The Fuse Factory's March Frequency Fridays event, taking place on March 4, 2011 at the Wild Goose Creative (2491 Summit St., Columbus 43202) features plunderphonics, dark ambient, and experimental electronica with The Evolution Control Committee, Central Inhabitants, and Noisiv Litcat. Doors open 8pm. Admission: $5.
About the performers:
For over 20 years, The Evolution Control Committee has built a reputation as one of the world’s leading mashup bands, making experimental pop music in a style that has never quite settled on a name. Mash-up? Plunderphonics? Plagiarhythm? Whatever you call it, The ECC assembles samples and sounds into cut-and-paste masterpieces. It’s illegal music, and long before computers made it easy to be a copyright criminal, The ECC was violating copyright laws the hard way.
Jeff Chenault aka Central Inhabitants has been involved in the Columbus electronic music scene since 1983. His early experiments were unannounced noise improvisations. In the late 80′s, he founded the Exoteque Music label and would release over 60 cassettes of original music. His multiple collaborations include James Towning of Fact 22, Mark Gunderson of the Evolution Control Committee, Andy Izold of 10-Speed Guillotine, and Chris Phinney of Mental Anguish. In 1989 he formed the influential cyberpunk band 10-Speed Guillotine with Andy Izold.
It’s been about 15 years since his last performance in Columbus, but Stevey Seven’s recent kitty NOISIV LITCAT is springing to life with it’s first public purr of electro funk rhythm noise. From humble beginnings in the early 90′s of one-off litterbox recordings, various projects and experiments, Noisiv Litcat is the result of a thorough brainwashing and neural deterioration, crawling out of the alley dumpster with a little dadaist and early industrial tooth and claw mixed in; a toxic mess of electronic music and sound sculpture that runs the gamut from old school electro to noise to IDM.
