Theologian (New York, NY)

Theologian – Abandon All Hope

“Bartow consistently plays rougher than,say, Lustmord or Coil (darker, too -the title track finds him deploying textures corrosive enough for power electronics), hardly surprising given his former life as dimension-hopping electrobrutalist Navicon Torture Technologies. As Theologian, he brings way more nuance to the dissecting table without sacrificing anything in the way of decidedly alien – and utterly welcome – responses to the vicissitudes of mundane existence.” – Rod Smith, DECIBEL #72

Theologian’s set will be composed of industrial/synth/drone that hangs somewhere in the darkened shaft between love and death. All new material will be tested for the first time, as a combination of preparation and improvisation takes both the audience and the performer to uncharted regions.

Diagram A (North Hampton, MA)

Diagram A – Go Dead (excerpt)

Diagram A began in 1995 with the “Compression and the process of turning red” cassette, live gigs followed consisting of primitive electronic experiments and modified guitars. The guitars faded over time for a more abstract electronic sound. In 2000 Diagram A’s focus became using homemade devises exclusively for live performance, and recordings. The visual aspect of performance also became important, ground sausage, lights, zombie rot and modified video games were some techniques employed.

Bereft (MA/PE/FU)

Bereft – Hidden Agenda

“Effortlessly blending Death Industrial atmospheres with Power Electronics aggression, they seem to be deft at creating something outside the status quo for underground noise. ” – J., plaguehaus.com

Initially a solo project of Peter Lee (Force of Nature Productions), Bereft created a dense, rhythmic blend of death industrial and power electronics. In 2008, Andrew Grant (The Vomit Arsonist, Danvers State Recordings) joined Lee as a full time addition to the act. Now a two piece, Bereft is stronger than ever, spewing forth more structured and focused sounds than ever before, with Grant and Lee collaborating on the music, and Lee writing the lyrics. Lyrically, the band has a mission, a statement: but a live performance must be witnessed to truly understand the intent of the act.

Raab Codec (Providence, RI)

Raab Codec – The Swarm

Robert Galbraith, previously known for his darker strands of electronics as Codec and the label operator behind now defunct Component Records now reverts to his roots as Raab Codec. Keeping busy with his latest start-up label Subspec which crosses over to more upfront technoid channels, he revealed Life Amongst the Wires on Mujura Digital, a conduit for digitized audio explorations. Having already established the technical aspects of post-industrialized exp-electro over the past decade, Raab Codec is back in full swing as his life amongst the wires storyline begins to unfold.

Taking elements from a handful of genres including electro, dub, post-industrial, acid, drum’n bass, dubstep, experimental and a slew of analog synth noodling, Raab Codec’s latest would segue quiet well against Not Breathing’s rhythm machines and early Datatheif productions. Bridging mid-90’s melodic pulsars tied to current-era data processing, the whole package feels as raw as it’ll ever get. Pure to its core, encrusted beats, whirs, clips and clangs whip around darkened atmospheres and Jenn Vix’s vocals appear mid-stream to round things off. Diving into each track would be an exercise in futility as they’re essentially soaked in the above-mentioned genres and yet somehow manage to piece themselves together like ashes falling in the night sky. So as these mechanically enriched slabs of utter bass, beat and danceable grooves slither above leftfield terrain, Raab Codec ensures a smooth landing. There will most certainly be something for everyone to grasp onto within Raab Codec’s maze of wires.
