Embedded below this message are 2 of my favorite clips from my recent daVinci’s performance as a part of the event:
Avant GARism #5.

alGARhythm - Live at Avant GARism #5 (entire set)

Unfortunately, this will most likely be the last Avant GARism occasion held in downtown Deland at Caffe daVinci.  A sincere thank you goes out to caffe daVincis for giving this event a chance, and perhaps even greater than that.. a solid footing to branch out from in the future. And though the support that we did receive from patrans over the past 6 months was decent. This past event being exceptionally sweet, with almost every seat in the courtyard filled.  *In the bitter end.. it was not quite enough support to garner further Avant GARism events being held in Deland.  I would definately like to thank all the special artists that came out and played their heARTs out for the all the wonderful folks who came out to hear and see these recepticals of transecendance. We did take a good shot at bringing the underground to Deland.. too bad that perhaps deland wasn’t quite ready for it yet. 

So it is quite fitting that we went out with such a bang on May 3rd, 2008. Nathan Wolek, then Benny Loco, followed by myself: alGARhythm brought honest, muzikal heat in each of our performances of our own respective, electronic sub-genres. I am also stoked that the majority of this was caught on video!! (Look for some Nathan Wolek & Benny Loco footage in the near future.) Big big thanx to Mr. A_Scissors Cunningham and Sir Drone Operator for helping me out with the video stuff, relocating gear, friendship in general, and for putting up with my occasional, grumpy, anxiety fits. You guys rock it hard nails sonz. So without further delinquince, enjoy the stellar footage of my performance below.

With Live Audio & Video performances by an all Volusia county local cast:

Nathan Wolek - “Nathan Wolek is an audio artist and researcher whose work encompasses advanced signal processing techniques, multimedia performance, audio installation art, and electronic music history.  He is also a full-time faculty member at Stetson University in DeLand, FL who teaches courses within the Digital Arts program and oversees the Music Technology major.

Benny Loco & Uncle Abuelito - A one time pupil of Mr. Wolek.   Benny Loco is bright spot on the burgeoning West Volusia underground electronic music scene.  This kat is on the way up, and has been demonstrating this fact with a bunch of successful, local performances and DJ sets recently.  Come catch him doin his software/hardware hybridisation at AG #5 before he is off building musical rainbows in some other magical land.

alGARhythm - Resident weirdo shaman of multiple genres, and the mastermind behind the Avant GARism spectacle of live, innovative audio/video.  Gar will be armed with a fresh batch of circuit bent toys, a new video projector, and a pile of fresh content for your voyeuristic pleasures.

* Besides the performance for the Gar Bailey - “neo-dada, maximalism” aRt show on June 7th.. this will most likely be one of alGARhythm’s last, local performances for a good while.  So even if you are one of those folks who may not totally “get it”, come show me some love and maybe I can help enlighten you to the beauty of unfettered, artistic exploration. 

Plus.. IT IS A FREE SHOW.
