“Atlas Sound” aka Bradford Cox in his hotel room during 2009’s ATP/All Tomorrow’s Parties Music Festival. He’s showing us how it is done when one man, his guitar, his voice, & his toys are used properly in conjunction with live looping aka infinite tape loop simulation layering.

Presumably from the same hotel complex where many of the ATP fest’s artist were staying.. Here Bradford Cox is joined by No Age’s Randy Randall and esteemed film director and occasional musician Jim Marmusch for an impromtu version of an old Neil Young song - “Cortez the Killer”.

*Props to the artists involved obviously, and to Pitchfork TV for helping document the A/V goodness

The other artists on this bill are no slouches either, and R_Garcia’s comin’ out of tha ATL schmokin’ hot these days. No doubt, it will be a “warm” one to say the least with a special surprise sesh at the end of the evening.

alGARhythm festival performance gets honorable mention in local paper

Published on November 20, 2009 in Culture, Hairy Sloth Records, News, Performances, electronica and live electronics. 0 Comments Tags: algarhythm, antipop, hairy sloth, idm, live electronic.

So my recent alGARhythm performance, which was a part of the 5th annual Anti-Pop Festival in downtown Orlando, went pretty dang well. I was rawkin, rollin’, bobbin’, & weavin’ auditory magic like there’ was no tomorrow. And it turns out I wasn’t the only one who thought so, as my mad skillz were mentioned in the Orlando Weekly on Wednesday in it’s “This Little Underground“ section. Turns out certain fine-feathered folks thought my performance was one of the highlights of the entire festival. Good to know that I’m on the right track in my auditory explorations and the live presentations there of. (Thanx for the opp and dap Bao. You’re the shizz hombre.)

Look for video from this performance to be posted very very soon on Hairy Sloth Records in the Video section, and there’s already a few photos from my Anti-Pop performance up on the photo section of the alGARhythm myspace page. best of all.. in a few months, my long awaited 3rd solo LP is gonna be droppin’ like seasonal rain on a thirsty desert. Stay tuned for much more goodness in the coming weeks and months.

Blah-Dow! - gar BaiLey aka alGARhythm

The Books -”Group Autogenics” | Live Video

Published on October 11, 2009 in Art, Art Film, Artists, Bands, Music, Musicians, Performance Art, Performances, Projectorism, Video and music video. 0 Comments Tags: books, enlightenment, group autogenics, sound collage, the books.

I don’t throw the term “genius” around lightly, but the musically-oriented video/sound collage duo of “The Books” are about “there” in my humble opinion. See for yourself in this “altered” bootleg of a recent performance they did at the St. Louis’ Luminary Center for the Arts. Continuing in a similar subliminal, transcendentally-laced A/V sample-based artfoRm as that as the godfather’s of the genre “Negativland” or as the marvelously mischievous masters from down under “The Avalanches”. No mistaking them for either of those outfits though, “The Books” are most certainly their own entity, and do “it” with their own unique brand of subtlety, grace, & musicianship. Which coincidentally is right up my proverbial artistic alley.

Video: Kseniya Simonova | Ukrainian artist at w3rk

With mere sand and light as the only tools/medium. 24 year old Ukrainian artist, Kseniya Simonova, creates a striking portrayal and interpretation of the German invasion into Ukraine during WWII. That is some pretty damn impressive artistry in my humble opinion.

Spreading love through art and understanding.

BarCamp Orlando website

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

New artist I was recently introduced to via myspace. (Yes, it does have it’s usefulness) I thought this performance/recording was dope enough to share here at Gar LiVes. Pretty potent and dynamic stuff.
