Joey and I met with Julia and Tom of Sensate, and Ben of goodgood a few times in the past weeks to plan out the workshop details. It’ll be a fun event, with live music (PC//MM) and people remixing sensate work with Zeega. The facebook event link is here,
Sensate will be holding a workshop on January 27th at MIT—come by and see what we’re all about! Suited for scholars, artists, and scientists who are interested in new modes of publication, presentation, and multimedia scholarship. Stop in anytime between 4 and 7pm. This workshop will feature live music by Plastic Color Math Magic and demonstrations of the new interactive documentary platform, Zeega. We invite participants to build their own multimedia projects using Zeega and explore the future of interactive art and online multimedia publishing with the Sensate journal crew.
This event is free and open to the public.
The Sensate Workshop is from 4-7 tonight at room 144 and 148 on the MIT campus.
Also I really love the logo Ben made for PC//MM (plastic color math magic). You can see it on the bottom right corner of the flyer. Its kind of hilarious. I’ve blown it up here:
And here is a video Sensate made to be projected during the event.

Put up a few PC//MM tracks from the last couple months.
From Pico Picante Vol. 2, in the basement of Good Life. They have incredible bass down there.

PC/MM (Joey and I) will be rockin out tonight at the Lilypad in Inman square, at a show produced in collaboration by Golden Arrows (Alex Hage and Nerissa Cooney) and Pajaritos (Sara Skolnick and Ernesto Morales). This will be great. Last time Pajaritos and PC/MM performed together, Alex Hage of Golden Arrows was there and totally upped the excitement/immersion of the event with dancefloor facepainting. I can’t even imaging whats in store for tonight.
So on the lineup alongside PC//MM and Pajaritos will be DJing by Oxycontinental (Ricardo De Lima) and live visuals by Arthur (Nickolas Chelyapov). Ricardo is the force behind downtown’s DIY esque venue Spectacle- though I haven’t been there it, it was sister/brother/cousin venues with HMSPutnam when Putnam was around, so its mad cool in my books, and by transitivity Oxycontinental will throw down a good show. I’m pumped Nick is VJing, I saw a clip a few weeks ago of his live visuals for the Beaux Arts Ball at Harvard and it was just incredible.

Some press coverage by the weekly dig:
There’s a new Tabasco-fiery nightlife series going on in Inman Square. The Lily Pad is pairing up with local graphic design collective, Golden Arrows, to pay homage to Latin American music via DJs stylings. This Saturday Cambridge is getting down to DJ pair Pajaritos and El Oxycontinental with a performance by PC // MM. Best of all, it’s free and free things are the best things. And the name Pico Picante? It just sounds delicious. Like I want to be eating it accompanied by a margarita. Who doesn’t love to eat, drink, and be merry?

and the Globe as part of their ‘Nightlife: The Week Ahead’ section:
PICÓ PICANTE Organizer Sara Skolnick describes Pico Picante as the first of a series of nightlife events that pay homage to emerging genres that celebrate staples of Latin American music through electronic reworks, such as tropical bass, Moombahton and digital cumbia.’’ DJs Pajaritos and Oxycontinental, perform, along with live electro act PC//MM. July 2, 7 p.m. No cover. Lily Pad. 617-395-1393, www.lily-pad.net

A month ago we were invited to participate in the FIGMENT festival in Boston. I went last year and it was incredible- interactive art for the public, and for free. So I’m pumped to say that WHIRL will be at Figment Boston this Saturday, June 4th, and Sunday, June 5th. I’ll be in London, but WHIRL will go on, produced by the amazing Joey Asal and Shane Patton.
They’ve given us a dark tent for the projections and interactive sound art. So far we’ll have projects that include: new music interfaces by conductiveio, exploration of music by exploring a room by Nick Joliat, a game based on noise by Rob Ochshorn, visuals by Vela Phelan, sounds by Dirk Adams, and DJing by Pajaritos.
And much more. Swing by and check it out. FIGMENT is 11-7 on Saturday, and 11-6 on Sunday.
On Saturday we’ll have animations earlier in the day, with interactive art in the early afternoon, live music at 3ish, and DJing starting at 5.

On 2/14/11, Joey and I performed at the Enormous Room as part of Beat Research, a Monday night series based on the class at MassArt. It was a pretty awesome show with Puppy performing his heavy glitch dubstep and a chill hip hop set by Greene Macheene. The crowd got pretty into the music during our set, which is always a great feeling, and DJ Flack spun some great beats afterwards. Some pics from the show,
