Telecult Powers + Moog, live streamed synth improvisation and reading

"Good afternoon! This is Mike Sugarman from Ad Hoc getting in touch about an afternoon of synthesis and reading that we put together for this coming Saturday, 3/29. There is no cost for attendance, and we will be broadcasting it for the entire internet to see.

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

The Moog Synth Installation at Rough Trade NYC Hosts Sound Experiments Curated By Tom Tom Magazine with Kiran Gandhi (M.I.A.), Chloe Saavedra (Chaos Chaos) and More Thursday, March 20th

"RSVP To Tom Tom's Sound Experiments HERE.

In celebration of Bob Moog's spirit of innovation and creative experimentation, Moog has installed a Synthesizer Residency inside of Rough Trade NYC at 64 N 9th Street in Brooklyn for the month of March. The installation at Rough Trade is Moog's next step on the way to Moogfest, the innovative festival taking place in Asheville, NC April 23 - 27.

The installation is free and open to the public. This Thursday, March 20th, features sound experiments from Brooklyn-based artists curated by Tom Tom Magazine [8:00 – 11:00PM], including:

Kiran Gandhi :: MIA
Suzi Analogue :: Suzi Analogue
Léah Lazonick :: Léah Lazonick
FonLin Nyeu :: Dragons of Zynth
Sean Desiree :: Bells Roar
Jesse Gold
Shelley Burgon
Lola Johnson
Monika Heidemann :: HEIDEMANN
Lauren Camarata
Gabriela Jimeno :: Balancer
Chloe Saavedra :: Chaos Chaos

For 25 days in March, Rough Trade NYC is housing the world's largest modern Moog installation as a mile-marker on the road to Moogfest, and Moog invites all artists in the area to stop by and utilize the space for experimentation and discovery. The residency serves as a physical manifestation of the intersection of music, art and technology, and it is meant to be used as an artist's resource. Although it is free to the public, this is no museum exhibit- visitors are encouraged to interact, engage and experiment with the analog electronics. All are welcome to craft sound as well as bring a recording device to sample the instruments.

All instruments in the installation were hand built in Asheville, NC at the Moog factory. Throughout the installation, Moog employees will be on hand at Rough Trade NYC to assist artist's with the gear.

Stephen Godfroy, Co-Owner of Rough Trade, says of the installation “With our shared love of musical experimentation and innovation, Moog are perfect bedfellows for us. Being able to create and host world-class experiences like this is precisely what Rough Trade NYC is all about; is precisely why New York can safely claim to have the most exciting record store on the planet.”

The installation includes a producers station, drone towers, 10 voice polyphonic analog synth, 6 voice Minimoog drum synth, and over 50 analog effects boxes.

Future sound experiments will take place throughout the duration of the installation, including appearances by Delicate Steve on March 25th presented by Luaka Bop; Dorit Chrysler and Rob Schwimmer on March 28th presented by The New York Theremin Society; Telecult Powers on March 29th presented by Ad Hoc; Gavin Russom on March 29th; and Anna Barie of These Are Powers on a date TBA.

One free ticket to Moogfest, the innovative festival taking place in Asheville NC April 23-27, will be given away every day of the installation.

The residency is open to the public from 11am-11pm daily through March 29th."
