January: Shows of interest to Portland, OR regional listmembers. If you have
questions, email paul@archigramophone.com. Shows hosted by omco & friends at
The Blackbird (www.theblackbird.org)
this Friday, Jan 11th, at The Blackbird, Portland
Solenoid (Portland- Outward Music Company, Emanate, Hiao Hiao Hiao)
Randy Jones (Seattle- ORAC label)
Catch-22 (Portland- Outward Music Company)
Solenoid is one of Portland's guru's of "freaky dance" music since at least
1989. He's had a busy year culminating in the release of
three very great full-lengths. hopefully for this live set he'll be doing
some live improvisational
electro mixed with digital DJing and possibly a guest tag team on tabletop
gear from Portland compatriot, Strategy.
Randy Jones is ORAC label curator. Himself a software programmer, a member
of electronic ensemble Polar, and frequent contributor to Seattle's SIL2K
performance series (R.I.P.), Randy's set is sure to be powerbookariffic and
I've been told he uses a custom programmed tactex-type touch interface live.
a must see for those interested in the furthest fringes of
performance-oriented software synthesis.
Catch-22 is one of Omco's resident DJs, often veering towards electro as
well and hopefully doing one of his sets where he mixes sequences and
digital media with conventional records- his first DJ set in many months!
and sure to be off the hook.
Thursday, Jan 31st, at The Blackbird, Portland
Nice Nice (Portland- Archigramophone Recordings)
One Human Minute (Portland)
Supersprite (Portland- Audio Dregs)
Nice Nice are a guitar-drums duo - multiple lo-fi loop players and live
electronic percussion mix with the conventional instruments in a fully
melted (nonjuxtapositional) way. undescribable and not to be missed, this is
the kickoff for their jaunt down the west coast.
One Human Minute - a studio project making their live debut for the first
time after nearly 2 years of incubation. members of Momeraths/Strategy, this
duo makes deconstructionist rock music using bitcrunched guitars and basses
and a laptop. imagine improvisational punk smudged into a melodic,
impressionistic granular wash with only the occasional surfancing of the
submerged clangs.
Supersprite have a full-length forthcoming on Portland's up-and-coming Audio
Dregs label- take a serving of 90s underground ambient, update it
with a sense of abbreviation in the sounds and a sometimes-gnarly naturalism
and that's a good bet as to what Supersprite is up to lately.
