  • 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.

Back in Indy after a 3 week East Coast tour for the dRachEmUsiK and onewayness collaboration “The Sound of Thunder”. dRachEmUsiK is the solo project of award winning electronic musician, instrumentalist, sound designer and producer Charles Shriner. The current sound of dRachEmUsiK has been described as “glitch-groove ambient beats with a strong modal jazz influence mixed with micro-tonal improvisations”. Simple melodies swirling in mixed tempos and undulating textures. Dense, eclectic, erotic, evocative, emotional, spontaneous and sometimes noisy.

David Peck
http://davidpeck.bandcamp.com/

dpeck
David Peck is a hybrid entity, striking a balance between synthetic electronics & organic recordings, composition & improvisation, and musicality & sound design. Not referencing any one specific genre or influence, David Peck carves out his own corner in the realm of atmospheric electronic music. Emotive, but still groovy. Thoughtful, but with bounce. Ethereal tones meeting earthy textures.

SoundKraft
http://www.facebook.com/soundkraftband
soundkraft
Soundkraft is an Electronic/Techno band that started in 1996 with two brothers, Mike and Steve. In the vain of the greats like Kraftwerk, Soundkraft is pushing the electronic music genre in new and exciting directions.

 

Faux Pas Quartet
http://www.fauxpasquartet.com

02_fpq_jason_10-11
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 shared conscious reality. The music is soothing, agitating, floating, rhythmic, funny, scary, sad, angry, melodic and atonal – aka ‘nerd hop. Relax, open up and take the time to flow with the music. Above all, give yourself permission to explore the irrational.
