----/ The Squid List /-------------------------------------------------- An evening with Torsten Kretchzmar & Moped
Friday, September 30th 9:00pm $5 ----/ Event Description /----------------------------------------------- Torsten Kretchzmar, the German electro pop performer, is described as the love child of Kraftwerk and Sprockets and is now bringing you the next best German word since Fahrvergnugen with his project "Entschlossenheit". His lyrics are interpreted by the abstract dance artist Tanner Coleman Stewart. Torsten Kretchzmar rocks the soft-spoken, androgynous artist to a tee in this excellent techno concept project. With a dead-pan behind-the- scenes documentary and videos complete with Oskar Schlemmer-esque dance moves and over-the-top filters, it's not only solidly catchy, teutonic music, but a completely fun and inspiring Gesamtkunstwerk. At ATA he will present his DVD "Entschlossenheit" in a live multimedia show with a special perfromance of "Dunkelheit" and "Feuchtigkeit"! www.kretchzmar.com Also, fearing that the tagline "live electronica" has become a catch- all for any knob-twiddler attempting to incorporate an actual synthesizer into his or her set, Mission District multimedia trio Moped prefer to call a spade a spade. In this case (real-) live instrumentation and laptop-generated soundscapes compliment the oddball visuals of video wizard Cripes! in creating an AV feast to shake your booty to. Blending hip-hop, Progression Sessions-minded jazz'n'bass, and the improvisatory spirit of --dare I say-- a jam band (think Soundtribe Sector 9), Moped's eclecticism plays to the genre-hopping music lover in us all. ----/ Venue Info /------------------------------------------------------ Artists' Television Access 992 Valencia Street @ 21st San Francisco 415-824-3890 www.atasite.org ----/ Additional Info /------------------------------------------------- [EMAIL PROTECTED] ----/ The Squid List Admin /--------------------------------------------- The Squid List, a tentacle of Laughing Squid http://laughingsquid.org/squidlist/ subscribe, unsubscribe, change your email address or change your subscription options: http://lists.laughingsquid.org/mailman/listinfo/squidlist/ Frequently Asked Questions & Submission Guidelines Squid List FAQ: http://laughingsquid.org/squidlist/faq.html The Squid List Online Calendar: http://laughingsquid.org/squidlist/calendar/ The Squid List RSS Feed: http://feeds.feedburner.com/squidlist ----/ Laughing Squid /-------------------------------------------------- Laughing Squid http://laughingsquid.com underground art and culture from San Francisco and beyond Laughing Squid Web Hosting http://laughingsquid.net friendly, dependable and secure web hosting services for artists, individuals, bloggers, non-profits and small businesses Copyright (c) 2005 Laughing Squid.
