Just so you know, this month’s OUTPOST has been delayed by a week to make way for a special STUTTER show at Horse Bazaar. If you haven’t been to a STUTTER show (curated by new music impresario powerhouse, Annalee Koernig) then why not take this chance to absorb the impact that Melbourne’s thriving underground and new music will have on your brain box.
This means that OUTPOST #23 for 29th October has been pushed back to Wednesday November 5th.
Stay tuned for more details on feature artists for Outpost #23.
For the netcast we’ll be using the free Mogulus software. The event will link up with other performances around Australia and overseas as part of this special Digital Fringe event.
You can either watch this event from the comfort of your preferred browser, or come on down to Horse Bazaar around 8pm on the 9th October to be a part of it.
Participants in this event are also uploading audio content for remixing in any way they see fit. We have started uploading some audio to the A.B.C.’s new collaborative on-line project Pool. Head over to our page where you can download the material to use freely under a Creative Commons license. There is more material to come and we are tagging it melb2008digitalfringe. Enter this as a search term to find any material that has been uploaded for the event.
Our final event for this years Electrofringe festival in Newcastle is on tonight starting 10pm @ Civic Arcade, Upstairs 403 Hunter Street, Newcastle N.S.W.
Great to see some more people down last night for the jam. Be great to see even more of you down there tonight for one big old blast before the end of a top festival!
Our second event for this years Electrofringe festival in Newcastle is on tonight starting 6pm @ Civic Arcade, Upstairs 403 Hunter Street, Newcastle N.S.W.
For all of you that are up here for this awesome festival and feel the need to let loose after a days worth of information and inspiration, please come on down with your gear in to join in on the jam session. The PA is ready and so are the projectors! Come armed with a few trusty plugs and adaptors and you’ll be on your way! Just approach anyone on the table to find out how you can get started.
Thanks to all that came down to listen and participate in last nights event. We hope to see you there again tonight!
We start the first of 3 nights of jamming tonight as part of Electrofringe in Newcastle tonight.
If you’re in town, or driving down from Sydney to check out some the great events lined up over this weekend, remember to bring along your synths, laptops and whatever other electronic sound/video making devices. Come on down from 6 to 10 pm and plug that stuff in to join us in these special impro sessions!
If you’re looking for us during the day, we’ll either be hanging on the beach or taking in some of the awesome art events and shows packed into this killer weekend!
Boys and girls come out to play for OUTPOST #17 this Wednesday the 26th of March at Horse Bazaar from 8:30p.m.
We are very pleased to have a solo set from Jason Hearn (a.k.a. Jase from Outta Space) for OUTPOST #17. Formerly based in Perth, Jase has just finished prep for his new live show after spending 5 years engaged purely in studio projects. The new show has a very hands-on approach to on-the-fly, improvised live sequencing. Jase’s music spans anything from downbeat glitch-hop, deep-n-fruity electro house, through to dark breaks and hyper-tempo drum’n'bass so we are eager to hear what he has in store for this months event.
Sammy Counihan is also coming down to do a mashed up set with decks and FX which will be fun!
NEWS ON THE JAMS FOR OUTPOST
Everyone did some fantastic interpretation of last months themes for the jams so we are going to explore a couple more for OUTPOST #17.
1. One Sound Jam. Use only one sound and develop.
2. BPM shift. Using a random number generator, we are going to set a couple of tempos and morph between them throughout a jam.
