Nice media coverage

Got a great spread on Oscillation in today’s Albuquerque Alibi.  Nice.
Did an interview with http://www.solipsisticnation.com yesterday about Oscillation.  Very cool, it will broadcast this coming friday (the first day of the fest)!

friday 9/28

Myself (brian), Kent and Kenny went to the Cell Theatre to meet with Dennis, the owner, and Jen, who will be working with us during the fest.  The Cell is so awesome.  They treat us great, they have LCD screens for us to run visuals on, they’re going to give us a direct line into their Internet, just everything.  The Cell Rules.  This fest is going to rule.

Saturday Night, October 6th:

Alan George Ledergerber - http://www.myspace.com/alangeorgeledergerber - AMBIENT/EXPERIMENTAL/CLASSICAL/IDM - Alan has been making experimental music for quite a long time now, and doing it quite well. Known for playing his bass guitar thru a variety of stomp box pedals and making some devilish sound textures with it, you will have your mind blown by this guy.

Autopoesis - http://autopoesis.burque.info/ - IDM/D&B/BREAKS/AMBIENT - Autopoesis is known for dropping some wonderful breaks and ambience along with making his OWN VISUALS while playing. Not something to be missed.

Audio Buddha - http://www.myspace.com/audiobuddha - TRANCE/BREAKS/ELECTRO/IDM - Audio Buddha has been steadily coming up in the NM scene with a great mix of Trance and breaks, and now with the addition of the lovely live female vocals of Ishtar and the live violin of Nathaniel backed by the heavy beats of Steve, you won’t forget Audiobuddha. If you like trance, SEE THEM.

Raine Vivian - http://www.myspace.com/rainevivian - BREAKS/ELECTRO/INDUSTRIAL/IDM - Raine has been making intelligent dance music forever now, and it shows. A well rounded sound of breaks, dance and some industrial, the live show incorporates Raine and Kelly on keyboards and botkiller’s brother PJ Phlip on turntables and scratching. This is a sound that no one else is doing right now - hard hitting, great vocals and dance heavy.

Dirty Birdies - http://www.myspace.com/cobragroup - AMBIENT/EXPERIMENTAL/BREAKS - A side project of COBRA group, which incorporates experimentalism and some very original composition, in that one person pulls a card from a stack telling members of the group what to do and play. Not one performance is the same as the last.

brian botkiller - http://www.myspace.com/brianbotkiller - BREAKS/PROGRESSIVE/DANCE/ELECTRO-it’s me, I put on the show that is Oscillation. Breaks, vocal progressive, very UNDERWORLD influenced. I bring the party. (I do!)

Nanocrack - http://www.myspace.com/nanocrack - ELECTRO/BREAKS/EXPERIMENTAL/IDM - Nanocrack makes breaks and sound textures to rip right to your core. Live incorporates many members, each dropping heavy beats and sounds.

Political/hard hitting lyrics and synth lines to get you moving. You won’t be let down in the dancing with zRAM.
