“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

So this thing kinda popped up outta the blue, but R_Garcia is touring Florida at the end of Nov./early Dec. & put me on a bill he’s doing at Orlando uber-hip venue - Stardust next Monday Nov. 30th. It’s totally Free and All Ages, so come check out my new music and some other stellar auditory arteests. All the Info you’ll need about the performers, venue, times, etc. can be found over in the News section of my label: Hairy Sloth.

*Go HERE for all the essentials and potentials.

Come see me play a short but highly potent alGARhythm set next Monday. A lot of you haven’t been out to any of my shows for a good while now, and if you could make it out, I’d really appreciate your support of my new auditory gARTw3rkage. 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. It’s kind of earlier event as well, only running from like 9 - 12, so you’ll be home and in bed at a totally respectable hour for all you early risers’.

Really hope to see you there if ya can make it!

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: , , , , .

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

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.

Here Gar Bailey is standing with one of his 2009 painted masterpieces at his home in (n)Osteen, FL. Hopefully this image helps to illustrate the scale and immense detail involved with this particular w3rk of gART. Painted in the Summer of 2009, this piece took Gar a considerable amount of time to complete, working non-stop for like 4-6 days a week from April - August of 2009.

Burial vs Four Tet - “Moth” | Music Video

Published on September 11, 2009 in Musicians, Video, electronica and music video. 2 Comments Tags: , , , , , .

*Looks like the original music video has been removed. Lame-asses! Prolly by some pencil-pushin’ dird niffer who enjoys flourescent lighting no doubt. Here’s a streamable version of the song none the less.

Nothing mind-blowing or revolutionary here, but still a chill track and pretty damn cool accompanying video footage none the less. Solid outting from two icons in each of their own respective genre’s…
Burial and Four Tet. I know a particular few of my friends/readers out their are gonna flip over this collab, while many of the rest of ya will prolly be more of a collective sigh and “feh.”

To each his own, no?
