There is this huge Moog installation at the Rough Trade store over here in Brooklyn, and we figured it would be fun to use this opportunity to play with Billy Corgan's recent Siddhartha debacle. [posted here]
From 3 to 6 PM EST on Saturday the 29, Mister Matthews and Witch Beam will unite once again as Telecult Powers, performing a continuous improvisation on this massive Moog set-up while friends of theirs read from the very book they named the band after, Reese P. Dubin's Telecult Power.
Ad Hoc will be recording and live streaming this via ustream for all the internet to see. Consider the candle-lit happening a kind of cybernetic ceremony of the occult, in the grand tradition of other electronic mystics such as Mort Garson, Maryanne Amacher, and Bruce Haack. Witch Beam, in fact, is immersed in Cleveland's theosophical community, and tends to call Michael Bertiaux the spiritual mentor of Telecult Powers.
That evening the members of Telecult Powers will also be performing at The Ho_se in Bushwick. Witch Beam will be performing solo and Mister Matthews will be playing in his new band THE CARVER with members of Grasshopper. Both Mister Matthews and Witch Beam have just released solo tapes out on 905 Tapes. Mister Matthews builds modular synthesizers as True Color of Venus.
Attaching the flyer and providing all the requisite links. Below, you'll also find a list of all the gear at the installation.
Hope you dig!
Best,
Mike
