Last night I happened upon an experimental electronic music/video series called Frequencee Mind Control. It represents the best of whats going on underground all over the country with this new generation of digital artists. I had the pleasure of meeting and seeing the work of VJ Movax, who makes a lot of generative visualizations by using Processing to analyze and react to the audio signal. Got me really excited, and he has an equal excitment for all things involving VJing these days. Hopefully I have convinced him to VJ with us at Dreamtime next week! That will help give me some slack as we are short on VJ talent at the event. Also special props to Drayn, who had a really solid performance and engaging sound. One of the members jammed out on a MIDI keyboard to create most of the drum beats for the set. Humanized electronic beats yum! As a whole the scene here in CO is pretty heavily influenced by breakcore, but it also embraces the more spacious melodic side of IDM/glitch music. Great to see it flourishing!
