MDC at Ocularis: bang the FX

The multimedia cabaret-sters at Maison Du Chic are proud to present an evening of electro-acoustic music along with integrated visuals to benefit the Ocularis spring season.

MIXEL PIXEL – Existing within the seemingly disparate intersection of 8-bit electronics and psych rock, NYC-based Mixel Pixel are a riveting audio/visual experience, implementing original and exclusive projections from Paper Rad and Retard Riot among others. http://www.mixelpixel.com

SOFT TRAPS with visuals by MIGHTY ROBOT – Soft Traps are a new and somewhat introspective collaboration featuring Diego Hadis and Eric Tsai of Saccharomanic Targets on synths, loops, and drones; Justin Simon on guitar; and Spanish performance artist, Elissa Santiago manipulating her own vocals. Mighty Robot, Brooklyn's legendary visuals team, use Brakhage-cum-60s-psychedelic-lightshow techniques to contemporary (and often dizzying) effect. http://www.mightyrobot.org | http://www.mesh-key.com

THE MITGANG AUDIO – Ray Sweeten has created visual music with oscilloscopes for nearly 10 years, fine tuning his form as Harvestworks's Van Lier resident in 2002. Still, his oscillographics performances are only given on rare occasion… http://www.themitgangaudio.com
