[microsound] Melbourne: Environ@Loop this Sunday 3rd of Oct ... Laptopers meet Pitch percussionists meets Psychobillys!

[Brendan Palmer <bp@xxxxxxxxx>]

ENViRON @ LOOP : 23 meyers place melbourne australia
SUNDAY OCTOBER 3rd : 7PM TIL LATE : $5

The evolution of the Environ concept continues on October 3rd with the fifth
monthly event at LOOP featuring a far more percussive and instrumentalist
group of contestants in the music/AV performance games known as 'Talula'. So
far the music movements of Dub, Greek, Folk, Electronic and Jazz have been
represented in the arena. Now it's time for some harder edge music scenes to
make contact.  

Fulfilling both Talula 'Selector' roles on the night are Sydney
Conservatorium come Jazz-DnB percussionist Alistair Wallis, and Joe Talia,
who's the drummer in 'City City City' and the 'Adam Simmons Toy band' to
name two of his projects... That's not to say they're sticking to strict
percussion however.  Al's using a Midi Mallet Kat (a Xylophone Midi
Controller Instrument) to trigger samples and loops, alongside a Vibraphone,
and Joe's bringin out his laptop to share some of his private computer
creations, alongside some banging on Cymbals etc.

Taking things further... Psycho-Rocker Double Bass Player Joey Phantom will
add some serious energy to the sometimes quite sublime Environ headspace,
bringing the drive that propels him in his bands 'The Fireballs' and 'The
Sinshifters' that he describes as being from the metal end of the
Psycho-billy scene. On the other end of the spectrum is emerging Didgeridoo
artist Benjamin Langmead, relying totally on air and circular breathing,
He's played with reggae, jazz, rock, folk, electronic and world acts... so
the 'Talula' experience should only add to that spectrum.

On Visual Duties are VJ Yasmin Sabuncu and optical wizard Paul Rodgers.
Yasmin's work is edgy and raw with a bent sense of humour and reflects her
passion for all things creative. She has worked on music clips, feature film
sets, commercials and theatre events across various roles. Paul's
exceptional at building contraptionist style visual machines that emit
exotic improvised light compositions. Paul will also be contributing Audio
to the Didge versus Pitch percussion set, when he brings out his 'fire
organ'.

Mixing these two sets will be SBS Melbourne Sound Engineer and electronic
music producer David Ashton, and Environ regular treatments enthusiast
Brendan Palmer. 

Due to their ear opening set at the last event, Antediluvian Rocking Horse
have been invited back to warm up the room once again. Their multi-layer
non-headphone DJ style is incredible and unique... Bulgarian import DJ FSB
is a last minute entry to the lineup, prepare to be mind boggled...
Perception altering slides once again are presented by John Aslanidis.
