Thursday, November 29, 2007
Pi-REM
433 NW 4th Ave (@ Glisan)
Portland, OR
21+, free, 8pm
Pi-REM is shutting its doors next month and Laptop Lounge is going into indefinite hibernate mode. This is your last chance experience top notch, original, live electronic music at Pi-REM! Don't miss it!
================================================
Your artists for the evening...
DIRTY PANDA (Seņor Frio / [SiK])
Seņor Frio: link
[SiK]: link
Frio's solo style holds its roots in electro, yet incorporates the elements of downtempo, house, IDM and techno. He has honed his skills at engaging the listener with his own brand of techno-eroticism while gaining supreme knowledge in rocking the dance floor. Seņor Frio's discography is building quickly including releases on Digital Distortions, Buried in Time, and Merck's top quality techno spinoff, Narita Records.
Local sound artist, Heath Fiddler aka [SiK] brings the duo his immaculately designed sound sculptures. [SiK]'s music has an unparalleled dark and disjointed feel which can be simultaneously overwhelming and irresistible. [SiK] has appeared on local experimental label, Buried in Time, and is soon to be featured in a collaboration on Glasgow's Soma Quality Recordings.
Dirty Panda's mixture of hyperfuturistic electro and dark ambient funk is something that must be experienced live and loud.
MONKEY + 1
link
With sixteen years behind him of making electronic music, Eric Prado is an old-schooler at heart. MonkeyPlus1 favors a straightforward and stripped down approach to craft savory electro funk. Originally gaining some notoriety in the late 90s, MonkeyPlus1 has produced original and remix work for Audio Dregs, Outward Music Company (now Kranky) and others, and played with Eternal Golden Void and Tro Shink. He embodies a bit of Portland's recent experimental history. MonkeyPlus1 resurfaces to share with us what helped to establish our town's open-minded and fun attitude towards electronic music.
CHRIS LEIGHTY (Magnum PA / PGE)
link
Chris Leighty has been making electronic music in the studio since he got his first drum machine in 1991. Before producing electronic music, he played guitar, bass, drums, and keys in various post-punk/industrial bands around Chicago. He began performing live PA in 1995. When he moved to Portland in 2001, he adopted the Magnum PA moniker for his dancefloor-friendly material. Chris also makes up half of the electro duo, PGE (People Generate Energy / Portland General Electro. Under his given name, Chris Leighty explores the deeper, more abstract side of electronic music.
Let's Go Outside opens with a DJ set of original ambient and experimental music.

yeah, this one's going to be killer. in addition to the obvious radness of dirty panda and monkey + 1, i think you'll all be pleased with chris leighty. he's better known as half of pge and also does some fun dance stuff as magnum pa. but his experimental solo pieces are where it's at.
if you like ambient, show up early! i'm going to do a two-hour all-original, mostly-beatless, deep-as-i-can-make-it ambient set. it's extremely likely that you've never heard any of this and will not have the chance to hear it again (especially on that sound system). so come early, grab a beer, and disappear into a dark corner for a proper mindwarping before the beats begin. ;)
we make an effort to record every show, but as the last two proved, shit happens and not every night gets recorded. also, some artists request that we not post the sets. so don't miss it! plus, it'd just be great to get every one out one last time!
see you tomorrow!

re: future lounges... we'll likely start up again next year. rather than rush to maintain continuity after the closing of pi-rem, we've decided to take a break to regroup. we'll do some research and start up again when we're happy with what decisions we'll make next. i'll be out of town early next year on through the beginning of april. it shouldn't be too long after that when we're up and running again.
