11/21 in Philly: Gate to Moonbase Alpha
Hi
Sorry for the plug, but people in the Philadelphia area or desiring a road
trip should check this out. How can you beat innovative music and free
food?
Fri. 11/21, 8pm-12am: Gate to Moonbase Alpha: Infamous monthly series that
presents ambient/experimental/electronic/improv/psych. music with visuals
and
more.
Music from:
Xeroid Entity: Xeroid Entity is constantly exploring new musical territory
by
going beyond the barriers of standard conventions while still drawing upon
classical influences. Their music ranges from light and whimsical to dark
and
aggressive, often within the same piece. Much of it is ambient in nature;
without a discernable beat. When they do play rhythmically based music,
there are
often complex counter rhythms giving the music a poly-rhythmic flavor. The
results can be subtle and spacey without being boring, noisy without being
harsh,
dynamic yet continuous. The members of Xeroid Entity are Howard Moscovitz,
Bill
Fox, and Greg Waltzer. (http://xeroid-entity.com)
Plankton: Trio of Philadelphia based musicians working as an ambient free
improvisational ensemble. The musicians are David Sherick (percussion),
Dave
Champion (trombone and electronics), and David Forlano (toys and
electronics).
They include humor, silence, aggression, gentleness, color, and history.
Like
most Gate to Moonbase Alpha performers, they continue to defy easy
definition.

Justice on a Budget: Experimental, improv, avant-garde, Justice on a
Budget
combines the sound of a classic jazz trio (Upright bass, keys, drums) with
today's electronic innovations (loops, samples, turntables).
