    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 Faux Pas Quartet Release

  • January 16, 2012
  • by Charles Shriner
  • · Blog · MCSD Studio & NetLabel

MCSD NetLabel is happy to announce the new five song, 52 min. release by Faux Pas Quartet “MflT Favorites Vol. 2; That’s not music!” #nerdhop

Faux Pas Quartet has performed live improvisations on the streaming radio and podcast “Music from last Thursday” (MflT) on radio.electro-music.com for more then fifty-eight episodes at the time of this release.
“MflT Favorites Vol. 2; That’s not music!” contains fifty-six minutes of the fifty plus hours of music that has been created during the show to date. Including a track with guest “lower case” artist jmtta.
Podcasts of MflT are available for download at www.mflt.info or iTunes – search “Music from last Thursday”.
Faux Pas Quartet is a free form improvisation ensemble whose sole purpose is the spontaneous expression of the unconscious.
The resulting music, quite literally, comes from the same stuff of which dreams are made.  Archetypes of the psyche rising unfettered through the medium of the unconscious and becoming manifest in the share conscious reality.
The music is soothing, agitating, floating, rhythmic, funny, scary, sad, angry, melodic and atonal.
Relax, open up and take the time to flow with the music. Above all, give your self permission to explore the irrational.

Aaron Urbanski: Keyboards, controllers, soft-synths and processing
Charles Shriner: Various controllers, Electronic Wind Instrument, soft-synths and processing
Duncan Putman: Electric Bass and processing
Jen Schmetzer: Voice and processing
Featured guest, jmtta: controllers and soft-synths
