Exploding, Plastic & Inevitable

The Cantos gallery and music room were a flurry of activity today as musicians Steve Gibson and Adam Tindale together with multimedia artists Justin Love and Jim Olson sampled some of our instruments to create a live multimedia performance called Exploding, Plastic & Inevitable:

Exploding, Plastic & Inevitable Redux utilizes multiple projectors, a barrage of laptop computers, custom software, live vocals, keyboards and live video processing to create an immersive audio-visual experience which mimics the psychedelic atmosphere of the original EPI event, while at the same time updating the audio-visual language to the 21st Century.” Luc Meier, Swissnex San Francisco.

A digital aberration on the scale of its 1960s namesake, this circus of light and sound presents itself for your explicit enjoyment. “Exploding, Plastic & Inevitable” (EPI) is a pop explosion of electronic music, hallucinogenic video and free improvisation featuring multiple screens of visual excess equally mashed with the adulterated beats of DJ robot_mixeur (Zurich, CH), the electro-techno of Steve Gibson (Victoria, BC, CAN) along with many special guests. Past performers have included I Send Data Live, Adam Tindale, Jackson 2bears, Nuthre, and Agitpop.
