Sonic Boom

So I checked out Emmedia's Sonic Boom show on Friday with a few other members of ALork, to watch our professor Adam Tindale play his e-drumset, along with other sonic artists/musicians. The coolest part was that it was at the Discovery Dome at the Telus World of Science, so like a huge concave screen and intense acoustics. All of the performances were really interesting. I especially liked the group performance of all the artists called The Electron Orchestra Withdrawal. It was really cool to see Adam play the drums, because we never get to see that side of him, only tech-y glitchy computer music side of Adam. And it was really awesome to see four very different artists working so well together, they all complemented eachother without competing sounds at all. Jackson 2Bears performance was absolutely amazing though, you don't hear as much continuous rhythmic scratching in music anymore, so it was a refreshing performance, along with his unbelievable table skills. That guy can work his vinyl for sure! His DJ/VJ set discussed Native Canadian cultural stereotypes, and he used several historical film and audio samples.

I found this video on youtube of his work.


The whole show was really interesting, it was definitely not a typical Friday night!
