This coming Friday in ACUD we'll be using the front bar, upstairs in the Kantina. This time it's not a drill, it's definitely going to happen there, unlike last time, when it didn't. Hopefully you can find out where we end up playing and see the two performances we have for you, which are:
Matthew Meade, is a composer, improviser and Sound Artist living in New York City. He works mostly with live improvisation, sound sculptures and most recently Dance. The focus of this music is to spontaneously compose electronic pieces with musical sensibilities, using LapTop (MSP) and Dobro. He has been described as anti-phonic as well as a rejection of minimalism... No drones, Minimal abstracted Repetition, and a musical arch are the main elements of this work.
and also
BLIN, consisting of Luca Marini and Jasper Stadhouders, is an exciting band consisting of big sound spectrum layers, concrete rhythmical noise, sweet and surprising songs and a constant sparkling energy drive. All music is improvised and during the years that Jasper and Luca have been playing together, they developed a strong common language disregarding any styles and genres. Exploring the sound possibilities and the limits of the instruments is a constant challenge and including toys, various objects and found stuff to their sets enhances the impressive dynamic range that BLIN has to offer.
