SUMMARY:LIVE ELECTRONIC MUSIC SHOWCASE
DESCRIPTION:A Family Friendly Afternoon Concert + Dance Party \nYou might be asking… what is “Live Electronic Music”? Well\, simply put\, it is electronic music that is performed live. In other words\, the performers are not DJing; rather\, they utilize a variety of electronic instruments (e.g. synthesizers\, sequencers\, computers\, electronic violins\, vocal processors\, theremins\, loopers\, etc.) and weave sonic-worlds in real-time\, one layer at a time. \nThis showcase will take you on an epic journey into the world of live electronic music. It’ll start right at 3:20pm with a 10 minute talk giving an overview of live electronic music. Following this\, each of the 4 acts (who produce music in completely different genres of music) will do two things. They will: 1) give a 10 minute talk discussing their creative and technical processes\, so that attendees have a much deeper insight into how they think about\, feel into\, and perform their music\, and 2) follow that talk with a 40 minute performance. \nThe artists are: \ntpwtr (glitchy lo-fi funk)\nthisissami (improvised beats & freestyle rap)\nNella Banner (ethereal downtempo & ambient)\nJaq Taforo + Aurelien Sudan (improvised electronic-jazz fusion) \nFood will be available courtesy of Nelson-based Mexican chef Erika Cuevas. She will be serving burritos and soup\, with vegetarian and gluten free options available. \nSound will be provided by Live Harmonics from the Slocan Valley\, who will be setting up a PK sound system. \nDoors open at 3:00pm. Show starts at 3:20pm.
