Come experience the live aural soundscapes of Tim Rideout as he builds layer upon layer of improvised electronic grooviness for accordion ace “NANO” in their must-see-it-to-believe-it night of experimental house.
Goran started knocking down walls in his house. We all rejoiced, yea, verily and merrily. And then, lo - magically - born of post-litigation, pre-barbecue madness - a jam happened.
Tim Rideout’s been living and working in Montreal and away from his hometown of Freddy Beach for a long time. What’s he been doing besides pining for a fresh lobster dinner and Stompin’ Tom? Why, becoming an elite electronic improviser and wannabe DJ while prepping for Harvest Fest, of course.
What do football moms and live experimental electronic music have in common? They can both be hot and loud in a minivan. But don’t take our word for it - download this magical journey of jamtronic hotness and turn up the heat during halftime.
Watch and listen as Tim creates electronic music pieces live, on-the-spot, using various improvisational techniques on the Korg Kaossilator. This unique instrument is an iPod-sized synthesizer that fits in your back pocket, is played with one finger, has no standard keyboard and sounds un-freaking believable.
Tim Rideout rocks out on the new Fisher Price FP7742WTF keyboard. But is this Digital Renaissance Man content to just pump out a
spontaneous phat jam at a children’s party?
Rob, Goran and I have been jamming more often as of late, getting back into a regular routine, gaining momentum as we explore the possibilities of experimental, live electro-acoustic hybridized improvisations. As the rust comes off, there’s some pretty cool stuff underneath.
When we arrived at the studio, eager to say hi, we offered our hands in customary greeting. Why did people turn away? Why did they run? Did our alcohol chaser not mask our grease-laden shame?
Sometimes it’s great to just grab a mic, bang shit together and record it.
