LUCKY DRAGONS (Providence RI)

LOUDSPKR .... presents:

LUCKY DRAGONS – Providence RI [ www.hawksandsparrows.org ]

Glitch/folk -- sensor skin contact dancefreakout performance

...formed in 1999. The cut and paste digital derivative of musique concrete, melodic memory, splintery soft glitches, anxious dada, dirty indie, beautytronics. Lucky dragons is Luke Fischbeck, who edits it like a magazine to make sure it stays going. There are so many others to share the light, though: singing, drawing, dancing, touching, plucking and spinning or sewing with sound files or just listening really well. We are a diy sound branding and sound breaking collective. Records are densely knit collages of ecstatic language, folk melodies, and AM radio rave ups. Live shows are convulsive celebrations of sounds from hard drives and gentle skin contact. Our aesthetic is handmade. Contributing members currently live in Providence RI, Philadelphia PA, coastal Southern California and New York City.

...Lucky Dragons have performed in such festivals as Versionfest (Chicago), SINfest (NYC), Boston Cyberarts and RHfest (Boston, MA), Listening in the Sound Kitchen (Princeton University) etc…

The last I saw them in NYC in December they gave a wire for the audience to hold and every time someone touched another person the sound would change. Basically the wire was connected to a patch they developed on the computer that would generate a sound according to the change in energy going through the wire. They would then improvise with the sound produced. Electronic, organic, interactive…

WINDUP BIRD aka Joseph Grimm – Providence, RI [ www.thewindupbird.com ]

Drawing inspiration from 60's composers like Terry Riley and Gyorgy Ligeti, Joseph Grimm is an emerging composer and performer whose works straddle the line between electroacoustic new music composition and underground experimental noise. Working under the name The Wind-Up Bird, Grimm's music often explores polyrhythm by juxtaposing many simultaneous tempos and periodicities. Oceanic, subliminal drones vibrate below clouds of warm digital pinpricks. Using delay networks, distortions, and other modulations, Grimm performs gradual but drastic transformations of input from live sound sources, emphasizing real-time creation, metamorphosis, and improvisation. His work is often realized with the aid of custom software programmed in the max|msp environment. He has used violin, pedal steel guitar, horns, marimba, and other instruments; but recent work uses only the singing voice as a sound source for hallucinogenic, surround-sound drone improvisations.

Gentle Bakemono aka David Kristian has been at

composing everything from Experimental music to
IDM, Electro and Synthpop. Gentle Bakemono is
one of DK's latest alter egos - a moniker he uses
for his electro projects. Performing as Gentle

what do you listen to and for what..
just curious..

when you say 'near' toronto do you mean mississauga? if so bwahaha... i feel sorry for you..
wait, thats where i'm from...

e is an upper and weed is a downer. what are your experiences with doing them at the same time? i find i am way more likely to get sketchy or i just get really anxious and i don't feel the fun effects of e anymore. i don't know what it is. i find weed helps my come down, but messes up my high.

i read somewhere (in relation to the e and memory post) that weed depletes your short term memory and e depletes your long term memory, if you use both, you'll have no memory at all! ... no you'll just have double the trouble with memory.

doing drugs while in school only makes it so much harder to actually get down and working. its a huge distraction. its hard to rewire your mind to focus after letting it float

yeah, i didn't want to dish out 20$ for this. i already saw both bands last year at two separate shows. if you like the Locust should check out the Daughters or The End (from toronto) i think they have a show coming up. feb 1st @ foufs

but yeah rocks shows get boring.. thats why i need my party fix

hold shit if you want to hear the most fucked up and insane japanese happy hardcore/hardcore go here: [ www.hardrave.jp ]

i'm listening to the radio - somehow.

so fast so insane. got all these crazy video game noises and anime sounds. it so random and unpredicatble.

[ www.maniclab.com ]

i don't think ravers really exist anymore. they've all gone back to punk/hardcore, or whatever. just look at ppl the parties draw these day. so random.

so what are you?

you know its possible to get 101% on this thing. not that i got that or anything...... i got 36%.

taking that quiz totally swamped my comp with ads!! damn you!

me? no...
[ www.rave.ca ]

holy shit we're practically neighbours. i'm on st mathieu just south of st cathrines.

haha,...thanks everyone for the greeting!
and hi seb, wasn't expecting to know anyone on here.. havn't spoken to hubert in the longest time... i just got back to mtl. hope all is well with the kid and everything.

anywayz hope to see everyone around!
peace out.

i'm ashley and i'm new here. i guess you can say i'm not normally a part of this 'scene' or community of people, but i do like to party once in a while (secretly). i guess it's a side of me not many people know about. i just moved to montreal in the summer to go to skool. i don;t know many people yet in montreal who like to party, but i still need my fix. i want to get out to either the next IDJ or Starlight 2 - maybe i will see some of you out!
