After an awesome February event at DJ WASABI’S new creative space TETRIS OUTPOST is back next Wednesday March 31st form 8p.m. till 11:30 p.m.

WHERE AND WHEN?

WEDNESDAY MARCH 31 @ TETRIS
36 Phoenix St, Brunswick
(2 minutes walk from Brunswick Railway Station)
8 p.m. till Midnight

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!

THIS MONTH’S FEATURE ARTIST AND Q’n'A IS..
Spoonbill (a.k.a. Jim Moynihan) … an elegant and quirky symphony of honey-scented grooves, jovial humour and joyous beat trickery, melding an ever-evolving array of styles into a distinctive ozzie blend. Call it quirk-funk or downbeat with bite, Spoonbill takes the listener firmly by the scruff of the ear and leads them into a shady forest of rhodes, horns, and deep double bass, then back out into an eccentric wonderland of glitched-out grooves infused with talkback radio and rowdy bush cobbers.

Prescribed Stimulus Jam: The topic for extemporization by performers in one of the jams.

THE THEME FOR THIS MONTH’S P.S.J. IS LABORED OF LOVE: SLOW MOTION – see below for game parameters.

AUDIO – Only play for 25% of the time, only work on one sound at a time.

VIDEO – Only work on one image at a time or concentrate on slow motion of images.

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?

GET INVOLVED…
To get involved in an OUTPOST performance on the last Wednesday of the month

Make your way to our new venue TETRIS – 36 Phoenix St, Brunswick (2 minutes walk from Brunswick Railway Station) – around 8 p.m.
Bring any cables you need to connect your rig to the OUTPOST/Tetris system
(audio = quarter inch jacks/XLR, video = s/video or composite)
Meet up with one of the OUTPOST volunteers and let them know when you would like to play and in what context (solo or in a group) and they will help get you set up
Rock the house… tell your friends… re-Rock the house

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.

We are excited to have Outpost alumni, producer and sonic landscaper Evil Jed (a.k.a. Gerrard Jenner) doing a feature set at this month’s OUTPOST event – Wednesday August 26 from 8:30 p.m. at Bar Open.

Jed has been sculpting environments for listeners to cohabitate for the last 12 years and his musical output runs the full gamut from pop to experimental, with his latest works having a dub techno/haunted house flavour.
Jed also employs home built electronics and programmed devices into his live sets so expect an exciting performance.

Jammers bring your gear and get it on…

Peaceout
