Low Resolution 003
Engines Roar is helping to put on another installment of Low Resolution this month on Saturday, August 21st at the Baby Blue Studios. We were incredibly fortunate to have the Austin Museum of Digital Art on board to bring in a dream line up of friends and extremely talented musicians.
Furthermore, the event is being sponsored by the extremely generous and amazing Switched On; which if you haven't been to Switched On yet, please do yourself a favor and drop by. Switched On is legitimately the modular synth equivalent of every Bruce Willis movie, if every one of his roles was played by a different, rare, and equally amazing synthesizer.
The show starts at 8PM on Saturday, at the Baby Blue Studios directions. It's BYOB so make sure to bring your favorite beverage, ie Lone Star, 40 oz. of Micky's , or some Sparks.
As for the music on Saturday, we have the following artists to peak any area of electronic interest your ear could possibly desire. They are as follows...
Shams New York, NY / Richmond, VA
If sex is bliss, Shams is an orgasm
Shams is a pulse. No matter what form his sound takes, it aches out at you in an undeniable stroke of passion, genius, and raw sex. Often mixing live performance with electronic backing, seeing Shams live is like the blissed out bastard kid Nurse with Wound always meant to have with have with the KLF.
Animal Style Philadelphia, PA
Chip-guitar wielding dance floor champion
Animal Style is a living chip music schematic. His creations range from genre connections to genre transformers and aren’t limited to common rules and regulations of normal sound organization. Known for bringing a heavily improvised approach to chip music, Animal Style with his Gameboy Foot controller + 8bit fuzz pedal, create a unique musical chemistry.
Narwhalz (of Sound) Richmond, VA
Menthol Gameboy, end poem
Narwhalz himself once described his set at “metafiction”. While Narwhalz’s sound comes from a handful of angry interlocking Gameboys, it’s the subtext of his all to real and sometimes humorous dialogue he provides that makes even the 8bit aspects seem like an allusion. Each fevered piece is as much of a poem as it is a critique, and Narwhalz leaves the stage unsure if even it was real.
Wet Mango Los Angeles, CA
Pussy & Bass in Yo Face
Between two undulating GameBoy Colors is Wet Mango. A sucker for the four to the floor, freestyle, hip hop, industrial, and all other shades of electronic music mate unconsciously in her beats. A lover of simplicity, there are thick separated layers of pop music sewn in her use of experimental electronics. Wet Mango is the dirty, the glitchy, and heavy side of chip music.
Oven Rake Olympia, Washington
Epic 8-bit Nintendomancer
Oven Rake was that kid you remember talking to once in high school. He was in a band, and your friend dragged you to their first show. You ran into him later when he ordered some black coffee at your work. He likes what you did with your hair. Don't feel embarrassed, no one in this small town has made it big time yet, he’s just a secret master of an 8bit universe.
Sewn Leather Portland, OR
Smoke ov the Pvnk
Sewn Leather is the brain child of Griffin Pin & John Root. With a dark wave aesthetic and a roots punk approach, music as a whole hasn’t seen the likes of a group of this sincerity since the early days of Suicide and Cabaret Voltaire. Sewn Leather is rides the impossible balance of being perfectly suited for it’s time and a reminder of how perfect it seemed in the past.
