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.

Videos of the show:
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.

Always - alGARhythm BaiLey

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.

Avant GARism #4
Saturday, February 9th, 2008

Performances by:
alGARhythm  - (Polyvibe)
_mg_1000_sm2.jpg

alGARhythm makes Maximalist music as a result of existing in an corrupt, over-saturated society.  AbstraKtion, Angst, & Absurdity share space with utter Beauty &  unfettered Intangiblilty.
Dance beats dance with Sound Collage.
The Peripheral meets the Forefront.
Popularity jumps rope with Obscurity.
Nothing is Safe, and Everything is Sacred.

 On Accident, By Purpose. Gar Lives..

 

A_Scissors - (Polyvibe)
2118765769_567a37545f_o_sm2.jpg

A_Scissors uses Drum Machine Art as a conduit for transformation and communication.
Cohesiveness of aesthetic. Like a cheetah. A mirage. Like a soft child.
Auditory bliss makes friends with the ratatat-tat-tick-tock-boom-click. Metaphoria electro-caffinates and inflates the imagination of cohabitation. Orchestrated, Analog “MueZeek” made for people’s of all cloth, and made with a vulnerability & musical touch one might describe as: “delicacy”.  

Existing somewhere near the music of a Boards of Canada, or a Nathan Fake but done with a definitive “punch” and style that is all his own.

 

Mr. Antonym - (Nophi)
01_11_2007_ess_show_at_peacock-008_sm2.jpg

 Mr. Antonym makes eclectic, brooding IDM.
Here’s how he described his upcoming set for the 9th: “Expect sample-heavy, distorted pieces that sound like demons belching brimstone and depressing dirges that lull the mind into a anesthetized haze so the inevitable psychic implants will be virtually painless. Goth kids will love it.”

 

Drone Operator - (Consumer Electronics, Polyvibe)may_20_2007_garbob_hiking-086_invtclr1_sm2.jpg

Drone Operator fuses sinister organic undertones, darkened Electro, IDM, Booty Breaks, & Glitch .  Conducting, shaping, and molding crooked thinking into a simmering pot of ominous storm cloudISM.  The Drone works and the Operator directs, rushing out potent pulses of tactical psycometry.. Audi-O with a depth and exactness that verbiage cannot manifest.

Children of the Earth.. The Time has Come!

The innaugural night of the monthly event that I’m going to be curating, booking, hosting, etc at Caffe DaVinci starts this Friday.  -And I’ve got some special performances to kick this thing off with an O-riginal BANG!  

 Avant GARism at DaVinci  is dedicated to showcasing our area’s thriving underbelly of uber-talented, contemporary artists.  -Musicians, Video Artists, Performers, Poets, Pipers, Prophets, etc.  This’ll hopefully be the first of many successful nights of eclectic and eccentric performances to come.   Big thanx to one of Central Fl’s most chillax’d, intimate venues for helping to facilitate this gathering of fertile hearts and minds.

PAN DOS - Sanford, FL
-Pan Dos is one of my favorite A/V artists in any area, much less our own. His brand of melodic, glitch-hop booty is cohesively abstracted just enough to wiggle yer brain, yer ears, yer eyes, and yer ass all at the same time. And the best part is he runs it all through multiple VCRs and TVs for the full-on cerebral, ocular, auditory experience. Do not miss this artist! He is what Avant GARism at DaVinci is all about.

alGARhythm - Osteen, FL
-alGARhythm is a shamanic fig as an embodiment of sound and sight. Using an assortment of instruments, drum machines, synths, samplers, tapes, toys, TVs, etc to explore the human condition. Existential rhythm aRt melody machine performance Man.

Cop City Cold Chillers ChillPillars- Deland?, FL
-Unfortunately due circumstances out of their control, “CoP City ChillPillars” have had to cancel their performance with us on Nov. 9th. Look for them at a future event though. And don’t fret.. that just means a little more PAN/DOS & alGARhythMANism for ya’s!
