“Sound is the vocabulary of nature.”
– Pierre Schaeffer

On November 27, several artists from different realms of performance and composition will convene at Globe Hall to present an afternoon of acoustic, analog electronic and digital noises, sound effects and tonal music inspired by the musique concréte form and philosophy.
Please note the EARLY start time. This special edition of Concréte Mixer with doors opening at 2pm will be all ages show. We’re hoping that it will be a chance to listen to some stunning music in a great setting; an island of abstraction and experiment after the frenzy of the Thanksgiving holiday. And there’s Globe Hall’s BBQ!

Artist bios:

Spybey started his career in the North-East of England with Zoviet France in the late eighties before moving to Vancouver. It was here that his own project Dead Voices On Air were formed. He has gone onto release 20 albums under that name and continues to perform around the world. Spybey also worked under the name Propeller and was an original member of Download. Spybey was the voice of perhaps their most successful release, “The Eyes of Stanley Pain,” in 1996. After leaving Download he started a series of collaborations, appearing on over 50 albums in a five-year period. Perhaps his most significant honour was being asked to be part of CAN guitarist Michael Karoli’s band Sofortkontakt! and appearing at the Can 30th anniversary shows in 1999. Spybey was a close friend of Karoli prior to his death in 2001 and had toured with him as part of legendary CAN vocalist Damo Suzuki’s Network in 1998, appearing in the acclaimed German TV film by Peter Braatz, “On the Air.” Spybey has recorded and played live with a host of collaborators including Faust, Michael Rother (Neu!) and Dieter Moebius (Cluster), Robert Hampson (Loop/Main), Simon Fisher Turner, members of The Legendary Pink Dots, Mick Harris, Jarboe, James Plotkin, Not Breathing, Orbit Service, Gnome, and Martin Atkins. Most recently Spybey has partnered ex-Zoviet-France founder Robin Storey in Reformed Faction and fellow Download member Phil Western in Beehatch. He has collaborated with film makers, video projectionists, performance artists and dancers. He is currently based in Northumberland, in the U.K.

Stereo Magic (portal in 13 parts)”, the new studio album by Randall Frazier’s project ORBIT SERVICE to follow up the stunning 2011’s deep, melancholic “A Calm Note From The West” is set for release and a N. American tour September 10, 2016 with The Legendary Pink Dots. Having recently finished a European tour; Orbit Service have produced an even more emotional, sometimes cathartic album of spacy electronics, ambient, drones, collages, almost heart wrenching rhythms, intertwined with Frazier’s spot on vocal delivery and lyrics. This is the kind of album that sucks you in deeper and deeper with every listen. What is next? Another plane of orbits? The album includes contributions from Antenna, Armchair Migraine Journey, Ty Hodson and Dead Voices on Air. File under electronic psychedelia bliss with a dash of good ole loner psych bedroom weirdness.

Colorado Native Rod Tanaka began his musical career at the age of 2 when his parents realized he was playing television show themes on his toy piano. They enrolled him in the Yamaha Music method at the age of three. After a year of that, he began formal piano lessons and learned the music theory basics. As time went on he became interested in synthesizers and electronic music, and began to build music devices and Heath kit kinds of projects. He got his first MOOG synthesizer in Jr High School and learned how to play and program it along with learning how to do recording and audio engineering with 2 reel to reel tape recorders. In the 80’s he had discovered Prog Rock and Metal music and took up the guitar, bass and drums so he could record his songs. Having a diverse and wide range of musical influences, from bands like Rush and Van Halen to DEVO as well as listening to Jazz and Fusion styles, it was a never-ending source of interest and inspiration. In the early 80’s he attended Howard Jones’ Humans Lib tour show, it really had an impact, for now music technology was becoming more sophisticated and Howard proved you could make albums and go on tour as a solo act. This led to the 80’s and 90’s where he played in many cover and tribute bands that help him with his songwriting and mastery of the instruments he played. He is also a Photojournalist, primarily Concerts and Celebrity events, where he got to interview and become friends with many major music artists, this provided him and environment to learn about and share ideas with other artists and further helped with songwriting and how to be a better performer.
Rod just recently co-wrote and won the Colorado Music Association’s song of the year for 2016 with. “I Lose My Breath”. Rod participates in many Meetup.com and music related groups and is always finding new projects and opportunities in the music world to embrace.
