RICHARD DEVINE
Warp Records/Schematic Records/Apshodel/Sublight/
is an Atlanta-based electronic musician. He is recognized for producing a layered and heavily processed sound, combining influences from old and modern electronic music. Devine largely records for the Miami-based Schematic Records. As a result of praise of his music from Autechre as well as a remix of Aphex Twin's Come To Daddy, Devine recorded an album for Warp Records which was jointly released by Schematic and Warp.
Devine first started using computers for composition around 1993. Don Hassler, an instructor at the Atlanta College of Art, got him interested in computer synthesis, introducing Devine to CSound and other powerful computer-based applications. Devine claims he coded a couple FFT applications in SuperCollider, an environment and programming language for real-time audio synthesis. “It’s interesting, because you’re doing things to sound that just aren’t physically possible.”
Devine also uses Native Instruments (NI) software. His favorite NI applications are Reaktor and Absynth. Devine has also designed sound patches for NI’s Absynth. He has also scored commercials for Nike and Touchstone Pictures, and engineered and performed his own music worldwide.
RANDOM RABBIT
The MetroGnome Agency/Abstract Logic Recordings
In 2007 coming off the heels of their first album, the Rabbit immediately began recording tracks for their sophomore effort, The Book Was Better (released February 2008, Abstract Logic Recordings). The album continued to note the band's fascination with combining the elements of acoustic and electronica. Random Rabbit began incorporating more of the electric guitar that had become a staple of the live show, resulting in a more aggressive product that maintained the ever-present joyfulness of past Rabbit tracks.
In addition to increasingly prolific studio sessions, Random Rabbit found time to play their first major outdoor festival at Atlanta's Echo Project. The band also played four marathon late-night radio sets in Atlanta and Tampa, performed as special guests on Royal Caribbean's "Solar Sessions" Cruise and shared the stage twice with Public Enemy's DJ Lord. The year culminated in the form of a jaw-dropping, six-hour, three-set show at Liquified Atlanta's "Toasted 2K8" New Year's Eve bash.
Random Rabbit's live show has become a thing of legend in Atlanta and beyond. The band's loose approach to their songs allows for awe-inspiring improvisation, giving any audience an undeniable excuse to dance all night long. As 2008 unfolds, new toys and instruments are being introduced into the live format, new songs are being unveiled at every turn and new fans are flocking en masse to see an emerging young band at the top of its game.
ERNEST GONZALES
Exponential Records - San Antonio Texas
In the last several years, Gonzales has recorded a handful of underground releases under the alias, Theory of Everything. With each release, Gonzales’ sound has grown and evolved from experimental hip hop to electronic lullabies inspired by the birth of his first daughter.
In 2006, Gonzales released a label compilation called Collapsing Culture that received praise from both press and radio. ReGen magazine even named Collapsing Culture as one of the best CD's of the year.
With his latest and first official release, While on Saturn's Rings, Gonzales takes his sound in a different direction by incorporating live guitar and allowing more of his influences to surface. While on Saturn’s Rings is playful and psychedelic yet contemplative. The music is a mash up of styles from indie rock and hip hop to 8 bit video games and down south beats….but you can call it whatever you want to.
**This will be the first time Ernest has made the trip to Atlanta**
KIDS WITH CODENAMES
The MetroGnome Agency
Musicians and friends since 1996, Jason Choate and Stephen Thomas are the Gemini-twins and twisted minds behind Kids with Codenames. Genres do not stick well to these shapeshifting artists. Throughout their decade-long career, Kw/C have dabbled in every form of musical expression from acoustic folk and gangsta rap to drum&bass and ambient electronica. With roots as promoters in the twilight of the Atlanta rave scene, Kids with Codenames quickly made a name for themselves as iconoclasts. They were the first in the ATL to take Ableton's "Live" software to the dancefloor, dropping wildly executed house and tribal mashups in crowded clubs and afterhours parties. Now they've returned to their earliest form as singer-songwriters, fusing pop sensibilities and futuristic stylings along with a production ethos of "anything and everything in between." The result of this full-circle journey through art and time is a collection of funky, soulful, and sincere tunes that burrow out a place to live inside your head. Forever. Stay tuned for updates on the long-awaited new album.
**The Kids have been working hard on some new numbers for this show, expect to see a new setup and some new hotness, and lots of cowbell**
