It’s that time again, little robots! Come out to Park Grounds in Atlanta for Nophest 4 & 20 - two stage, tons of bands, April 18-20.

Anyone who is going to be in Miami for WMC should stop by the Sony Poolside Cabana at the National Hotel where I’ll be laying down a live FlightDynamics Mix for the Remix Hotel festivities on Friday night at 6pm. I’ll also be performing as part of 3kStatic on Saturday night with special guest Parthenon Huxley for what promises to be an interesting little shakedown. I’m really looking forward to catching some of the other sets this weekend (Richards Devine and Hawtin come to mind) and will be braving the elements as it were … anyone in the area, drop me a line!
This weekend is Nophest 4.20, featuring the debut of Harmaline on Saturday night (midnight) and 3kStatic on Sunday (7:30). A Wonderful Time is Guaranteed for All.
Dialing in, burning, triple-checking, schooling, focusing. Tomorrow I leave out to join Dean3k down in the FL for our little RemixHotel soiree’ - My sweet little debutante Sugarknife is accompanying me, to be revealed to the remainder of the human race once we make it back… Let’s go break some legs, eh?
Anyone down Miami/WMC way can check 3kStatic 8pm on Thursday, Logickal at 7pm on Friday and JPunch (or perhaps an encore performance from 3kStatic) 8pm on Saturday at the National Hotel on South Beach.
Is here. Anyone else going to be in Miami next week? Drop me a line if you want to meet up somewhere!
Alright - A quick pre-Thanksgiving reminder to all you ATL folks to come out to Nophest, a weekend-long festival of music and crafts being sponsored by our good friends at Nophi Records. Friday night’s entertainment consists of a large number of laptop/electronic performers inside, including yours truly at 10:30. It should be a wonderful evening for all kinds of glitchiness, so come out to the 11:11 Teahouse - everything starts at 8pm on the 24th, and costs $10 a day or $25 for a weekend pass.
In other Logickal news, DJB is getting video up from the Buzz and Click show back at the beginning of the month… You can check out the Logickal performance in Real Video or Windows Media (what, John??? No Quicktime!?!) or head over to the Buzz and Click 4 page for the rest of the artists… 3kStatic should be up in a day or two, methinks.
So, happy holiday - and hope to see some of you in Atlanta!
Check out the last.fm event pages for Buzz & Click and Nophest, listen and dig on the artists thereof!
Logickal is finally going to get some ATL-style love courtesy of our friends down at Nophi Recordings, who are hosting the first ever Nophest over the weekend of 24-26 November. Big, huge, dirty ups to Threv and R_Garcia for inviting me down. Although the page lists me at 1:30-2:00 AM on Friday, I think I’ve been moved to 10:30-11:00 (also Friday). Hope to see some of my Atlanta-type friends out there for the free beer!
On Saturday November 4, that monster that DJ B and I created is shuffling back into town - That’s right, it’s Buzz and Click time again! On the advent of this 4th installment of the Mid-South’s premier electronic music showcase, the net has been cast out a bit further this year, bringing more artists from the greater South East and more variety to the evening’s entertainment!

Once again, it’s being sponsored by WRVU Radio , and the $5 goes directly to benefit the radio station. Because of the number of artists on the bill, music starts promptly at 8, so don’t be late!
Executive Summary
Buzz & Click 4, Saturday November 4th - The End (2219 Elliston Place) 8pm - $5
Oh, and keep your ears/feed readers peeled for a podcast with these fine ferlks in the next few weeks!
In about an hour, Lilith and I are hitting the road with 3kMan Dean Capone to make the trek to meet our NYC Destiny at The Knitting Factory. If any of you are in the New York area, come out tomorrow night to get a dose of our road show, featuring two men in jackets laying down some seriously danceable grooves with the Remote 25 and the MacBook. Our journey is shaping up to be a urban techno trek across America, in many ways similar to Fellowship of the Rings… minus the little people, kings slumming as rangers in the wilderness (okay, so Angelique thinks this one is appropriate, for some reason), Elves with bows and that whole “one ring” thing. Oh, and we’re a little short on Gandolfs, too. Maybe it’s more like… Hmmm. No, it probably isn’t.
So, setting out armed with the MacBook, iPod, $50 worth of magazines and my crappy cameraphone, and I’m hoping I can document this little adventure I’ve gotten myself into! Stay tuned.
Woo! Thanks to everyone who showed up to the 3rd Edition of Buzz & Click this past Saturday night - especially Hijexx, Flynn23 and Don & Marissa! Even more thanks to everyone who performed and made it as great as it was! Extra Especial props need to go to DJB and the 91.1 Staff for getting it all together. Thanks also to Brass for featuring some of the new EP on his show Sunday morning. I’ve got a ton of stuff to update around here, so be looking for info on the new release in the next couple of days.
In the meantime, pictures of the evening can be found at in my Flickr photostream, in the Buzz & Click 3PO photoset. The Lovely Angelique was the photographer, and unfortunately was working with a nearly-full CF card, so Satellite City was the last act to be photographed before she ran out of space - sorry about that, everyone!
But really - there were fantastic performances from everyone - great video via DJB and Kip - a great venue and a great crowd. What else can you ask for?
Nashville Scene - Our Critics Picks
A nice writeup for this weekend’s Buzz & Click 3p0. On the plus side, they were kind enough to use my photo. We’ll cut Jason Shawhan some slack for not mentioning me (or LSB, or Tomorrow Ishikawa, or Bluff Duo) in the writeup itself. 
They also used a snippet of a new track in their podcast for this week. Thanks, Nashville Scene!
Still working feverishly to finish up the new EP in time for this weekend… Also need to get a good rehearsal in. Good thing I work improvisationally, eh?
Still working on a new podcast. You can choose your own adventure with this one. I’m either:
- Working feverishly on both a new episode of the podcast and a live set for an upcoming perfomance (see below). OR…
- Playing videogames, surfing the web, messing with my new bicycle. OR…
- A little of both, plus watching the kids because the wife is working her new job and playing around with psychedelic video for possible inclusion in the performance.
You be the judge.
In the meantime, all Nashville-area readers should definately stencil the date November 5, 2005 on their calendars, digital watches, sundials, dayplanners, blackberries, palmpilots, whatever you have. Why? The third edition of the annual Buzz & Click showcase, sponsored by and benefiting Nashville’s finest radio station (Vanderbilt’s 91.1 WRVU) and featuring all the best electronic and experimental music Nashvegas has to offer. Here’s the lineup:
8-8:25 Matt Hamilton
8:30-9 Birdfeeder
9-9:25 Let’s Say Baltimore
9:30-10 Bluff Duo
10-10:25 Logickal
10:30-11 Satellite City
11-11:25 3kStatic
11:30-12 Athena Blue
12-12:25 Jensen Sportag
12:30-1 Ishikawa Tomorrow
It happens Saturday the 5th at the 5 Spot and is a measly 5 bux (Detecting a theme here?). Come out or be forever shamed!
The third week in April is going to be a busy one for those of us around here at OffnominalHQ… We have not one, but two killer shows coming up that week. Everyone in the Nashville/Mid-TN area should try to make it to these gigs, as they promise to rock.
First up, on Tuesday Apr19, we’re welcoming R_Garcia (check out Nophi.net and randygarcia.com for more info) into the fold to lay his bleep science and bit shimmying on the unsuspecting crowd at Hair of the Dog. Rounding out the bill are Logickal, Qlippoth and, fresh off of the Japanese leg of his world tour- Mr. Natural. Great depth and breadth here in this lineup, folks - and the sound at the Dog is awesome. In addition, tune in to the Mixdown on 91.1 WRVU this Sunday (April 10) for a taste of his music and a phone-in appearance by Randy himself. Cover is $5.
Then, on Thursday the 21 we’re proud to be involved in bringing three artists we really admire to Music City - Keith Fullerton Whitman, Greg Davis and The Birdshow are playing at Angle of View. If you aren’t familliar with these guys, we can only recommend that you get with the program (Hint: Visit Kranky’s website)! This is going to be an evening filled with the best in left-field electronics. This is a special show anyway, but it’s being made even more unique by providing the venue for the reunion of 9R3R023 - the 90’s dark experimental duo that spawned Mr. Natural and Logickal. We’re really looking forward to collaborating again after so many years, and it promises to be a unique experience. It’s a $5 show - for a lineup like this, an incredible bargain.
There’s a ton of other stuff going on right now, and once we make some headway and things settle down, we’ll post the details here first. As always, if you have any questions, feel free to comment, head over to the messageboard and drop us a line.
A quick shout to the Nashvegas noise types - there’s a great show this Friday, March 11 at Angle of View featuring -
Justice Yeldham, aka Lucas Abella - Sara Galaxia - Crayola Filth - Mr. Natural - Catheter Stretch - Qlippoth
This is what The Nashville Scene has to say about this show in this week’s Critic’s Picks section:
JUSTICE YELDHAM The next month or two promises a bounty of shows for fans of noisy, experimental and just plain outré music. Headlining a packed, and intriguing, bill this weekend is Australia’s Justice Yeldham, the stage name for one Lucas Abela, whose setup consists of a contact microphone, his entire face, a piece of glass and KY jelly—which should conjure up a pretty vivid picture of what to expect. If that sounds like it ain’t exactly up your auditory canal, it could still be pretty fascinating to watch. (A good, sturdy pair of earplugs might also come in handy.) Also on the bill is Sarah Glakzia, a Mexican experimental-electronic musician about whom we don’t know much, save that she has requested three mops, three metal buckets filled with primary color paints, and a huge white cardboard to put behind the stage. Along with St. Louis’ Ghost Ice, three local performers will appear as well: Elijah Earls’ new Qlippoth project, Waverly, Tenn.-based Catheter Stretch, and Mr. Natural, a longtime mainstay of the Nashville experimental scene.

Showtime is at 9pm, with a $5 cover. Check it out, and see you there!
Been relatively busy the past week or so, so sorry about the lack of new updates longer than a few words long… Been working a bit making some long, very drone-oriented peices using that little gem of FM synthesis called Operator, which has been fun. Once I get a few of those finished, could a mini-release be too far off? I have received a couple of new submissions to the Treatment Plant project, which I need to get onto the webpage ASAP… sorry about the delay!
Working with Mr. Natural on mastering and artwork for the next two GLK releases, trying to get those together before he embarks on his world tour (dates and info on the shows and the final details of the releases will be here in a day or two…). He’s going to be kicking off the tour with a gig on Friday 3/11 at Angle of View, opening for Lucas Abella. Qlippoth and Catheter Stretch will also be performing, so it should be a good noisy time. The lineup and further details can be read about here.
Working on artwerk for the CD release of Logickal’s SewageTreatments. Can’t wait to be done with that. Working on the final specifics, but have a couple of great (perhaps even incredible) shows happening in April… stay tune-ed!
For those in NYC, make sure to check out the screening of Incognito, a short film by my brother. This Saturday, (26Feb) 8pm at The Glass House Gallery. Follow the link to the leron’s crib blog to see the trailer!
leron%u2019s crib � Blog Archive � Incognito
EDIT - You should still make sure to visit leron’s crib, but you can also check the trailer at the Incognito Movie site. Do it.
I would be remiss if I didn’t mention that our friend Qlippoth
is kicking things off at The Muse tonight, opening for 62 Degrees Latitude - Mr. Natural and I will be headed out there to make sure it all goes off the hook properly.
