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
