WED Nov 3, 2004: with Kero, Derek Michael, and DJs Chris Widman and Don
Solo @ Sonotheque, 1444 W Chicago, Chicago, IL. 9pm. I have played quite
a few tour dates with these guys from Detroit Underground, and am really
looking forward to this performance-- it'll be quite intense to hear
their work through Sonotheque's awesome system, and they've got a new 12
out now. Come check it out!
SUN Nov 21, 2004: with visuals by Brien Rullman (OVT) at the Native
Instruments-sponsored weekly, LOCALE. Brien supplied the visuals for the
first ever Quantazelle performance and now he's putting his distinctive
visual mark on the evolved sound three years later. How cool is that?
LOCALE showcases a different electronic composer every week along with a
multimedia artist adding projected visuals
(

Chicago. 10pm. FREE.

Wow. People are totally digging Coaster. Check out these reviews it's
been getting:
GROOVES
"...it's a solid, more-than-competent release. The bulk of the 12 tracks
here work straight from the classic Warp playbook, with skittering
rhythms indebted to Amber-era Autechre before the pairs beats went all
algorhythmic on us. Quantazelle isnt a one-trick pony, though, as she
dabbles in 4/4 pounding ("Pedwards"), retro videogame bleeps (the
closing "Stereofoam"), and even an ambient piano track ("Wineglass
Chopstick Clinkrush")..."Vanity Knobs with Groove Grimace," in
particular, sounds like an Aphex Twin track from the Selected Ambient
Works 85-92 era that Richard D. lost oh his hard drive."
THE MILK FACTORY
"...The music is exquisitely complex and abstract, with elements of
electronic and acoustic instrumentation constantly set on a collision
course with found sounds and sharp pseudo-industrial beat structures.
Amazingly at ease with chaotic sonic landscapes, Quantazelle crafts
subtle little melodies out of debris of techno and electro while also
providing some interesting atmospheric variations....Built around a
sharp hip-hop-influenced rhythmic structure reminiscent of Autechre
circa Tri Repetae, Liz layers sounds to develop a mind-bursting melodic
pattern. ... Liz McLean-Knight manages to develop fully functional
organic structures in a few minutes without using tired gimmicks or
empty stylistic effects... "
Here's the rest of the gushing that I link to in a most humble and
undeserving manner:
