Roulette Presents Mixology Festival, 3/7-8

As consumer electronics move into a "post-PC" era of tablets and smartphones, Roulette's 2014 Mixology Festival looks at the newest ways electronics are being used to make music. The current landscape hold no singular primary means of communication; the Misxology Festival co-opts analog and digital synthesizers from the past, explores the touch screen as a modern performance instrument, and designs open source programming platforms and DIY circuits for personalized music making.

This year's Mixology will feature performances by Pete Swanson, Outer Space (John Elliott of Emeralds), Ben Vida, M. Geddes Gengras, C. Lavender, Loud Objects (Tristan Perich and Kunal Gupta), and Laraaji - with presentations and workshops by Brian Crabtree and Ezra Buchla on Monome's Aleph Soundcomputer and Peter Blasser on his instrument "The Shnth" and its programming front end "Fish". Throughout the two-day festival, a record fair of local electronic music imprints such as Software, RVNG, PAN, Shinkoyo plus the artists' merchandise will be held in Roulette's lobby.

The full program includes Pete Swanson, Ben Vida and C. Lavender on February 7th at 8:00 p.m.; Roulette Kids: Laraaji on February 8th at 1:00 p.m.; and Outer Space, M. Geddes Gengras and Loud Objects with Greg Fox on February 8th at 8:00 p.m.
