Big Thanx as well to all the artists who performed. Super solid performances this week. We also managed to capture some audio and video recordings of the event, which came out well also. Look for that stuff to leak out at some point too.

Avant GARism #4
Saturday, February 9th, 2008
Performances by:
alGARhythm - (Polyvibe)
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)
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)
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)
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!
