    INFO!

    MR76IX LIVE (SKAM)
    http://www.skam.com
    Mr 76ix is a mysterious, legendary character in the world of electronic music. A long-time master of the glitchy rave sound that Skam Records became world famous for in the nineties, his amazing productions remained shielded from the public consciousness until his notorious live set at the Autechre-curated ATP in 2003. His performance was hailed as the highlight of the whole festival by the people in the know. Since then three albums of glorious electronic goodness have appeared on Skam, but the Manchester-based don has shunned the limelight in favour of honing his sonic creations yet further, adding a crisp, acidic electro sound to his darkwave flavour. This is a RARE chance to see the man, the myth, the legend Mr 76ix in London town premiering his forthcoming Skam album!

    TEAM DOYOBI LIVE (SKAM / ICASEA / FAT-CAT / ALKU)
    http://www.teamdoyobi.com
    Long time Skam artists Team Doyobi are a UK/Japanese double act famous for their excellent output on Skam and other labels, and are now co-founders of ICASEA. The team are born from the paradoxical utilisation of obsolete electronic equipment to produce futuristic and otherwordly musical ‘scapes. From chip-rave anthems to emotionally charged cyber-ballads, the Team Doyobi live experience is almost religious in intensity.

    MORTAL & CHEMIST LIVE (SKAM / ICASEA / 33)
    http://www.icasea.net
    Another UK/Japan creative nexus between Tom Knapp and Alex Peverett, mixing up classic Skam darkwave flavours and expert hardware tweakery to devastating effect. Initially formed from their loves of sampling, tape edits and remixing, M&C’s progression has landed them deep in worlds of sequencer coding, sound synthesis, Sci-Fi atmospheres and prolonged duration man-machine explorations free from the constraints of physical media they are firmly focused towards the future.

    POBORSK LIVE (ICASEA / CACTUS ISLAND / TSUKU BOSHI / FILAMENT / PLASTIQPASSION)
    http://www.myspace.com/poborsk
    Poborsk will release the first digital release on Icasea, and has released previously on Cactus Island, Tsuku boshi and Plastiq passion. His music mixes shades of classic “IDM” with synthetic computer funk, depth charge bass drops, steel plated beats and concrete sound manipulation. Long time producer on the true underground, for hard core electronic music fans who don’t need to read the labels, don’t miss your chance to catch a rare live UK appearance.

    KONX-OM-PAX LIVE (ICASEA / DISPLAY COPY)
    http://www.konx-om-pax.co.uk/
    Konx-om-Pax is 24 year old Glasgow based Director/Animator/Sound Designer Tom Scholefield. In recent years worked with Warp Records, Universal Everything and Optimo Espacio, he will be performing new material forthcoming on his own “Display Copy” imprint.

    THE WYRDING MODULE LIVE (ICASEA)
    http://wyrdingmodule.psybertron.co.uk/
    The Wyrding Module is an electronic music project from paramusician Christopher Gladwin, one half of Team Doyobi (SKAM, ICASEA). The sounds of the Wyrding Module are inspired by Motorik Krautrock, Early Electronica, New Wave SF, psychedelia, 70’s horror films, W. S. Burroughs, Post Industrial Ambience and the Occult.

    DJ’s:
    GESCOM (SKAM / OR / CLEAR / SOURCE / WARP / FAT-CAT)
    http://www.skam.com
    A rare DJ set from the ultra-secretive Skam supergroup whose members are said to include Autechre, Rob Hall, Mr76ix, Andy Maddocks and many others…absolutely unmissable.

    S>>D (ICASEA)
    http://www.myspace.com/sfx2dtunes
    Straight out of Belfast comes S>>D, we are very happy to have him play a rare DJ set, check out his podcast “end of line mix” on ∆ICASEA SELECT for pointers, expect Tuff electro-breaks, streetsounds era bangers, futuristic hiphop and much more. Not to be missed.

    missaw (The Centrifuge)
    www.missaw.com
    missaw is The Centrifuge’s label curator & resident remixer, creating electronic concoctions for the body and the mind.

    VJ the SuRReaLaRTiST (Ginglik)
    http://www.myspace.com/surrealartistVJ
    The SuRReaLaRTiST pushes the boundaries of live clubland visuals every week @ TECHLIKS. Turning the beats into light, colour and shape means that your dance floor experience is truly a multi-sensory one. Mixing an eye popping blend of tough graphics, cult films, timelapse, CGI, lasers, stop-frame animation, surrealism & abstraction; all with a bit of dark humour thrown in there for good measure. Your retinas won’t know what to do with themselves!

    The Centrifuge – ‘live electronics can be real’

    The Centrifuge (www.TheCentrifuge.co.uk) is a UK based not-for-profit digital arts collective, hosting incendiary live experimental electronic music events in London, Nottingham, Manchester and Leeds in the last 2 years.  In addition to this they operate a netlabel, releasing 2 free EPs/albums per month through their website. Both of these activities are supported by their large artist roster and strong collaborative and community ethic.

    The Centrifuge’s musical and artistic focus is broad, revolving around the utilisation of an experimental aesthetic to continue to push back the perceived boundaries of live performance. Their main activities are musically-focussed; however they also have visual artists, programmers, engineers, hardware bend-makers and designers amongst their ranks to complete their diverse creative offering.

  • The Centrifuge @ Futuresonic Festival 2009 Workshop Videos Online!

    Here it is, footage from the very first Workshop/Seminar series that The Centrifuge has organised, at Futuresonic Festival in Manchester, May 2009. Apologies for the sound and video quality, limited budget an’ all that!

    Street Rave Footage to follow…

    1) Scrubber Fox, Mr Underwood & DJ Stuff – Microcontrollers & the physical environment: an sonic exploration of microcontrollers, tactile sensors and mechanical devices.
    www.myspace.com/thescrubberfoxspace / www.mrunderwood.co.uk

    Sam Underwood and Gary Naylor are electronic musicians hailing from Cornwall and Wigan. Both ‘inventor makers’, they have come together to develop their first collaborative piece for the festival. This will see electronics, interactivity and music collide. Futuresonic will play host to the unveiling, showcase and performance of their work.

    2) NeuTek – www.thecentrifuge.co.uk
    Adventures with Piggy Tracker : the pocket studio/performance package

    NeuTek (aka Dean Forrest) is an Oslo-based musician and programmer, releasing music exclusively on the The Centrifuge netlabel. He uses bespoke open-source tracker software and portable devices to create technical, emotive and challenging ‘chip-glitch’ music with a dynamic and energetic performance aesthetic.

    Piggy tracker is a light weight, multiple platform, powerful music composition tool. In this seminar you will see piggy’s features demonstrated and learn how to compose a song and play it live, all within your hands and off a couple of AA batteries. The utilisation of Piggy tracker has led to the world’s first live “wireless street rave” – the music is created and manipulated live by NeuTek and the Boombot Soundsystem’s speaker-suits form a mobile PA.

    3) Raw Hedroom – www.myspace.com/rawhedroom
    Jazzmutant Lemur Masterclass

    Gareth Williams, otherwise known as Raw Hedroom, has been making waves of late. His recent work has been climbing Beatport’s techno charts and he is one of highly influential German techno label, Trapez’s most recent signings. His own brand of electronic music is technical and often melodic, yet puts the real emphasis on pushing an infectious groove.

    After a classical upbringing, thanks to his music-teaching mother, Gareth was seduced by bleeps and buzzes at a tender age and has been practising his dark art ever since. An early adopter of the Lemur, Gareth uses Jazzmutant’s groundbreaking touchscreen controller alongside Ableton Live as as a powerful performance and compositional tool. Being able to “touch” and physically manipulate sounds intuitively allows him to deliver a precisely crafted set. In the studio it lets him capture the human error and groove which is missing from a lot of clinically sequenced electronic music.

    This workshop will demonstrate the following aspects of the Lemur/Live partnership while showcasing a number of features from Lemur’s new V2 firmware update:

    Performing a powerful hybrid live/DJ set with the Lemur/Live combination
    Using the Lemur with Live as a powerful sound-design tool
    Natural and musical sequencing with Lemur and Live

    4) Ben Eyes (aka Quip) – www.quipmusic.co.uk
    Live Looping techniques using modular software environments

    Using software it is now possible to create live loops on the fly, in a similar fashion to the popular looper pedals. However the modular possibilities of programs such as Audiomulch allow far more creative use of looping. Ben Eyes will be discussing some of the techniques he uses for performance and composition. He will also show off the new mac version of Audiomulch and show how you can use Ableton as a Live Looping platform.

    Quip

    5) Richard Devine – www.richard-devine.com
    Jazzmutant Lemur Masterclass

    As an artist his productions are frequently intricate, heavily processed and intense, being held in the highest regard by journalists, music fans and seminal artists such as Autechre and Aphex Twin alike. He has released 4 full-length albums on Schematic, Warp, Asphodel, and Sublight records and has performed his own ear-tearing music mayhem worldwide.

    He has done film score work for Touchstone Pictures, sound mangling for Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails, designed countless commercials and done sound design for companies from uber-cool audio companies like Native Instruments, Ableton and Access to car firms such as Audi and BMW!

    Being the kind of guy who loves to use (and abuse) any new technology he can get his hands on, he took to the Jazzmutant Lemur like a (rather twisted) duck to water.

    In his workshop he will demonstrate how he has been using the Lemur for all of the above! He will discuss how he’s taken advantage of Jazzmutant multitouch technology in multiple situations:

    DJing
    Playing live
    Working in the studio
    Producing sound design
    The workshop will feature use of the Lemur in a variety of applications, including Ableton Live, Native Instruments Reaktor and Traktor, Cycling 74’s Max/MSP and more.

    Bumper 8-track EP from Sweden’s Veqtor, curator of the OXO-Unlimited netlabel. The release twists and turns between melodic junglism, max/msp-fuelled glitch explorations and a dirty, dub techno vibe.

  • Support Us If You Can!

    As you might have guessed, running a free label and non-commercial events isn’t exactly a shortcut to a pot of gold, quite the opposite in fact. So if you like what we do, and can spare a little bit of cash it would make all the difference to us! We want to keep releasing music for free, we believe that open-source music is one of the best ways forward to revitalise the music industry, especially in a less commercial scene such as experimental electronic music. Any help you can give is appreciated, whether its spreading the word about our releases and events, coming down to our shows and saying hello or cold, hard, sweet cash.

    As a token of our appreciation, if you can donate over £5 (UK peeps) or over £10 (EU/Rest of World), and give us your postal address, we’ll send you a mixture of exclusive digital and real-world goodies that can’t be gotten at any other way. Can’t say fairer than that huh??
