As always, entry is free, and it’s a great opportunity to meet some like-minded artists, see/hear/participate in some great new work and even try out some of your own new material.
So...BRING YOUR GEAR AND HAVE NO FEAR!

SPICY FORMAT CHANGES FOR SHARE OUTPOST 2010

Feature Artist Performance and Informal Q’n'A: We have at least one scheduled feature artist each month.
This year, we thought it would be great to also have artists talk about their processes, their gear and find out a bit about what they have been checking out.
This informal Q’n'A will be hosted by our own Byron Scullin.

THIS MONTH’S FEATURE ARTIST IS..
DJsqgl (DeeJay Sqiggle) is venturing down from the serene surrounds of Lake Macquarrie, NSW to give us a mashup set and talk about his a/v set up on Tracktor.
Sqgl (a.k.a. Joe Koan) was an active part of Clan Analogue in the 90s performing with Signal-to-Noise and the improvising techno trio DoSE (Department of Social Engineering).

Prescribed Stimulus Jam: This may be a key word/style/type of material to be used.
The topic for extemporization by performers will be posted on this site a few weeks out. It will also be included in the OUTPOST mail-out the week before the monthly event.

THE THEME FOR THIS MONTH’S P.S.J. IS MY FAVORITE WAVEFORM

More Impromptu Shorter Sets: whether you want to give a tasty snack sized version of something you are working up or if you just feel like performing something more spontaneous – this is the arena for you.

Variation In Performance: We love it when things are less predictable, lets mash up different numbers of players, maybe try a round robin tag team type of affair?

    Random Acts of Elevator Music make rare out-of-office-hours appearance…
    Taking a break from a heavy work schedule of daytime elevator performances in Melbourne’s office buildings, Random Acts of Elevator Music bring their live muzaktronica to Outpost at Bar Open on Wednesday September the 30th. Experience these soothing oscillations and melodies and enjoy your resultant increase in productivity.

    Random Acts of Elevator Music is the latest project from City Frequencies, a collaboration between Matt Adair and Nick Wilson, who work together on sound projects within the metropolitan environment.

    Winterpark (solo)

    Begun in 2005 as a collaborative musical studio project by Melbourne musician Matt Ridgway, Winterpark soon evolved into a live band that merged elements of sound design, pop, electronica and noise. 2006 saw the release of the debut album ‘One Night Alone’. 2007 saw the band take on the world with an adventure that saw them film a clip in the back alleys of Brooklyn, play at Iceland’s airwaves festival parties for free drinks, carry equipment on the Paris underground to play Parties, travel to Prague to play at a bookstore, and write songs in a makeshift apartment in Berlin.

    2008 saw Winterpark back on home turf, independently releasing ‘Falling Men and Flying Dreams’ and a subsequent east coast album launch tour.

    2009 brings a new chapter, with Matt creating melodic, ambient, layered, textural music with heavily processed guitar, vocals and live laptop. Playing at OUTPOST as part of Melbourne Fringe Festival. Wednesday Sept 30th.
