Live: alGARhythm, Pan/Dos, Dr.XnLb, DJ Hexwarrior @ BarCamp AfterParty

barcamp3-afterparty_600w

<({[-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-]})>

alGARhythm: One of Central Florida’s best kept secrets. Tucked away in his secret laboratory somewhere in the wetlands of Volusia county, this digital shamen will bring the ruckus as he performs his special brand of electronic rock and roll for your eyes and ears. Multiple drum machines, circuit bent toys, and an array of samplers are his weapons. Your brain stem, his target.

Pan/Dos: The end of tv as we know it. Pan/Dos combines the analogue hardware of yore into a chaotic, yet melodic soup of sight and sound, using VHS and TV Tubes as the ingredients. Must be seen to be believed.

Dr.XnLb: This is what happens when a certified code ninja slices his way into the music scene. By touching his mac in its naughty places, he can tease beats into a digital tapestry of circular logic and musical run on sentences with more segues than Dean Kamen. Also, pancakes.

DJ [HexWarrior]: This host of WPRK’s Talk Nerdy To Me and founder of the Nerdapalooza music festival will start the night off right with his own mix of Nerdcore, Chiptunes, Wizard Rock, and other genres so geeky, they make Woz himself blush.

    Tis an early event, so don’t be late. Here are the performers time slots:

-> dr.xnlb: 9 - 10PM
-> alGARhythm: 8 - 9PM
-> Pan/Dos: 7:15 -8PM
-> dj[hexWarrior]: 6:30 - 7:15PM

Video: DAAS Painting To A_Scissors Music

Below is a recent video posted by the American artist: DAAS - by way of Osaka, Japan. Doing some pretty damn smooth live pigment applicating to the wonderful sounds of Hairy Sloth recording artist: A_Scissors. The Track is entitled: “Frogs, Snakes, & Lizards” and is available for free download over at Hairy Sloth Records right now.

Double yay!!. -both of these artist are not only completely awesome at what they do, but are both super high quality human beings, and above all else.. true friends of mine.

Painting: “Building Blocks Fish For The Sun In Vain”

"Building Blocks Fish For The Sun In Vain"

Medium: Oil & Acrylic On Masonite
Size: 24″ x 48″
Date: Finished on - 3/24/2009
*You can click on the photo above for different sized views and remote linkages to them.

So this is a painting I have been w3rking on for the past 2 weeks. At first I wasn’t so keen on it, but after w3rking it and then rew3rking it for a few sessions.. the painting did eventually begin to grow on me. Tis odd how sometimes the pieces of aRt that start out kinda crummy-looking can end up being some of my better artw3rk in the end. -The ol’ ugly duckling which grows into the swan scenario.

So do ya wanna see a little bit of ol’ Gar B. in action?.. well peep this video here and get a tiny peek into my w3rld of shamanic pigment combustion!

“Building Blocks Fish For The Sun In Vain”

Iin other decent news: I’ve been feeling pretty inspired artistically, w3rking hard almost everyday, & doing some quality painting as of late. So keep yer eyes peeled and I’ll surely try to get some more stuff posted here for everybody to view and absorb.

DAAS + GAR * Live Painting In Deland On 1/29/09

That’s right campers.. This utter rarity of occurrence, and real-time synergistic creative act is going on Thursday Night / January 29th, 2009 from about 8PM - 12AM ish at Caffe daVinci’s in Deland, Florida.

The American painter by way of Osaka, Japan called DAAS is only on this side of the great orb for a short bit per annual planetary orbit. -So he and myself planned on making the most of it, and we’ve put together an ample-sized 8ft x 4ft masonite surface to paint on in front of all who wish to see. This surface is firmly attached to a wooden framed backing, and is smoother than a baby’s backside. We may also be enlarging video’d close-ups of us painting, through a projector for a greater cerebral and ocular enjoyment. The finished w3rk will also be put up for sale upon completion or at a later date/group show in the daVinci’s gallery.

And so now it’s on like Donkey Kong! Please come check out what is sure to be a highly memorable evening and surely a one of a kind piece of artw3rk. Which is going to come to life right before your eyes by two of the most talented contemporary painters to ever come out of the sunshine state. I’ll also be DJing stellar tunes and grooves to paint, chill, and party to all evening long. I’ve got an extra tasty playlist cue’d up especially for this one! Get it on baby!..

Video: BLU’s - “Muto”

One of the most ambitious urban animation/ graffiti projeKts I have ever seen.  South American aRtist sensation offers us “MUTO“.  Painted and Photographed over a period of weeks, with much of his w3rk getting painted over as he went along.  Like in life, one thing leads to another.  One wave washes over the next.  Everything is born, Everything dies.

Long live the genius of BLU .  Cheers mate.

*And props to to my step-bro Jesse Bassett for the tip.

Painting done live on “New Year’s Eve 2002″

This was piece entitled “New Year’s Eve 2002“, that I completed in one sitting.  Over the course of an evening during a New Years’s Party for some of the Orlando Cirque du Soleil performers.  DJ Bent Lee was also man’ing the vinyl rotation decks that nite, and he ending up purchasing this piece from me for an undisclosed sum of money afterwards.  (Thanx buddy, and I hope NC treats you well my friend.)

Medium:  Oil, Acrylic, & Oil Stick on Canvas
Size:  Approximately - 2 ft. x 5 ft.
