*OCTRONICA is the annual showcase of live electronic performance curated by Glenn Swan (Burlap Productions). Each year he is joined by local beat-makers, button pushers and sequencer savants to offer a night of diverse music. Partnering with The Analog House and K.O.T., the event travels just north of the city to the spacious and recently resurrected Cannery Garage; a funky and fantastic venue in Havana, FL. Come test-drive your costumes one week before Halloween and fill your head with tricks and treats from:
• Nathan Pugh - trained on drums, Nathan samples his own playing alongside sweet, left-field melodies and a kaleidoscopic patchwork of vocal sound-bytes.
• Rexford_ - a champion of minimal techno and stark modulations, Keith McCall delivers focused photons of synthesizers and crisp, geometric rhythms.
• Buster Wolf - serving up a full menu of hip-hop and conjuring unpredictable mix-tape beats that are pure street-graffiti for the ears.
• Burlap Productions - Glenn is the Swiss Army Knife of the group with home-made gear and a set stretched between cold polyrhythms and volcanic breakbeats.
Deeply committed to a good show, the sonic sorcery will be enhanced by a backdrop of visuals courtesy of Chris Faupel from the Tallahassee Film Festival, along with a couple classic arcade machines supplied by co-host K.O.T. at the Cannery. A merch table will be on-site (open for cash-based phone apps) and a couple other surprises as well -- not to be missed. Look for the blue octopus guarding the door, wear a costume and get your ears ready for a fest that beats the rest.
