SIGNAL : LONGWALKSHORTDOCK (LIVE) & INKWELL (LIVE) + ANDY CLOCKWORK took place on Saturday, August 22, 2009 10:00 PM - 3:00 AM
at Lotus Sound Lounge
in VANCOUVER BC. More details on the event are below.
Longwalkshortdock esentially started the first time Dave King heard gritty electronic music in early eightys videogames. Strongly influenced by these sounds and melodys, Dave started recording and looping segments as a child. He also got a taste for sampling and recording; Taping segments of his piano practice to fool his parents into thinking he was practicing in the other room. Dave then noticed he was writting his profile in the third person......... After briefly considering the pretentious implications of doing this he decided to continue on with it. After the early years of video game loops, longwalkshortdock went through many years of musical genre infidelity and learned to play many instruments in many styles. After collecting gear, ideas, and collaborators, Dave decided to move from his home town of Calgary to Vancouver to take a degree in sound production and recording. Dave has worked in the studio and played live shows with a host of talented artists. Some highlights include : Playing Live @ Soundwave Music Festival w/Phil Western 04/05, and Opening for Alex Patterson (The Orb) solo @ Soundwave 07..... god i love Soundwave.... anyway, Since then longwalkshortdock has been putting together a large body of work both for album release this year (2008) and for live use in the hopes of creating a positive ear related experience. Also, watch for some remix work, some already available on Beatport.com. Dave also hopes to do some recording and production work for some of vancouvers more talented up and comers like Mike Soviet. Dave then decided that was enough information in the Bio for the time being and decided to stop adding to it right in the middle of typ
Inkwell
***********************
In 2004, cinch (Cam Smith) and litewait (Ryan Trann) met while studying audio engineering at the Art Institute of Vancouver-Burnaby. They became friends and created “Inkwell”, a product of two minds from vastly different backgrounds. The two bring their musical flavours together to produce a unique combination of techno and house; aggressiveness and subtlety. Rocking homemade gear in their live performance, these two Canadians are involved in all aspects of techno production. Truly jacks of all trades, you’ll find them designing sounds, hardware, and software, all as a means to an end; a seriously bumpin’ dancefloor. Minimal Techno is the backbone of their set, but it often veers in other more diverse territory without warning. Their spontaneity and improvisation when playing live, provides for a unique experience each time and the energy they put forth on stage translates to the studio effortlessly. Their productions vary, mixing genres and ideals, but in the end it always comes out sounding fresh and clean. Based in Vancouver, they’ve been performing in and around western Canada since 2006 as a part of the Danksoul Recordings crew, with whom they release with.
SiGNAL at the Lotus Sound Lounge has consistently brought the goods for the best in electronic dance music. Our resident DJs have been rockin' the decks with assorted local and international talent joining them throughout.
