COMiNG Tuesday July 11th . Canartic and InsideAMind Austin's Jon Coats and Randall Peterson formed Canartic with bass player Gerard Smith in 2002. Canartic utilize dub and downtempo styles as guides to collage electronic shapes around simple grooves. The chilled results are then injected with a dose of psychedelia, courtesy of heavily processed guitar. Finally, samples round out the mix, providing listeners with hints to the ideas behind the music. Live, Canartic perform as a duo, with Coats dub mixing in real time from hard disk, and Peterson adding treatments and his processed guitar. http://www.dankdisk.com As the definition of the word "DJ" continues to expand, INSIDEaMIND emerges in Toronto as a four man scratch band, further stretching artistic boundaries by performing live original compositions with vinyl. The scratch musicians, as they call themselves, bring forth a unique angle to what a group of DJ's/Producers armed with instruments called turntables can create. By developing outside the often limiting battle-oriented mindframe that scratching is too often associated with, the crew is bringing new life to this ever evolving artform. http://insideamind.net . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . * Other Toronto area sonic/visual events of interest this week: * Wednesday July 5th .
