Stellar OM Source (Holland)  Washes of electronic waveforms toss you to and fro, beyond and back, over and yonder. The concoction perhaps recalls your favorite kosmiche stew of yore, but all the ingredients are now. Christelle Gualdi is Stellar Om Source. After some really great collaborations with members of NNCK, Tony Conrad, Thurston Moore, Embryo, The Skaters, Kuupuu and Uton, she’s undertaking a short solo tour of the east coast to celebrate her most recent solo record on Black Dirt Records.

Infinity Window (Brooklyn) duo of Taylor Richardson (Prehistoric Blackout/Sunburned Hand Of The Man/Purple Haze) and Daniel Lopatin (Oneohtrix Point Never)  “Well beyond ‘mere’ drone/loop automating, this is deeply focused, sensual tone float that combines the most mind-altering new age specifics with Industrial grime and sensual dream logic. Beautiful and highly recommended.” -Volcanic Tongue

Mark McGuire (Cleveland)  ”Solo guitar and tapes from Mark McGuire of Emeralds in a heavy minimalist proto-Europe Endless/Kraftwerk style, with delayed arpeggio guitar chopped into melancholy metronomic waves that provide a beautiful backwards transport. Some of the guitar playing reflects on such classy F/X inflected moments as Cul De Sac’s “Doldrums” but there’s also a weird, UK folk aspect that would join the dots between Flying Saucer Attack and Nick Drake.” –We Are Up for Sale

Enumclaw (Philadelphia)  Kicking off the jams this evening is Fishtown’s pride and joy, Enumclaw (aka Norman Fetter of Niagara Falls). This is some of the toastiest mind-melt you’ll come across, show up “fashionably late” to this one and you’ll be taunted over missing such sonic sorcery.
