SAFETY SCISSORS (live PA & DJ set) BEN NEVILE (live PA) with support from Dj Irix Visual Art provided by Evans pHarmanaut Decorations by Angelina & Melissa WHERE: Trilogy Wine Bar 2017 13th Street Boulder Colorado WHEN: Friday November 18th 2005 9pm - 2am HOW: $10 cover, 21+ http://lunarlodge.org http://trilogywinebar.com ALSO YOU DON"T WANT TO MISS: An insightful Max/Msp/Jitter presentation from Safety Scissors, Ben Nevile and Evans Hankey! WHEN: Friday November 18th 2005 @ 3pm (same day as show at Trilogy) WHERE: Sturm Hall 281 DU Campus, Denver HOW: Free and open to the public This is part of the A:D:A:P:T visiting artist series generously supported by the Marsico Initiative & Digital Media Studies at U of Denver Here is more information on the participating artists: Safety Scissors: ---------------- A picture of his then-present girlfriend adorned with gag-store glasses, brandishing a pair of children's scissors, this token of good luck followed Mr. Matthew Patterson Curry everywhere when he started DJing. Cutting his teeth as a weekly resident of San Francisco's Static club - and Surrounded by the likes of Kit Clayton, Sutekh, Twerk, Kid 606, and Matmos - MPC was provided with musical support and inspiration for first forays into production. Under his Safety Scissors moniker his first records were logically lumped into what was referred to, at least by German patrons, as "SF Laptop Techno". In May of 2000 at the very first Mutek Festival, Safety Scissors bashfully debuted his singing and electronic music in a live context. The dimly-lit dub-tinged techno pop was culled into Plug Research album Parts Water, which received wads of international praise. But it wasn't until a move back to San Francisco at the end of 2003 that MPC was able to focus on finishing the nearly completed songs on Tainted Lunch, his second full-length album. Always seeking to mix obscure new influences and inspirations (The Shaggs, Joe Meek, Emil Richards, Franco Battiato, Les Paul, Raymond Scott) along with the more familiar (Yello, Talking Heads, New Order and the more comtemporary Magnetic Fields) Tainted Lunch features a more refined approach to his angular pop attempts. His non-singer singing is more present and the structures echo radio friendly tunes as he enlists musical help from friends Kevin Blechdom, Francoise Cactus, and Erlend &Oslash;ye. See a live PA and DJ set from Safety Scissors at Trilogy this Friday, Nov. 18th. with visual artist Evans! http://www.discogs.com/artist/Safety+Scissors http://www.proptronix.com http://www.scape-music.de http://www.context.fm/artists_safety.html http://www.plugresearch.com/safety.htm Ben Nevile: ----------- Ben lives in Vancouver, Canada, where he produces music in Open Space studios on Main Street. In addition to developing software for Cycling '74, he produces a suave, gently euphoriant music that could only come from Vancouver's mix of futurism and natural beauty. In addition to his 3 EPs on Telegraph, he has also made music for Context (the label of Sutekh), Orac, Background, Nordic Trax and Mosaic (the label of Steve O&rsquo;Sullivan). Far from the bland experiments of some techno artists, the music of Ben Nevile is accessible, fresh, groovy, yet subtle and detailed. With its rustle of trees, lapping of waves and singing of birds, Ben places each sound and sequence to increase the feelings of the listener. An impeccable touch, a postcard of sound that encourages a good mood.

Trace's net.art and audio works may be found at Electronic Book Review, Stasis_Space, DJRabbi.com, on several microsound.org compilations, and The Communications of Tomorrow label. His imaginary score to Philip K. Dick's last novel, Radio Free Albemuth, is out on the Sine Fiction label. Digital video work includes Trace's collaboration with Mark Amerika and Rick Silva of the DJ Rabbi collective to produce the "Society of the Spectacle (A Digital Remix)". The "SOS" video debuted as part of the 2004 Biennale de Paris onboard the Batofar and has since screened at over 30 international venues including New York, Bilbao, Glasgow, Eindhoven, Berlin, London, Zurich, Seoul, and Hong Kong. Trace curated the monthly visualsoundings series of electronic music at Denver&rsquo;s Museum of Contemporary Art (2002-3). He also founded Denver&rsquo;s first digital media festival, A:D:A:P:T, in Spring 2003, and co-founded the first University of Denver Media Festival in February 2004.

The Irix persona is coming out of retirement to drop us a very special set of the latest in impossible-to-find london-town dubstep and grime records. When not arguing on the mtn-raves list, trolling for japanese video loops on bittorrent or getting VST plugins to run under linux, Wally does systems hacking and engineering for Cycling '74.
