Joey and I will be performing our music tomorrow at the Enormous Room, as part of Beat Research. We’ve composed this music in the last couple weeks, its more dance structured than our previous work, and much more sample heavy as well- but of course still with that energetic joyful vibe. Should be a good recipe for an exciting show. Swing by and hi-five! Bring your Valentine’s date, bring your friends, its totally free. Celebrate that ecstatic love with collective dance.
Doors at 9pm, Joey and I will begin the beats at 10pm (sharp!).
Voltage is a new coffee-shop in the Kendall area. Amidst all the big buildings and offices it brings a breath of fresh air with its west coast arty cafe feel. They had an opening last friday by Artist Trekker featuring artists from Bangladesh.
Fringe had their holiday party over the weekend. An incredible space to see- in a warehouse space right by Union Square, down a side road, its all too easy to miss. But once inside- you have all of these studio spaces- Autumn’s huge paintings, lots of letterpress equipment (+ temp DJ booth amongst it all for the night), bike shop in the end, a photo booth area, a small skate ramp (wild!), photo studios, cnc equipment, and all sorts of books.
Its a co-working space that combines creativity and professionalism, and in that environment- you could not help but have pretty cool conversations. Its a great community they have created.
Joey Asal and I have been given a pretty wide time slot to curate music for the Spirited magazine release party this Sunday. The theme for this issue is cloak and dagger. Like the last opening a few months ago, Joey and Amanda have created a sweet installation for the magazine, you can walk around and through. At the same time people who are featured in the issue will be there, bringing the pages to life.
Boston Bookfest felt fantastic- a pretty good turnout resulting long lines to the talks. I was lucky enough to find a pass to skip the line and check out the ‘Good Idea!’ panel.
Autumn Ahn will have an installation at the Lilypad. Joey and I (PC//MM) recorded a vocal-sampling-experimental-ambient piece with Autumn for the opening. I really like the visceral energy her recent installations, so I’m pretty excited about this collaboration. Come check it out, it will be a great time. Harpoon Brewery is sponsoring it, and there will be more music by DJ Human.
Hey all, wanted to let you know of a closing reception tonight in the Fort Point area downtown. Art, photography, fashion and film from the new boston fashion+art culture magazine Spirited will be exhibited as well as the recent assemblage installation by artist Joey Asal and electronic composition by Kawandeep Virdee.
Lets get together for a night of music, meeting, and visceral sonic electronic experiences. We want to create a space for people playing with drum machines, synthesizers, digital formats, mixing, and everything inbetween to share their work and engage the community. Something incredible is bubbling within electronic music–> the potential to engage a group to create an incredible collective experience. Musicians are creating uplifting music that you can’t help but get excited about.

We are making the first steps now toward an actively revolutionary music, a music which will not be an instrument of ruling-class “culture”… but rather a force in the hands of the people, a special language belonging to everybody. When this happens, the “concert” will come to resemble other liberated forms such as the party or the day off.
WHIRL is a multimedia event to quench our desire for beautiful works of art in any medium and ecstatic electronic experiences produced by local artists. Its something we can do together. Contactwhichlight(take this out) at gmail(and this) dot com if you have any questions or would like to help out. thanks <3!
