The Cast ::
R_GARCIA first began his affair with electronic music in 1991 by way of
an antiquated Commodore Amiga 500 computer and a handful of outdated
MIDI gear. Five years later, he released his first cassette of songs
know only as Tracker Demos and began to work his way through the
blossoming Miami IDM scene, rubbing digital elbows with luminaries like
Funkstorung, L’usine and Phoenecia. Eight years later, we find him
tirelessly performing throughout the United States — releasing a
series of critically acclaimed recordings along the way. With his
venerable homespun label, Nophi Recordings, Garcia has taken quite a
foothold in IDM as he uses the label to showcase his own and others’
talents. He also takes a role in organizing ezRPM, a weekly collective
of electronic and experimental musicians and DJs with a large footprint
on the thriving Orlando IDM map. Just shy of 27, Garcia has already
composed or performed with an impressive list of 45 musical projects,
lending his multi-instrumental talent to several albums, movie scores,
remixes and studio sessions — a testament to his prolificacy.
THE FLASHBULB is one of the many trade names of Benn Jordan, an
eccentric and shockingly diverse recording artist that has dominated
the underground of electronic music for years. Jordan was and is
arguably a key figure in the job of redefining and pioneering new
landmarks in computer-based music, and many listeners and artists agree
that he is one of the most talented electronic musicians of the
generation. Rather than aiming to make strange sounds, Jordan seems to
base most his impressively large collection of written material (a
discography that surpasses 30 known releases as of 2003) on the
ingredients that make emotional and beautiful music. His personality
seems as diverse as his music. In 1993 Jordan’s first electronic
recordings were only sold with supplements of LSD, he releases music
under many secret aliases that he refuses to publicly identify, he
claims to enjoy writing music overnight in elevators, and he has most
recently been found promoting controversial electronic music shows for
a dog. Just as Benn may be the worst publicist in the world, his
lacking qualities can be easily forgiven by his talents, be it in
guitar playing, sitar playing, computer sequencing, or just plain raw
talent. (from worldmixing.com)
COLOUR WITH SOUND is the electronic namesake of the enigmatic and
passionate composer Jeff Wagner. Jeff began his musical career like so
many before him: in a garage band. It was the sweltering heat of the
garage and endless blows to the hand by a pawnshop guitar which forged
the steel of his razor sharp beats and harmonic hues. While technically
a newbie to the electronic scene, Wagner exhibits a classiness in his
compositions which is not readily available to those just getting
started; this is largely due to his endless hours perfecting his craft –
– never releasing a note until completely satisfied or disgusted enough
to let it go. An outline of his compositional muscle is available in
the form of his 2003 self titled EP release on Nophi recordings, which
seamlessly wanders the line between breakbeats, classical and sprawling
drone-noise. Newer CWS tracks and recent performances hint at a bit of
an 80’s new-wave and electro resurgence, all the while maintaining his
IDM credibility and pop sensibilities. His new release, Harmonic
Disturbance will be available by the time the tour begins.
