
  • by Charles Shriner
  • · dRachEmUsiK · Performance

 

 

 

 

 

 

a3829785242_10
“Bluestones” is the culmination of dRachEmUsiK (Charles Shriner, Indianapolis, IN) and remst8 (Michael Carlson / Olathe, KS) embarking on a weekend-long adventure in collaborative sound design and music improvisation. This journey began with a strategy to record a series of brief lowercase “micro-compositions”, which would then be woven together into a longer tapestry.

This strategy became obsolete almost immediately.

As sound palettes were created, the duo quickly realized that brief pieces would not provide enough breathing room. Instead, each one was allowed to grow organically from the sounds used—a collection of analog synthesis, digital soft synths, and sample manipulation—fueled by collaborative experimentation.
The end result is a lovely mix of ambient, drone and lowercase soundscapes.

0 Glowing Men by Angry Red Planet

  • August 19, 2014
  • by Charles Shriner
  • · MCSD Studio & NetLabel

arp_glowing

MCSD NetLabel is proud to announce
Glowing Men
by
Angry Red Planet

Indianapolis, IN based Angry Red Planet consists of Joe Howard (keyboards, guitar), Simon Howard (keyboards, guitar) and Mark McCleerey (percussion). They formed in 2012 as a merging and continuation of previous projects. Their music is a beguiling, frequency-defying combination of synthesizer textures, edgy percussion and arcane spoken-word fragments.

Particularly striking is their conflation of compelling melodies and sweet tones with unapologetically gritty noise. Their album Glowing Men is a collection of what are essentially well crafted songs, albeit without singing. But the album is also a fascinating journey through lovingly constructed sonic architecture – angry indeed at times, but often playful as well, and in any case a trip worth taking again and again.

Buy the 16 track download and get a bonus track featuring cEvin Key.

“Lulling at times but literarily delightful, “Thunder” melds electronica distress and bliss beautifully.”
–Ben Speggen, Erie Reader 4 stars

“These are depths to be plumbed in close listens. There’s a lot happening and a ton of feeling lacing through the mix. onewayness and dRachEmUsiK (aka Adam Holquist and Charles Shriner) expertly manage this tenuous juggling act well, effecting the balance between easy and difficult listening. The Sound of Thunder is a disc you need to go into with an open mind.
Do so, and it will likely win you over quickly.”
— John Shanahan, Hypnagogue Reviews
