Tonight!!!
Hour 1: Kim Cascone (Anechoic Media)
We are pleased to help Vancouver New Music, by presenting a legend in North American ambient music, KIM CASCONE. On Feb. 10th at Video In Studios (1965 Main St.) he brings his new work 'Spectral Space' to the city. This performance focuses on the omnipresent din of our media culture, which provides a security blanket for many: when noise is present, we feel at ease; when it stops, we feel unease. In this paradoxical development of our cognitive apparatus we are now better able to assimilate more information at one time and decode its meaning. With 'Spectral Space' Cascone builds a foreground/midground/background sound-field through which sounds glint, shimmer, collide and implode within the fabric of noise. Kim Cascone has a long history involving electronic music: he received his formal training in electronic music at the Berklee College of Music in the early 1970s. In the 1980s, after moving to San Francisco and gaining experience as an audio technician, Cascone worked with David Lynch as Assistant Music Editor on both Twin Peaks and Wild at Heart. Cascone left the film industry in 1991 to concentrate on Silent Records, which he sold in early 1996 to pursue a career as a sound designer and went to work for Thomas Dolby's company Headspace as a sound designer and composer. After a two-year stint at Headspace he
worked for Staccato Systems as the Director of Content where he oversaw sound design using algorithmic synthesis for video games. Since 1984, Kim has released more than 30 albums of electronic music and has recorded/performed with Merzbow, Keith Rowe, Tony Conrad, Scanner, John Tilbury and Pauline Oliveros among others. Cascone was also one of the co-founders of the microsound list that focuses on
issues concerning digital music and laptop performance.

Its like a magical combination plate of sonics every time these three get on the decks.
Sweet, sour and sassy, you can expect a little bit of everything from upfront dubstep to out on the floor house as these DJs show you what over thirty combined years of DJing experience can do for you..plus they sing pretty too.
