netlag: vapour trails

| October 9, 2008 | the internet!

sorry for the silence. got real busy all of a sudden. normal transmission again soon.

in the meantime, check this out if you are near a computer in the next 8 hours or so:

As part of Melbourne’s Digital Fringe, Netlag sees Audiovisual collectives Plug N Play and Share Outpost, both of whom run regular Melbourne events, combining forces for one night, and extending their experiments to the internet – connecting to performances from other cities, as well as the net-connected roving Mobile Projection Unit.

its a big live audiovisual mish-mash across 5 cities (melb, perth, brisbane, tokyo, NYC). if, like me, you can’t make it to Horze Bazaar in melbourne tonight (or the Tiger Tiger Bar in perth) to see it come together live, tune in to the live webcast at http://netlag.com.au. featuring jean poole (http://www.skynoise.net/) and thugquota (http://www.myspace.com/thugquota) from melbourne, and over in new york – peter kirn, who is the man behind the formidable create digital music and create digital motion

EDIT: its all over now…

“Cool Quotes”

“Psychedelic. Balearic. Straight up pop. Call it what you want, this is memorable music.” keytarsandviolins

“Lush, dreamy future pop that just begs you to dive in headfirst, your heart in close second. Just be careful how many times you dip in – you might find yourself blissfully lost in here.” mess+noise

“Impressive elastic strands of plaited sense associations; extract of flashy disco, pastoral swoon and computer exploration.” threethousand

“A total cottage industry – one guy recording, pressing and releasing his own music – and it’s an example of how to do it right from the bottom up.” Stylus

“A manic journey of sounds, bound by neither genre nor era.” Beat

“Cuts-and-pastes big samples with delicately rendered instrumentation. A party jam. Four stars.” Pitchfork
