Phiqual Poynte used to be known as Fecal Point, until detractors took him to task over the disgusting optics concerning his moniker. But ever since changing the spelling, he still remains one of the most reviled music artists to ever emerge from Canada. On the other hand, Europe has been more favorable to the artist, who has contributed recordings to Institute For Alien Research for a number of years

VIDEOS: Mutant Beatniks - Modulor (3:59) Artist info:J Daniel Cramer has been involved in the arts for over forty years, both as a jazz musician and a composer involved in electronic music. With a strong focus on modular synthesis and generative, stochastic programming, J Daniel's You Tube channel has become well known for large complex works that push the boundaries of polyphonic, electronic compositional programming. At the request of well known electronic musician Colin Bender, J Daniel designed his most vibrant piece to date and the seven movement work, The EXODUS, was recorded live in the Netherlands.Links: https://www.youtube.com/c/jdanielcramer https://queertunes.bandcamp.com Mutant Beatniks a commencê en 1986 avec une formation en constante êvolution, centrée autour de Monster. Depuis, il y a eu de nombreuses pêriodes d'inactivitê, tandis que d'autres projets parallêles et de nombreux enregistrements ont êtê perdus au fil des ans. Divers membres se sont joints et sont partis, de nombreuses cassettes de bruit inaudible ont êtê faites, vendues ou données, pour n'être jouées qu'une seule fois, et la plupart du temps pendant quelques secondes seulement. Il y a une histoire selon laquelle une fête à la fin des annêes 80 a êtê gâchêe par un album de Mutant Beatniks accidentellement sêlectionnê parmi une pile de cassettes. Des annêes de non auto-êêdition, un espace ouvert est arrivé, et dans cette clairiêre se trouvait un ensemble de sons sans ego. The Mutant Beatniks a commencê avec l'idêe de produire des morceaux de forme courte de Music Concrête, Noise Music avec une pointe vers la pop étrangêre. et breakbeat. Plusieurs albums ont été produits, dont les exemplaires n'ont pas vraiment circulé. Après quelques années, tout s'est tu, puis après un autre intervalle : 2001, quand ils ont recommencé en trio, à nouveau du matériel a été enregistré, la plupart ont été perdus. Le nom est dérivé de l'idée de la musique future, Mutant comme dans les sons à distance développés transfigurés et morphing ; Musique. Et le genre de musique que les beatniks modernes fous écouteront.

Wayne DeFehr
Artist info:Wayne DeFehr has received classical piano training through Toronto's Royal Conservatory of Music, wrapping up several years of studies when he noticed that, while prepping for the final exam, his Grade One piano teachers kept quitting. He has since branched out to work in more experimental forms influenced by the sounds of the city, including snow-clearing graters, racing ambulances, and the street crews of the summer. His work has been performed in various parts of the world of Edmonton's experimental music scene to standing room only crowds - where seating is limited to the bathroom and well 3 is technically a crowd. The reviews at the bar after have been reasonable, ranging from - What the . . . - to - How long have you been doing that for ..." Wayne believes sound can bring people together, causing a groundswell, a grassroots movement, regardless of political stripes, based on shared aversion. Not normal music – almost accepted by freaks and other interplanetary travellers.https://www.waynedefehr.com/ |
