[microsound] Monday 3/8 FULCRUM:with The Flashbulb, R_Garcia, & Colour With Sound (NYC) FREE!

[2Sense Productions <twosenseproductions@xxxxxxxxx>]

2SP and Nophi Recordings Presents: FULCRUM and the
"Future 
Politicians" tour Featuring: The Flashbulb, R_Garcia,
& Colour With Sound
This is a show not to miss as the four artists who
will perform are among the underground's best
electronic composers and musicians. 
Don't sleep on this one as it will be a blast. Get
your cha-cha shoes and come out and support the scene
since it's free and you know that you have nothing
else better to do on a Monday night!

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
--------
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computer and a handful of outdated MIDI gear.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
known only as `tracker demos' and began to work his
way through the blossoming Miami IDM scene, rubbing
digital elbows with luminaries like Funkstorung,
L'usine 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
-------------
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
-----------------
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 80's
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.

FULCRUM
-------
FULCRUM(aka Ajax Beatphreaker), a live electronic
artist from the NYC area residing in the Harrisburg,
PA area whose music covers practically all of the
electronic music genres - electro, techno, dance, drum
and bass, ghettotech, hardcoretech, IDM, glitch,
illbient, industrial, EBM, trance, experimental,
freestyle, house, hip-hop, trip-hop, rave, trance,
ambient, breakbeat, minimal, loops, noise, downtempo,
broken beat, synthpop, new wave, etc...

FULCRUM's music twists and turns, clicks and pops,
jerks and twitches. The product of an amalgamation of
influences and genres seamlessly blended into the
crucible that is electronic music. You will hear
skittering glitch and disaffected drones associated
with IDM and abstract, experimental musics aerated
with the pulsing beats of drum and bass and old school
electro hip-hop. The result is a fresh, yet
introspective look back and a look forward into the
past, present, and future of music.
