A member of the poetry-driven, experimental out band The Nothing Factory

sweetly comedic diversions that claw at your soul.

Location: MonkeyTown, 58 N

It has been 10 years since the very first one off trial Unitygain
events took place at the Cooler on W 14th St...
NYC is a very different place then it was 10 years ago...
as is most of the rest of the planet...
We don't mean to brag but evidently some good ideas do stick around for
awhile...
Live audio visual performance is still in it's infancy as an art form...
We are happy to participate in its evolution...
and hopefully by Nov 5th we will all have some good news to celebrate
together...

DEVILED LEGGS is a most unholy shindig concieved, organized, and
curated by Evan Lipson. It's essentially one extended evening of highly
celebratory and experimental dance music, with an emphasis on
performers who are truly at the forefront of blurring the lines between
rhythmically abstracted brutally harsh noise + ass thumping, heavily
synchopated, timbrally rich, and vibrantly colorful electronic dance
music. in short: crazy fucked up beats + noise.

at MonkeyTown
Thursday Apr. 24th - reservations
recommended
2 sets: 8:00 & 10:30 PM (dinner seatings at 7:30 & 10:00 PM)
NYC’s first dedicated realtime audio visual salon
(1998) returns to MonkeyTown
for a “round robin” evening of quality live electronic audio visual
duets…
In some cases this means one partner makes sound and the other image…
In other cases both partners may each contribute sound & image…
<>These
days they’ve begun to call this kind of thing “Live Cinema” (in Europe
at least) - not an ideal identifier but better than most alternatives -
we still prefer: “realtime electronic audio-visual performance” for
now… although even we know this is too long for anyone to actually say…
Whatever it’s called please join us:
for a multi-sensorial foray into the eternal NOW
(baby)....
6 bux per set or 10 bux for both..

The Monophonic Antelope Cabal is a collective of electronic musicians
from Pennington NJ. Active since 1995, MAC artists have cranked
out fresh and exciting live electronic performances in New York,
Philly, New Jeruvistan, Delta Sector 9 and beyond. . This
night marks the first time all of them have performed under one
roof. Join us for a night of live meepyfloop, side tempo pound
puppy breaks, difficult listening, deep regressive acid-frog and
snail-core.
Leisure Muffin, (Michael Hopkins), has been making electronic music
since the early 90's and his style cris crosses everything from ambient
to electro, hip hop, minimal house, and dub. Currently, Leisure
Muffin lives in his grandmothers basement surrounded by creepy dolls.
When not engaging in flame wars on the Ableton Live online forums, he
somehow finds time to craft regressive epic meepyfloop tracks. Among
his 12 friends, he is considered to be the greatest meepyfloop producer
EVER. Be advised to keep your children and pets away from him.
A bargain at any price, this will only run you $5 and a $10 food or
drink minimum from the monkeytown peeps.

20th MIX Festival
The MIX Film Festival has extended festival programming to include
queer experimental performance audio components which includes a live
performance sound event, audio installations, and a published
compilation CD of new audio works to be given out at the
festival. MIX is working with musicians and artists from across
US as well as international artists to present their works in a new
exciting dialog alongside experimental filmmakers.
Despite Protestations
*V*I*R*G*O* NYC with Charles Cohan PA
A provocative improvisational sound artwork that juxtaposes abstract
layers of analog waveforms with incongruous concrète soundscapes
of gay male pornography, gay-bashing scenes from Hollywood films, and
gay civil rights protests. In Despite Protestations, veteran sound
artists *V*I*R*G*O* and Charles Cohen focus on the omnipresent tension
between sex, politics, and violence. Recalling the random
juxtapositions of John Cage and the speech intelligibility experiments
of Luciano Berio, Lars-Gunnar Bodin and Bengt Emil Johnson, *V*I*R*G*O*
and Charles Cohen blend and distort their emotionally charged source
recordings in numerous ways, exploring the boundary at which sounds
originally laden with such profound meaning can be denuded of all
coherent intelligibility.

Lodge 4028 Filbert St (enter through side

CD release show
Conceived in the spring of '07 within the confines of Sweet Randy
studio, the compilation documents the explosion of philly's harsh
electronic groups at a point of sweet, brutal cohesion. Recorded for
the most part in one blistering, 4 hour session, Technicolor Hell
covers the whole pitch spectrum w/ ascending howls, piercing harmonics,
oozing beats, and deep, incinerating, rhythmic blasts. Featuring 11 of
Philadelphia's most prolific visceral electronic groups/solos, the
album comes in a screen printed zine package designed by local epic
artist Mark Price ($6)
