OCTRONICA 3

OCTRONICA is the annual showcase of live electronic performance curated by Glenn Swan (Burlap Productions). Each year he is joined by local beat-makers, button pushers and sequencer savants to offer a night of diverse music. Partnering with The Analog House and K.O.T., the event travels just north of the city to the spacious and recently resurrected Cannery Garage; a funky and fantastic venue in Havana, FL. Come test-drive your costumes one week before Halloween and fill your head with tricks and treats from:

• Nathan Pugh – trained on drums, Nathan samples his own playing alongside sweet, left-field melodies and a kaleidoscopic patchwork of vocal sound-bytes.

• Rexford_ – a champion of minimal techno and stark modulations, Keith McCall delivers focused photons of synthesizers and crisp, geometric rhythms.

• Buster Wolf – serving up a full menu of trip-hop, Louie Castro-Garcia conjures unpredictable mix-tape beats that are pure street-graffiti for the ears.

• Burlap Productions – Glenn is the Swiss Army Knife of the group with home-made gear and a set stretched between cold polyrhythms and volcanic breakbeats.

Deeply committed to a good show, the sonic sorcery will be enhanced by a backdrop of visuals courtesy of Chris Faupel from the Tallahassee Film Festival, along with a couple classic arcade machines courtesy of co-host K.O.T. at the Cannery. A merch table will be on-site (open for cash-based phone apps) and a couple other surprises may be brewing for the night — not to be missed. Look for the blue octopus guarding the door, wear a costume and get your ears ready for a fest that beats the rest.
