More Chip Music!!!

 

 

Philly Tech Week Chip Music Showcase at PhilaMOCA April 28

 

 

Philly Tech Week, a celebration of technology and innovation in the city that aims to influence collaboration across various influences, is moving on in full effect. And PhilaMOCA has the honor of hosting a multisensory explosion tonight when it plays host to the festivals official chiptune showcase. The show wouldn’t be complete without tripped out symphonic masterminds of merging chiptune with rock, Cheap Dinosaurs. The Game Boy will be cranked to 11 when mathematical madman An0va brings his lo-fi electronic chaos. Ever since leaving jam fusion group MJ Project, Paul Weinstein has been entertaining the masses under the name Chipocrite. And before he takes the TooManyGames Expo and Lebowski Fest Philadelphia by storm, he’ll be ready to blow you away with his epic compositions. The event will also feature live visuals from VBLANK. PhilaMOCA, 531 N. 12th St., 7:30pm, $5 w/RSVP ($8 w/o), All Ages (Flier by Animal Style) – Bill McThrill

Ever since the warped and brightly colored placards of the psychedelic era, concert posters have been yet another place for art and music to collide. “Sonic Textures,” PhilaMOCA’s exploration of the (literal) pageantry of concert promotion, runs throughout the month of April, but this gallery night adds a special layer of musical appreciation to the mix: a screening of selections from Billy Martin’s (Medeski, Martin & Wood) performance documentary, Life on Drums. For musicians and newcomers alike, Martin’s film features a visit from his very first percussion teacher, explorations of the possibilities contained within each kit, and showcases of Martin’s compositions and improvisations. The fusion of art and music in both presentations brings continuity to this night of cultural re-examination. The oft-overlooked artistry of concert posters and the usual background positioning of the drummer suggests that both subjects were overdue for some spotlight. Live performances from Ghost/Light and Girls Rock Philly will complete the multisensory experience.

Gallery night Fri., April 15, 5-9 p.m., free, exhibit through April 27, Philadelphia Mausoleum of Contemporary Art, 351 N. 12th St., 267-519-9651, philamoca.org.

Shirt

Never in the history of the earth has there been more of a reason to know the exact meaning behind this shirt.  It all makes perfect sense…as 1 out of 4 doctors agree.  Or, is it the other way around?  I don’t know, but what I do know is that anyone who is anyone or even a nobody, looks super sexy when they sport one of these bad boyz.  If you want to look as cool as Dave, and be adored by all your peers…now’s your chance.  The opportunity to touch, feel, wear and love one of these fabulous fashion statements is at your finger tips.  These are quality American Apparel 100% cotton, bitches…printed locally, with a fancy tombstone design by our very own Paul Palcko.  click here and you’ll be the coolest.

He Left Winter Behind

You too can make winter go away and have your very own limited edition signed print of Mark Brabant’s,  He Left Winter Behind. You don’t even have to go outside! Who could ask for more.  Or, do you not want winter to go away?  Thanks, and keep your socks on for now.
