SAVE THE DATE! TELL YOUR FRIENDS!
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.
The Irving Theater
5505 East Washington St
Indianapolis, IN 46219
August 4-6, 2017
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.
Stay tuned for more info as things develop!

He has been residing in the USA since 1994 and is currently based in Easton, PA.Since the late 1990s, Mr. Nakatani has released over sixty recordings in the USA and Europe and has performed countless solo percussion concerts through intensive touring. He has also collaborated with hundreds of other artists internationally and presented masterclasses, workshops and lectures across the USA and around the world.
Nakatani’s approach to music is visceral, non-linear and intuitively primitive, expressing an unusually strong spirit while avoiding any categorization. He creates sound via both traditional and extended percussion techniques… which manifest in an intense and organic music that represents a very personal sonic world.
Adam Riviere, world percussionist, audio engineer and composer boasts over 25 years of experience, 13 published albums and numerous collaborations. Riviere began playing the piano at the age of ten, which led to a love of percussion and throughout the years that followed, he studied more than 30 world instruments. His music sounds as unique as the instruments he plays. Styles he performs and infuses during his performances include Middle Eastern, African, Classical, Celtic, Latin/Afro-Cuban, Caribbean, Native American, and Electro Acoustic World Ambient Trance. Riviere’s love for culture and music can be heard in his performances, displaying how different cultures and mediums of music can make one great sound.

Veronica Pejril is a composer and multi-keyboardist from Greencastle, Indiana, where she teaches digital musicianship and computer music at DePauw University. An alumna of the University of Illinois Experimental Music Studios and Princetonís computer music lab, she was an early explorer into the intersections of MIDI and sound synthesis. She continues to explore non-traditional uses of human/computer interfaces for musical expression.
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.

Kelly Sheets on moogs, seuqencing, and other digital synths, vocals.

Surrealestate enjoys playing Old School Berlin using restored Moog vintage synths and other vintage equipment collected over the years. When required, styles include upbeat techno, psychill, ambient, and trance. Lighting and stage props are occasionally utilized to add to the experience.
Faux Pas Quartet
http://www.fauxpasquartet.com
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.

Aaron Urbanski: Keyboards / soft synths / controllers
Jen Schmetzer: Vocals / sampler / effects
Duncan Putman: Bass / effects / dogs
