[back to events page]	Art Devices -A night of electronic and acoustic music, performance art, delicious food, and hijinx with Detroit artists: Detronik, The Darktwin, Nefpaj, Adinkra, OmegaMonkey, and Kaleida... Friday, August 23 Doors at 10pm $5 at door The Artists: Adinkra Playing music since the age of 4, Adinkra now focuses on melo-percussive instruments. Adinkra has played and collaborated with people around the world,including Stevie Wonder. One must play with compounds of movement, melody, and passion. The Darktwin Pulsing thick groove-rolling basslines--psychic melody--interruption of clique perceptual nature--live through recapitulation of moments now memory--now move. Nefpaj (transit broadcast records, analog semantics, detroit u.s.a.) Omegamonkey The one man wonder enthusiastically performs with props to his whim: Everything from fire and machinery, to makeshift monkeys. Kaleida A birage of sound, from poems suitable for music or singing, to noise suitable for journeys through mind, body, and all that rhythm ; tones related to one another as to make up a particular phrase or idea. Passages to tweak perception. Detronik Established in 1997 by experimentalists Micho and antiLogic in a remote lab under Detroits Eastern Market. Detronik is a title of an experiment that represents the deconstruction and reconstruction process formulated for an assembly of rhythmic sound devices. The ultimate goal was to research an electronic sound-producing device, then to assimilate the device for interaction with a human subject. This interaction process is referred to as bio-reactive. The experiment, utilizing the detronik bio-reactive process, sought to achieve a complete audible experiencewhere humans interact with sound devices and sound devices interact with humans. Both factors of human/device interaction were to be of equal proportion. Detronik is a live experiment with these devices and the interaction process. All end results known as music are achieved by live manipulations of the sound and its cyclic tendencies in multiple layers. Detronik is not music; it is a message from these devices.
