quoted 98 lines Nophi Records presents:> > > > > Nophi Records presents: > An Evening of Ambient Music with > > The Flashbulb (chicago) > > As The Flashbulb, Benn Jordan typically releases drill 'n' bass or > breakcore styled music. His style differs strongly between albums, but they > all have a cohesive bond tied around fast drum programming, acid-influenced > melodies, and a wide array of live instrumentation from various instruments > Jordan has acquired. He also often records his melodies through MIDI-synced > guitars. His guitar style and skill has gained attention because he > typically plays it strung backwards, and makes heavy use of fast sweeping > and tapping. The last two Flashbulb albums have featured violinist Greg > Hirte, who will apparently feature heavily on The Flashbulb's next album, > Soundtrack to a Vacant Life, as well. Soundtrack to a Vacant Life is, as > Jordan stated in a recent interview, a step away from the breakcore genre. > He also said that this step is likely to be a permanent trend in the > direction of his music. > > Under other aliases, Benn Jordan's work varies quite a bit. His Acidwolf > and Human Action Network aliases feature retro acid music that uses old drum > machines such as the TR-808 and relies heavily on the melodies of the > TB-303.

He is recognized > for producing a layered and heavily processed sound, combining influences > from old and modern electronic music. Devine largely records for the > Miami-based Schematic Records. As a result of praise of his music from > Autechre as well as a remix of Aphex Twin's Come To Daddy, Devine recorded > an album for Warp Records which was jointly released by Schematic and Warp. > > R. Garcia (atlanta) > > "R. Garcia began making loud noise with a Japanese drumset, a pair of > boom-boxes and a flamenco guitar. Through this ramshackle conglomeration of > stuff, he accidentally discovered multi-track recording. The result of his > experiments would lead him to record an acoustic punk album before he could > even fully tune his instruments. > > As a teenager, Garcia's vision quickly grew beyond the immediate desires > for beer, pot, and girls. He founded 9D recordings, a cassette-tape label > that was more responsible for audio terrorism than anything else. 9D would > later evolve into the critically acclaimed Nophi Recordings — a small > boutique label that would grow to share in the fathering of the modern > American electronic music movement. > > His recent return to the left-field of electronic music has afforded him a > newly found dedication to the craft, where he has found comfort as both > teacher and student in the ways of computer music." > > Recompas (atlanta) > > > Travis Thatcher has performed as an electronic composer and musician for > the last seven years, as a saxophonist for the last 15 years, and has been > cutting his teeth on various experimental electronica projects in Atlanta, > GA.
