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.”

We definitely wanted to make sure you’re fully aware that we’ve been back in action again and have had 3 Fabulously Delectable new albums posted to the site this Fall/Winter.

We take pride in that musical diversity and think you will enjoy the variety of flavors as well. Below are links to each. Feel free to follow them and Download away to your heart’s n ears desire. As usual all of our digital releases here at Tha SLoTH are high quality 320k MP3s and FREE of charge. Of course, you’re more than welcome to donate safely and securely through any of the Paypal buttons you see around the site or to purchase the very few albums that are available in physical formats so far. It all adds up, but more than anything, if you LIKE what you hear, please spread the good w3rd and links along to your music loving friends & associates. And don’t be a stranger, c’mon back by now and again, cuz 2011 is going to be our most prolific year yet.

No joking, these are two absolutely, spectacular re-imagined burners of a couple of classic tracks. Again compliments of our newest contributing member of the Hairy Sloth family, and easily our most dance floor friendly recording artist. -Mr. Michael Mcnabb.

hairysloth — Thu, 01 Oct 2009 06:29:09 +0000

With – “Flours (Part One)“.. Mr. “A” Scissors kindly offers us and fully exhibits auditory songsmanship at it’s finest. Craft, control, poignancy, and masterful melody are on full display in the smooth song that you will find beneath this sentence. Look for a similar mastery of sound in a full length format on the upcoming A_Scissors LP, which is due to hit the shelves, airwaves, & hard-drives by the end of 2009 or early 2010.

Event: “Fangs Out! in Miami” | A Scissors, alGARhythm, 7 other performances + Mad Projectionz – 10/30/2010

A_Scissors & alGARhythm to provide Soundz for Art Installation by: Doug Rhodhammel

hairysloth — Wed, 20 May 2009 04:58:44 +0000

Description: A non-stop 3 hour A_Scissors & alGARhythm musical performance & accompaniment for visual artist Doug Rhodhammel’s new art opening entitled: “Larva“. Doug will also be building a rather large “something” for his installation portion of the evening, and he’s been kind enough to invite Brian and Gar out to supply all the auditory inputs, impulses, and impetuses for the occasion. So with these 3 artists of multiple mediums working in tandem for the greater good.. *Expect amazing things to happen. For this is definitely a one-of-a-kind event exploring both auditory AND Visual arts simultaneously, in conjunction, and with enlightened functions.

This is also the first time that A_Scissors & alGARhythm will be performing with each other, and not as separate entities. (*And the first time can only happen once.) They will be exploring everything from pure ambiance and sound collage, to full-on bangin’ live electronic music. This performance might well be the harbinger that pushes their new “Death To False Love” project closer to the surface and forefront.

A_Scissors & alGARhythm are surely looking forward w3rking with such a talented, productive, and visionary artist as Mr. Rhodhammel. They’re also super-excited about the extended horizon time format. With 3 solid hours to explore, be ready to go on a full-feature and full-figured auditory journey.

Bah-Boom!
