hairysloth — Mon, 07 Feb 2011 20:49:23 +0000

“Gift of the Magi” is a tale of doomed love told with marionettes, set to live music by A_Scissors. It will be performed in its 25-minute incarnation at the Audubon Park Community Market, held in the parking lot of Stardust Video & Coffee, on February 7th, 2011 between 9PM – 10PM. This performance is free to the public thanks to the generous sponsorship of ArtsFest, a project of United Arts of Central Florida.”

As described by Thuderhag, “In the Thunderland Forest, gilded bushes grow from the ashes of the SunBirds who lay their eggs in acorn shells hung from their branches. A SunBird lives for one day, then burns like a Phoenix that does not rise again.”

Michael Mcnabb vs alGARhythm – “Durty Laundry”

hairysloth — Tue, 11 Jan 2011 08:01:27 +0000

On occasion, certain members of the Hairy Sloth Family do get together and collaborate. As life, art, existence aka survival, and most of all individual styles don’t often allow for successful collaborations. When they do happen and are successful at that in one way or another, it is usually synergistic-ally sick and super inspiring. This was the occasion back in 2008 or ..9, hard to remember, when I lugged a Korg drum machine/synth and KP3 over to my boy Mcnabb’s studio to see what we could do together, if anything at all. -Being that he’s a master Software Artist n’ programmer n’ a seasoned Vinyl/Digital DJ and I’m more of a Hardware Nutter and all around kind of eccentric maximalist. What we found out w3rked best in this instance of musical meshing.. was for Mr. Mcnabb to record some of my “affected” drum loops and even more effectively, my arpeggiated melodies run thru my KP3 and into his computer. He then took it all and sliced n’ diced it up like an auditory master chef with Ableton Live and dropped my reconfigured melodies into & on to one bangin-arse beat.

So the track attached below is for the most part a Michael Mcnabb creation n’ beat, infused with alGARhythmic melodies n effects. Too bad it took so long to get it all mixed down and mastered for you all to hear, but we all lead bizzy lives and schedules and hey.. better late than never. Hopefully later in 2011, Mcnabb and I will be able to make some time and energy to collaborate again. Maybe even put a whole EP together? Especially now that we’re both a couple years more experienced and advanced in our on spectrum’s of musical creation. In the meantime enjoy the audio amalgamation of two highly devoted electronic soundsmith’s coming together digitally for the greater good.. and leavin’ you with our:

Extra Notes n’ Info:

alGARhythm and A_Scissors will be driving up from Florida on Saturday to do their best at mingling and enjoying some of the other acts on Saturday night and Sunday afternoon and evening before their own gigs. So if you’re in the N. GA area and enjoy quality live music of different varieties, please swing by and a show some love, introduce yourself, have a drink, and quite possibly hear/see some of the best independent music of the summer of 2010.

*Also, look for a brand new alGARhythm track to appear on the Nophi CD compilation #4. (Track #14 on the comp to be exact) Which should be available at the gig as well as after wards on a few diff websites. Gar and Brian will also come prepared with some special Hairy Sloth merch in form of the HSR Compilation CD #1, the fantastic A_Scissors – “Faster” EP, & some other older albums.. all on compact disk and at bargain prices. Get these albums to get caught up to speed before both of their stellar 3rd Lps drop in the Fall. A good chunk of the material from which they’ll be playing during their Nophest sets.

2010’s NoPhest will be a hoot n’ a 1/2. Don’t miss it! We’re talking well over 60 artists over the course of 4 days time at a mere 15 bucks for the weekend or 7 bucks a day. You just can’t beat that deal and it is only once a year!

Big thanks to Randy Garcia and to the Eyedrum venue. See you Sunday!!!
