*******************************************
Come start the semester right and join us for the biggest electronic music and digital arts event of the year!!!

Special guests, New York based electronic musician, Morgan Packard, and media artist, Joshue Ott, team up to create a lush, hypnotic, and truly fascinating audiovisual performance, ultimately arriving at the "perfect vision for a benevolent future." Combining elements of laptop wizardry with acoustic instruments and real-time sketching, they improvise on what is already an organic process, questioning boundaries between artist and machine. Indeed, Packard creates blissful sonic melodies that draw heavily on ambient and acoustic sounds with classical and jazz elements while still maintaining a loop-based electronic structure. Ott, using custom-made software, creates evolving visual images that have their own unique psychedelic nature, yet always manage to maintain a synergistic connection to the music. Both were featured at the electronic music festival, MUTEK, in Montreal this past spring and have played at the infamous BUNKER party at the Galapagos art-space, in Bklyn.

Following their performance will be the return of the Hemiptera, the experimental techno duo comprised of husband and wife team: Jennifer Clemente and Yanni Ehm, who catalyzed a raging dancefloor at the Pixel lounge in Collegetown this past summer. Hemiptera have been developing its unique state of techno-consciousness, carving out subliminal grooves out of nature's musical musk. Their recent half-year long cross-continent journey across North America provided much of the inspiration for their highly anticipated debut LP, "Home on the Strange", recently released on Quebec's Pertin-Nce dub-dance netlabel. While inspired by the deeper facets of dance music born out of Berlin and Detroit, the duo's drive to experimentation and genre-bending is rooted in the desire to spread electronica beyond its traditional centers, audiences and stereotypes.
