NOMADBEATZ

MAGWA by nomadbeatz

Nomadbeatz is tearing up tracks with innovative sounds. LA mix artist Josh McHugh has a cutting edge electronic vibe that is smooth funky and grooving...

MNML Glitch is slightly reminiscent of Warp record artists such as Plaid and Autechre. But only slightly ...he slips into a hint of acid jazz motif but dominates the glitch. Glitch hop it is. Dub step too...

"ELECTRI-CITY"

2009-10-18T07:56:00.000-07:00

I am at "ELECTRI-CITY" An Audio/Visual ELectronic/ Rock Experience. Pretty cool. Austin has an electronic music scene. I have been into electronic music since before my college days in the mid 1970s listening to early Tangerine Dream – maybe you know – Phaedra. But before that in highschool it was Syrinx, King Crimson and Emerson Lake and Palmer. I love synthesis and electronics and this is cool. Midi Tesla coils – who woulda thunk? I can’t wait.

I slipped out, it is a little slow and the DJs are rollin’. Got down to the wine bar at Osteria. Man is this part of the east side bad assed. I looked to see – maybe I can move to this neighborhood from my northeast conservative child raising neighborhood on the Mountain. Nope. My wife would kill me. Our 9yo daughter is on one of the better school districts in the country. So much for a resurgence of my Peter Pan complex.

I am liking the cheaper South American wine over the more expensive Cali...figures. More earth, minerals and tannins. Solid.

I went out early this afternoon to scope the scene. Kenny Dorland’s backyard ...hmmm...Oh – there it is in a fenced yard. That’s for sure. I don’t see a house though.

Arc Attack – NOW. The Tesla coils are like lightening on the ground. They branch out in fractals - blowing my mind. The Tesla coils also provide a sizzling synth sound that sits nicely over the bands grooves. They just got back from the mid east where they were doing seven shows a day seven days a week. Amazing – and they are still inspired! Arc Attack is the name,. They are crazy wild scientists – they provide the schematics on their back of the room sales T-shirts.

Awseom a nice fat bass line – leading into a head banging kinda groove after some punk motif – got it goin on. Luck I found a chair to sit down and write in. I really like their miner lights on their foreheads, I wonder if it helps them to see? Red little miner lights on their forheads. Maybe I f I did that I could be more cool in my electronic band, I doubt it,

Uh oh – now audience participants are going to sit in the cage between the Tesla coils and become purified. I would go do it, but I am afraid it might obliterate aenvery piece of data on this computer. They are saying “be cool donlt freak out.” Yikes there is someone sitting in the cage and the column is going up – so are the lightening rods coming off the Tesla coils The main dude in the cage seems to be OK – his head is nodding in headbanger styles along with the music.,

Awesome. The drum beats come on – math metal groove arrives these guys got it going on with some trumpet like riff coming off the Tesal coil.....daaaaa.

The Arc asks for those who would bear witness to the cleansing – that between the Tesla coils. True joy on the count of three. He appears to be safe, or maybe its sage. Oh man there is a fire dancer behind me. How did Austin get to be so...that.

East Austin – where the cutting edge of gentrification is just behind the oh so hip. I lived in Venice California in the late 70s and early 80s just ahead of the gentry curve – it was nowhere and happening as this. But maybe I explicate to heavily. No! Not true this is the f-ing bomb.

OK two beat with pseudo classical harmonies rolling out to the Tesla fractaling lightening shapes. Dude I am tripping.

The robotic drummer by Craig Newswanger. K – now my mind is uber blown. They got robotics pplaying what I thought were drum loops. The drums are live friggin’ robots and they are pounding down a groove that doesn’t quit.
