For those of you attending SXSW this year, don't miss the Austin I/O Synth Meet on Friday March 15. The following is in via the official Austin I/O Synth Meet Facebook page.
"We're excited to announce that several manufacturers will be showing their wares at our Synth Meet on Friday the 15th. Including FUTURE-RETRO REVOLUTION, Super Synthesis, Delptronics and Livid Instruments!!!!!
To make things a little more interesting, we asked the artists from East Side Glass Studio to set up their gear too.
Ever seen the glass blowing process? ...pretty incredible
Just received word that legendary Austin Synthesist Rick Reed will be gracing our event with his presence!
About: (From Austin Museum of Digital Art)
"Rick Reed (born 1957) has been creating audio compositions since the early 80's. His works are intuitive studies of electricity, frequency fluctuations, and improvised "on the fly" solutions to symmetry problems in electronic sound. Since 2005, he has centered his live work on using a vintage EMS Synthi A synthesizer processed with various effects devices to create complex macromal drones with a surface of aesthetic elegance and beauty.
Reed, currently based in Austin, Texas, has performed throughout the United States and Europe. Recently, he appeared in 2009 at the UK's prestigious Huddersfield Contemporary Music Festival in ensemble alongside Keith Rowe and former Austinite Bill Thompson. His music has been used by filmmaker Ken Jacobs in three of his experiential films, Spiral Nebula, Mountaineer Spinning, and Capitalism: Child Labor (which won the grand prize at 2006's Curtas Vila de Conde film festival in Portugal, Spain). He also appeared live with Jacobs at Lincoln Center during the "Views From the Avant Garde" portion of 2007's New York Film Festival.
Reed's audio works are available from the labels Elevator Bath, Ecstatic Peace, Pale Disc Japan, Bremsstrahlung Recordings and Beta Lactam Ring. A new double LP record will be released by Elevator Bath in early 2011, which should coincide with a short tour of the east coast."
Our friends at FRIENDS OF SOUND RECORDS will be selling vinyl from their shop at the meet so bring your pocketbooks!"
