Only continue reading if you crave large amounts of information... for a more pleasant informational experience please go to http://www.tonic107.com SUBTONIC SOUNDSYSTEM _live_ :Tono-Bungay Way-out rock trio Tono-Bungay includes ex-Fire in the Kitchen guy Bob Bannister and Robert Dennis, who have a solid understanding of experimental music's history and therefore, we can trust them to direct us into the their take on the future. Expect wild flights of improv noise. :Hall of Fame One of the leaders of today's psychedelic-folk scene, Hall of Fame conjures benevolent demons and gentle spirits to guide a trip through the dimly lit reaches of the inner world. The group's shambling, rattling beauty shows that they can see both the forest and the trees. :Timeblind (aka Chris Sattinger) is one of the genreless beasts of the polar bear club. He has put out over 30 records including the recent (and particularily genreless) Bloatware EP (Orthlorng Musork) and the Catacalysamajiggy EP (dropbeat). Live shows are done on a powerbook running elaborate and dynamic signal manipulation software based on illegally obtained alien software. :Chessie As the drum and bass, electronic music and experimental rock scenes continue to both fracture and intermix, it is the rare artist who can contribute meaningfully to each of these areas, and excel in doing so. Chessie (a/k/a Stephen Gardner) is one of these unique artists. His 1996 album Signal Series (Drop Beat) is a masterpiece, without a doubt a landmark achievement. His new album Meet (Drop Beat) goes so much farther into the unknown that reasonable points of reference become harder to find. :DJ Olive The man responsible for transmuting turntables into 'lectronic smoke signal processors of a very future variety. :So Takahashi With his debut release Nubus on New Yorkís Car Park label, Takahashi has made a distinct mark in the pulse+click wing of electronic music. Takahashiís live performance embarks the exploration of microsound and subsonic frequencies. :Criterion Creates loop-based music incorporating manipulated, processed, shifting rhythms. His debut 12" Root Canal which will be out in May on his own Broklyn Beats, reflects his emphasis on live electronic improvisation. :Raz Mesinai (a/k/a Badawi, a/k/a the Bedouin) was first introduced to Middle Eastern drumming at age seven by dervish sheik Murshid Hassan. As a child, he spent time in the Sinai Desert with the Bedouins, and in drumming circles with Yemenite and Moroccan Jews, during which he learned a wide range of percussion instruments. He went on to collaborate with bassist John Ward as Sub Dub and record a solo album on ROIR, entitled Bedouin Sound Clash. He is now considered one of the best dub/reggae DJs in NewYork. :ferris_wheel (Taketo Shimada & Toshio Kajiwara) employs collage techniques to extend the historical perception of musical process. Their performances and site-specific sound pieces involve live electronics, sound synthesis and concrete-music techniques. :<o>blaat Will be settting up the stompbox processed ping-pong table once again! This will be your last chance to see and participate in the 'beat piece' until some generous folks giving me some funds to upgrade it;) "Come down and play ping-pong for with me!" You'll be a part of the 'strange but super-intriguing' ambience altogether! _dj sets_ :I-Sound Whom's involvement with such projects at the Ambush label, To Rococo Rot, and Roots & Wires will be implementing electronic sounds and improvising in dj context. :Jason Williams Subtext resident techno explorer Jason Williams (a/k/a Velocette) has recorded for Jonah Sharpís legendary Reflective Records and Williams' very own imprint Parallel will be in dj mode delivering an assortment of techno-soul and jack tracks from the library of Babylon. :Two Lives The polar bear club's resident hack-of-all-trades sees music not as different forms, but rather as one heaving mass of spirit, love and ecstasy. But really though, it's just records. :Nein Volt vs. Markus Miller Subtext residents Markus Miller and Nein Volt take on 3 turntables, 2 mixers and a maze of modular effects to re-texture their sparse records. SEE YOU TONIGHT!
