THE PLOT
Early this spring, a motley crew of computer-savvy band nerds will
shoehorn themselves into an American made hatchback in search of minds
and asses to free. Calling themselves the fellowship of the glitch
our future politicians will travel the wide open road from cirrhosis to
tinnitus and back. Along the way, many new friends will be made, many
adventures will be had, and at some point a princess will be saved from
the clutches of some anthropomorphic turtle-beast that throws hammers
and possibly spits fire.
THE CAST
R_Garcia first began his affair with electronic music in 1991 by way of
an antiquated Commodore Amiga 500 computer and a handful of outdated
MIDI
gear. Five years later, he released his first cassette of songs know
only
as tracker demos and began to work his way through the blossoming
Miami
IDM scene, rubbing digital elbows with luminaries like Funkstorung,
Lusine
and Phoenecia. Eight years later, we find him tirelessly performing
throughout the United States -- releasing a series of critically
acclaimed
recordings along the way. With his venerable homespun label, Nophi
Recordings, Garcia has taken quite a foothold in IDM as he uses the
label
to showcase his own and others' talents. He also takes a role in
organizing
ezRPM, a weekly collective of electronic and experimental musicians and
DJs
with a large footprint on the thriving Orlando IDM map. Just shy of 27,
Garcia has already composed or performed with an impressive list of 45
musical projects, lending his multi-instrumental talent to several
albums,
movie scores, remixes and studio sessions -- a testament to his
prolificacy.
The Flashbulb is one of the many trade names of Benn Jordan, an
eccentric
and shockingly diverse recording artist that has dominated the
underground
of electronic music for years. Jordan was and is arguably a key figure
in
the job of redefining and pioneering new landmarks in computer-based
music,
and many listeners and artists agree that he is one of the most
talented
electronic musicians of the generation. Rather than aiming to make
strange
sounds, Jordan seems to base most his impressively large collection of
written material (a discography that surpasses 30 known releases as of
2003)
on the ingredients that make emotional and beautiful music. His
personality
seems as diverse as his music. In 1993 Jordan's first electronic
recordings
were only sold with supplements of LSD, he releases music under many
'secret aliases' that he refuses to publicly identify, he claims to
enjoy
writing music overnight in elevators, and he has most recently been
found
promoting controversial electronic music shows for a dog. Just as Benn
may
be the worst publicist in the world, his lacking qualities can be
easily
forgiven by his talents, be it in guitar playing, sitar playing,
computer
sequencing, or just plain raw talent. (from worldmixing.com)
Colour With Sound is the electronic namesake of the enigmatic and
passionate
composer Jeff Wagner. Jeff began his musical career like so many before
him:
in a garage band. It was the sweltering heat of the garage and endless
blows
to the hand by a pawnshop guitar which forged the steel of his razor
sharp
beats and harmonic hues. While technically a newbie to the electronic
scene,
Wagner exhibits a classiness in his compositions which is not readily
available
to those just getting started; this is largely due to his endless hours
perfecting his craft -- never releasing a note until completely
satisfied or
disgusted enough to let it go. An outline of his compositional muscle
is
available in the form of his 2003 self titled EP release on Nophi
recordings,
which seamlessly wanders the line between breakbeats, classical and
sprawling
drone-noise. Newer CWS tracks and recent performances hint at a bit of
an 80s
new-wave and electro resurgence, all the while maintaining his IDM
credibility
and pop sensibilities. His new release Harmonic Disturbance will be
available
by the time the tour begins.
