Warm greetings!

We'd love you to come and join us at Tost from 8.30 pm on Sunday March 23^rd, to help celebrate long awaited Spring and the release of Henta's new electronic dream-pop album, "Daisy Dancing".

Henta, originally from the UK, is a singer/songwriter and she'll be performing 2 live sets with Marcell Marias, as well as performing songs with her special guests, DJ Muad'deep, David Miles Huber and Ludington GT.

We aim to create a chilled and downtempo evening with electronic grooves, engaging melody and Henta's strong and sensual vocals, together with some cool visuals and chocolate!  

Cover charge $5 and discounted CDs will be available at the Merchandise Booth on the night.

Please check out www.henta.co.uk/events for more details about the performers.

Henta is also part of EMC www.electronicmusiccollective.com who will be co-hosting this event.

Look forward to seeing you!

Hello everyone!

Greeting! This is Olie and I got your email addresses by a variety of means, so please let me know if this is an unwanted message by replying with 'unsubscribe' in the subject line, and my apologies.

This is the first of a quarterly newsletter regarding musical games/projects sponsored and administered by Beep Repaired <http://beeprepaired.com>  and curated by yours truly.
 <http://whiteelephant.beeprepaired.com>
The White Elephant Record Exchange Project was undertaken by 20 individuals in the late part  of January 2008 and will air for the first time on Hollow Earth Radio <http://hollowearthradio.com>  this wednesday March 19th at 9 pm pacific time and will re-air Thursday.

This project involved sampling, composition, and ultimately all kinds of sound making.
Participants were to find the "worst" and "most unusable" 12" vinyl records they could find. Those were then exchanged by random and by whatever method I saw fit. They then had to compose a piece of at least 1 minute 30 seconds (give or take) by only editing and  'creative' playback of the record itself. No pitch adjustment or time stretching/compressing, effects was allowed by digital means.  Just cut and paste, layering, and volume adjustment. This comprises part 1.

These finished pieces were then given to the original chooser of the source record to 'remix' this time there were no restrictions except that the new piece be "based" on the one they were given. Anything goes.

The result is nearly 40 incredibly varied tracks that range from very hummable-mainstream-danceable, to abstract experimental soundscapes.

Here is the list of participants
