this week we are are happy to welcome:
SAFETY SCISSORS (live)
TERSO (live)
KFO (dj set)
here's a little about the performers.....
SAFETY SCISSORS (plug research, force inc.)
The boundary between 'artist' and 'geek' is fine, yet frequently unacknowledged or concealed by overzealous intellectuals. MPC (i.e., Safety Scissors) does little to hide his social awkwardness in the quirky techno he produces and performs. If anything, he would rather admit to being a geek than to being an 'artist' or a 'musician'. Anonymity is much more interesting. Although he is the ultimate dork debonair, MPC does not over-obsess with the computing process. Singing on his latest works for Force Tracks and Plug Research, MPC experiments with camp techno. He uses these vocal elements on his Debut album Parts Water for Plug Research Records. MPC has an abstract and clumsy approach to making music and distinguishes himself from the intellectualism of abstract/minimal techno. The proud drop-out of the art school establishment pursues neither expressions of unmediated human feeling found in Abstract Expressionism or regimented lines of stucture in minimalism. Rather, with subtlety and
smoothness, he references both in his unique sense of sarcasm
TERSO (thermal recordings SEA)
Chicago native Ephraim Alexander moved to Seattle in 1998 and has been establishing himself as one of the more daring live producers our city has seen. Signed to Oakland's Thermal Recordings as Terso, his productions imbibe dark, intriguing strains of techno,drum 'n' bass, and abstract breakbeat. Intricately programmed, Terso's music captures a cinematic expansiveness that should have Hollywood directors ringing his telly in due time. Terso's been spending most of 2005 working on a album for Thermal.
KFO (Saasfee/Arosa2000-SEA)
The son of a folk musician and technology teacher from hippy-haven Eugene, Oregon, KFO (Bryan Newman) brings a a deep, unpretentious sound, which mixes the asthetic of minimal techno with the lush textures of more ambient works. KFO has been DJing in the northwest just over 5 years, and he debuted his live music act as the opener for Geoff White. His first release is on the way to press in the next Saasfee/Arosa2000 compilation. Tonight Bryan will join us with a DJ set
