2. 10:45pm - 11:15pm: "Safe 2" (Dave Vosh) - http://www.myspace.com/safe00

Dave Vosh has been working with electronic and electroacoustic music since the early 70`s and has been performing live since 2005 - solo and in various duo / trio combinations. His influences come from the "classic" era of electronic music, the 50`s and 60`s. He wanders the sonic wastelands, searching.

3. 11:30pm - 12:00am: "micFreak" (Mike Cobaria) - http://www.myspace.com/micfreak

From Manila to Arizona, now in Baltimore! The name micFreak was never really intended to be used as an artist name. It was an email address that mic used as an alias in joining egroups. Music runs in mic's blood. He started learning the violin at 8, the piano at 12 but wasn't that happy in playing traditional music. He learned to play the guitar, bass and keyboard during his high school years and joined several new wave bands. His college years was a different trip, he joined an r&b band and played keyboards. Playing other artists songs wasn't mic's calling so he started searching for a new musical direction and eventually found a road that lead to electronica after watching the movie "The Saint" with Val Kilmer which featured the Chemical Brothers' track "The Setting Sun". Listening to artists like OMD, Depche Mode and New Order in his teens, mic easily understood how electronic music could be produced so he bought a pc and learned about MIDI w/ Cakewalk V6. Years later he has developed his own sound fusing melody and harmony with a strong sense of rhythm. Now focusing on dance music micFreak is ready to conquer a new genre of electronic music that would surely be one of a kind.

4. 12:15am - 12:45am: "The Duc D'Angelos Quartet" (Colin Barnhill, Jeremy Berlin, John Sullivan & Ed Baldi) http://www.myspace.com/ducdangelos

The whole of Duc D’Angelos is greater than the sum of its parts; each component may influence other components in a web of incentives, constraints and connections. The slightest change in one part causes tremors everywhere else. The Duc D'Angelos Quartet is dedicated to the idea of non-linear performance. It is music. It is musical form of sound and silence over time but there is no utilitarianism in their approach. They are not useful. They create for the moment, without premeditation. It is décor. It is graffiti via device.

5. 1:00am - 1:30am: "This Is Your Signal" (Jake Carlo) - http://soundcloud.com/thisisyoursignal

This Is Your Signal is an experiment in populist low-fi electro. It's discombobulated but danceable, we hope. These all-original productions were made using free software (Rebirth) on old computers and not a dang thing else. It's proof that anybody, in almost any circumstance, can make music if they set their mind to it. Kind of like how in 1981 you didn't have to be able to sing on key to be in a punk-rock band or know how to play an instrument to mix records, you don't have to have a bunch of money for equipment or an education in electronics to produce electronic music in 2011.
