Through the Eyes, Ears, and Mind of Matthew Gar Bailey
Muzak and Video Editing by none other than: A_Scissors
Dig this?… Well, he’s got a ton of free music for you and yers ears over at Hairy Sloth Records. Look for his new full length LP entitled “Approaching Sunlight” to appear on the web pages of Tha SLoTH in the very near future as well. It will include the track above and be just as immaculate and then some. Count on it.
Geometry never sounded or looked so beautiful as in Lusine’s -”Two Dots” track off of 2009’s LP
“A Certain Distance“.
Wanted to share this video/song with my GarLives peeps for a few months now. Finally got around to it. Props to Ian Monroe to turning me on to this album last year. Mad love n’ respect to you, your ears, and your eyes hombre.
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.
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!
Here’s the flyer:
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
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.
-> dr.xnlb: 9 - 10PM
-> alGARhythm: 8 - 9PM
-> Pan/Dos: 7:15 -8PM
-> dj[hexWarrior]: 6:30 - 7:15PM

So my good friend and Polyvibe Records label mate, A_Scissors,
has recently been putting some fresh-ta-deaf tracks up on
his myspace page.
He’s also one of the few cats that I know personally, who truly pushes me to take my own drum machine aRt and explorations to the next level. Look for some new alGARhythm tracks to go up later this Summer, but in the mean time mosey on over to Mr. Scissors’s page, and be one of the first to DL and listen to the revolutional evolutionalz for yerself. His tunes are so beautifully bangin’ that I had to spread the good w3rd.
Catch ya on the flipside - gaR
So as many of you are aware.. Last Saturday nite was the opening for my newest aRt exhibit entitled: Gar Bailey’s - “Neo-Dada, Maximalism in 2008″
This event was held at the Volusia county, omni-venue known as Caffe da Vinci aka the Tongue and Groove Gallery. And though there were definately a few missing faces of some of my friends and associates, whom I thought eYe may see at this most illmatic of occasions. (You know who you are.) The overall feeling at the end of the night, was one of success, accomplishment, comradery, and of a wonderful occasion.
*There were any where from about 75 - 120 people milling about through out the evening. Many of them, some of my favorite people on Earth.
*I am already receiving offers from people & collectors looking to purchase some of my w3rk. Which feels just swell as hell.
*Also, all the muscial performances on Saturday evening, including my own, were fantabulous shooting stars of the Summer night. A_Scissors was on point as ever. Bent Lee, Michael McNabb, and many other from the Four4ths vinyl crew repreZented hardcore for yer boy, and really helped push the whole celebration to the next the level.
I would like to take this time and space to specifically thank a few individuals for their efforts, support, and/or their friendship:
-> First off, I have to thank my wife, MinkinAce for her unwaivering support of everything that I have choose to explore & express in last 20 sum odd years. Without her eternal love, patience, and omni-support.. -the Gar Bailey that many of you know and love, simply would not exist. Neither would much of my w3rk.
*Dana - you are my heaRt giRl. You’re the softest thing I have ever touched. I will see you in the hallway baby.
-> Big Ups to the Caffe daVinci’s & Tongue n’ Groove staff.
This starts with El Capitaun: Mr. Rusty Hamil - Thank you for believing in me and my w3rk all these years. Even when not everyone else did or does. You’ve always given me a place to shine homeboy. I won’t soon forget it. (Import more beavers!)
I’d also like to give thanx to the other big dogs at the venue. Joe, Mark, and Joshua.. Keep it bangin’ guys, and I will too.
->And a big batch of Luv goes out to Sooz White. A special artist and woman who currently books the visual aRt at the Tongue and Groove gallery. Thank you Sooz, for giving me a bit of extra space to flap my wings and to do my thang. I really appreciate your open-mindedness and trust. An increasing rarity in the aRt community. Also, thank you for the help with my tags, and all the wonderfully, tasty appetizers you and your hubby Russ brought out for the opening. The salsa was some of the best I have ever tasted.
->I also would be remiss to not mention the wonderful tenders of the bar who help keep all of our perverbial gears greased. Randy and Caitlin.. you were fabulous. Stellar service. Also a hearty Big Ups nod to all the bartenders of the Caffe’s past. Especially Miss SarahRose.. -the OG of daVinci’s bartending, and a wonderful friend. Luv you lotz giRl.
-> Lastly but not leastly, a sincere thank you to all my friends and family who made it out to show me some love. It surely would be lonely here on EarF without all of you:
To my sister and one of my best friends: Rebecca & her man Mario, My cousins: Justin & John Ahnen, My step-bro: Jesse Bassett and his lovely lady Joyce, Sandra, Crystal, Debbie Perry, Melissa Duvelius, Todd Wallin, Denise, Brian Cunningham, Cate (Who came all the way from Pennsylvania), Eric & Amy Marden, Ian Monroe, Lee Miller, Lesley, Mikey Mell, Jay Byorne, Gil, Todd and Katie, Michael McNabb & Mary, Ton-E & Christiana, Tyler, Heather & Danny, Steph & Mike, Chris, Mia and to everyone else who was there on Saturday. -In physicality or in spirit. I sincerely appreciate all the love and support. -It means the w3rld 2 me, and helps fuel that intangible fire.
Yours truly - Matthew Gar Bailey aka alGARhythm
