Occult of personality

Witch house/drag solo act How I Quit Crack is the electronic gospel of Austinite Tina Forbis. Experience HIQC—yes, the moniker actually refers to Forbis’ life experience with crack cocaine—bathed in black light, rocking glow-in-the-dark lingerie and conjuring her woozy, synthy worship at Synchro Studio (512-B Yale SE) on Tuesday, May 28. Alexandria, Va.-based noise-beat outfit Ca$h $lave Clique, Uranium Worker and a noisy collaboration between Ken Cornell (Alchemical Burn) and Alan George Ledergerber open the gig, and DJ Caterwaul spins suitably spectral tunes between sets. Seven bucks gets you in, and doors open at 8 p.m. Triangles, Tumblr and chopped-and-screwed sound, oh my ...

Synchro proffers Dairyland dark wave sweets tonight

Dairyland dark wave

Everyone needs to get out of the house—no, work doesn't count—every now and again. I personally plan to do some R&R creepin' at Synchro Studio (512-B Yale SE) this evening. What could lure a dyed-in-the-wool recluse like me out and about? Samantha Glass. I've been a fan of Madison, Wis.-based synth hunk Beau Devereaux's work for a month of Sundays, and tonight he brings Burque "synthetic melodies remind[ing] one that moonlight can illuminate space in as striking a manner as any old mass of incandescent gas." Devereaux is touring with stellar Milwaukeean one-woman minimal synth/cold wave act Stacian. Highway dream-pop duo Dripping Rainbow and the inimitable Alan George Ledergerber rep our enchanted local scene. Peep related A/V below. Synchro Studio • Samantha Glass • Stacian • Dripping Rainbow • Alan George Ledergerber • Wed May 15 • 9 pm • $7 • ALL-AGES!

Atmospheric tunes transcend design

Experimental music strikes the right chords

By Annie Swift | New Mexico Daily Lobo

Listening to music with no beat or lyrics might not be for everyone, but it certainly is an experience.
On Monday evening I attended a show at Synchro Studio, where several local musicians performed innovative, ambient music. They filled the space with heavy waves of sound, static loops and synth-y reverberations.
I could only stay for the first two performers, Sonicaust and Alan George Ledergerber, before returning to my perpetual confinement in Zimmerman Library; I will have to catch the other two acts at a later date: Alchemical Burn, self-described as “industrial death noise,” and Uranium Worker, composed of beat makers who are in two other local bands, Gusher and Javelina.
Experimental music is meant to be as listenable as it is ignorable — a sound that creates an atmosphere. For me, it’s also an internal experience that gives room for abstract reflection. People don’t normally dance to this music for lack of clear rhythm and beat, and lyrics are rarely used.
Sonicaust artist Josef Bachmeier said he usually rehearses once or twice before a show to create a general idea for his set, but much of it is improvised. I recommend closing your eyes during a show like this to fully appreciate the peculiar audio experiments.
Sonicaust is a one-man act in which Bachmeier creates a sound he describes as a “synth bath.” He blends dense, pulsing bass and eerie, cloud-like hums using a KORG synthesizer, a loop station and a distortion pedal. The result was a sequence of traveling sound that carried me from a murky swamp, through a tremendous storm and into some peaceful part of the cosmos.
Ledergerber, who booked the show, played a set of psychedelic ambient music while wearing a pink plastic bunny mask. The flier for the event mentioned him with the word “homoerotica” in parentheses. His performance reminded me of the startling mash-up of songs that introduce the film “Contact,” drifting as waves of sound into the depths of the unknown alien vacuum. It felt haunting, like the distant rumblings of dark ether, but I found it mostly enjoyable.
If you are curious about alternative music and inventive local musicians, the Synchro Studio is an excellent venue. Adrian Griego and Corina Sugarman opened the space January 2012, and have since hosted a variety of acts and art shows. Check them out for ambient noise-scape, modern folk, death metal and more.

Six experimenters synch up

By Samantha Anne Carrillo

Tiny Victim

If you lived in Burque during the past decade, you may have seen Justin Mitschelen around town. In the early- to mid-aughts, Mitschelen played keyboard in two laudable local bands, Karen and Manhole. Mitschelen relocated to San Diego in 2004 and has lived there ever since, save a chilly two-year stint in Chicago. He's been working on his noisy, synth-driven solo project, Tiny Victim, for several years and last performed locally a year ago at the Albuquerque Center for Peace and Justice. As Tiny Victim, Mitschelen employs a keyboard, effects rack, oscillator, drum machine and three reverb tanks. Mitschelen hesitates to categorize his output. “It really spans a lot of styles,” he says.

Alan George Ledergerber

Musician Alan George Ledergerber has organized an experimental electronic showcase at DIY venue Moldspores on Friday, coinciding with Mitschelen's visit to his former stomping ground. Ledergerber and Mitschelen, who played together in Karen, will both perform solo at the show. Longtime local noise purveyor and sound guy Ken Cornell will exhibit his trademark knob-twisting, industrial wizardry as Alchemical Burn. Josef Bachmeier, of hard rock band Night Terrain, conjures John Carpenter-tinged horror synth sounds in his solo project, Sonicaust.
Dripping Rainbow creates a freeform sound using thrift store and toy instruments, samples and beat manipulation. The group is comprised of folks who ran the defunct Tree House venue. The band, formerly Reading Rainbow, adopted its new moniker as an homage to local graffiti legend the Rainbow Warrior, says Burque music historian Derek Caterwaul.
Daniel Brigman, who curates Moldspores and microlabel Featherspines, has been performing as Father of the Flood for seven years. Brigman says his sound initially emerged as “minimalist drone-based bass-synth layers.” Over time, he began incorporating more field recordings and raw sounds. Brigman started touring in 2007 and released a second full-length album, The Carcass Which Corrupts Worms, early this year. He says this work is percussion-based and inclusive of black metal sensibilities, with more vocal textures and tape manipulation.
Not even the performers know what order they're playing in at this showcase. There's no lineup scheduled or headlining act, says Ledergerber, who plans to order the acts by a pre-show lottery.
Caterwaul says the unifying theme in this show is a deep and sustained involvement in local music—through performance, promotion and running venues. Whether stalwarts or relative upstarts, these musicians aren't just dipping a toe into the collaborative scene here; they are “swimming in it.”
