For this installment of the Mister at the House Of Yes, we’re happy to announce that we’re doing something we’ve been hoping to do for a long time now – incorporate live music into the party.

Justin and Eamon will DJ almost all night long, and all the trappings that make the House of Yes extra special – comfy seats, a full bar, a disco ball, and our big blue sound system on all four corners of the wood dancefloor – will still be in place; but at some point earlier in the night, the guys will be handing the keys over to a trio of very talented and ingenious acoustic and electronic musicians from Brooklyn called Archie Pelago.

at House of Yes / 342 Maujer St between Waterbury and Morgan, Brooklyn / Saturday, February 11th / 10p-6a / $10 before midnight with RSVP to mister@mistersaturdaynight.com / $15 otherwise / map to venue / 21+*

Quite a few new posts this week, but partially it’s due to the fact that our Booyant rework, the Mary Anne Hobbs debut, and the Sonic Router video mix dropped roughly around the same time.  Anyway, here’s a link to the full Sonic Router interview (with the video mix at the bottom).

Quite a few new posts this week, but partially it’s due to the fact that our Booyant rework, the Mary Anne Hobbs debut, and the Sonic Router video mix dropped roughly around the same time.  Anyway, here’s a link to the full Sonic Router interview (with the video mix at the bottom).

The Archie Pelago trio make electronic dance music with the intention to move people, both physically and emotionally. Combining a more ‘traditional’ approach to writing music with the love of being caught up in the moment in clubs, the New York based trio have slowly been making an impact on the way club music is digested live. I remember, around the same time I was getting into the group’s music Well Rounded’s Donga mentioning their remix of Distal & HxdB’s ‘Booyant’ the night after KingThing played it from the edge on Sub FM. He said it was something different, something out there, something that had to be heard. These are all very accurate observations from the reliably informed Donga, but I would also argue that Archie Pelago tunes are something to be not just heard, but seen.

Big thanks to Joe Moynihan (@veridisjoe) and Oli Marlowe of Sonic Router (@sonic_router) for the words.

Here’s the full unedited Sonic Router video mix.

Sonic Router has reviewed our Distal / HXDB “Booyant” rework also features the full un-edited version of the tune.

From Sonic Router

There is a danger in ‘live’ musicians covering electronic music, to funk it up too much so it sounds like a cheese ball version of it. It’s natural as a musician to want to put your own stamp on it, but what Archie Pelago seem able to do is uphold the line between serious improv and the dancefloor. That respect and immersion in club culture they talk about here is patently obvious in this arrangement and what they’ve done here stands out like a bat signal for the righteous possibilities of what their formula can produce…

If you want to hear me go deep w cello, Ableton and Max 4 Live, I’ll be giving a talk at the Devotion Learn Ableton user group in Williamsburg, October 13th 7p.  Excited for this.  Details from the website below:

An excellent article on Archie Pelago by the Peter Kirn at Create Digital Music came out this week.  They laid out our whole ouvre to-date in the post, primarily focusing on the technical elements of how we do what we do while also highlighting our creative output to-date.

An excerpt:

With laidback, exotic grooves and richly-coordinated interlaced cello, saxophone, turntable, and electronics, Archie Pelago’s music relies on some serious technological savvy. To be sure, all you really need to play instruments and computers and turntables together is to get into a room and start jamming. But to realize their specific musical vision, the trio of Hirshi, Cosmo D and Kroba have turned to an advanced Ableton Live rig, centered around The Bridge to couple Serato and Live.

…

To be honest, after a lot of launch hype, it hasn’t always been easy anecdotally speaking to find a lot of people using The Bridge. The software, combining Ableton’s clip-launching facilities with Serato’s digital DJ setup, perhaps demands a lot conceptually and musically of its users. But boy, are these three using it – and pushing its envelope to the breaking point.

ARTIST BIOGRAPHIES

GREG ‘COSMO D’ HEFFERNAN is a producer and cellist who’s background in
classical music, jazz, studio production, and electronic music have
given him a distinct musical identity.  On stage, his cello
improvisations combined with bass-influenced electronic dance music
and DJing provide a one-of-a-kind listening experience.  In the
studio, both solo and as 1/3rd of the production crew Archie Pelago,
he melds electronic and acoustic instruments with original beats and
textures, always providing an emotionally impactful vibe to his
ever-evolving sonic palette. cosmod.net

DAVID LAST is a musician and visual artist living in Brooklyn New
York. He is a founder of the Konque label and music project.  His
tracks range from electronic dance music to cinematic orchestral
ambience depending on the setting. This is not surprising, as he has
been creating music for a variety of venues; the dancefloor, Imax
film, video installation, childrens’ animation, and albums. As a
result of a broad curiosity about music, each project is considered
anew as its own sonic world. davidlast.net

DOK GREGORY has been composing, performing and recording experimental
electronic music since 1983. He has toured and performed in festivals
throughout the United States, Europe, Russia and South America. Dok’s
audio-visual works have been featured in programs at the Forum Des
Images in Paris, Basel Art Fair in Switzerland, The Kitchen and
Lincoln Center in NYC, to name but a few. In 2007 he began work on the
ISRS system (a shortwave radio synthesizer) and continues to research,
development and deployment the technology. Dok has also toured and
collaborated extensively as a member of Silence Corporation, Psychic
TV, Trance Pop Loops and the Ransom Corps.

LESLEY FLANIGAN is a New York-based sound sculptor, composer,
vocalist, and performer. Inspired by the physical materiality of
sound, she focuses on amplification itself as the subject of her
performances, which weave sound from her voice with hand-built
feedback electronics. Her performances have been presented in numerous
venues, festivals, and art spaces internationally including the
Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, Issue Project Room, Sonar (’10
Barcelona; ’10 Chicago), Transitio_MX (’09 Mexico City), NIME (’08
Genoa; ’09 Pittsburgh), ICMC (’07 Copenhagen), and Bent (’08 LA; ’09
NY) lesleyflanigan.com

ZEMI17 is a composer, musician, sound and installation artist based in
Brooklyn, NY.  He is the co-creator, composer and art director for the
Gamelatron, the world’s first fully robotic gamelan orchestra. He is a
featured artist of the Berlin software company Ableton Live, teaches
audio production at Dubspot, performs with the group Zero Gravity
Thinkers, and is the resident DJ for the legendary Danger warehouse
parties. He has received grants and awards from the Mid Atlantic Arts
Foundation, The Trust for Mutual Understanding, New York State Council
on the Arts, Indonesian Foreign Ministry, The Berlin Arts Council, EU
/ European Commission, James F. Robison Foundation, and The Soros
Foundation. zemi17.net gamelatron.com

Hello,

Hello,

As an admirer of stylish and and minimal websites, I decided to streamline mine even more.  I also thought I’d take the opportunity to put up some new music I’m working on w/ Archie Pelago over the past month or so.

Here’s a remix we did for Falty DL’s ‘Brazil’ tune.

Here’s a tune we did called ‘Frogtoad’.  This one’s a bit of a 6/8 number.

Finally, we’ve got artwork for our “Chocolate Waveplates” EP coming out on Slime in June.  Check it out, along with some preview tracks. 

Archie Pelago‘s “Rena” remix is the sixth track on the Submerse and Resketch “Distance” EP, out now on Slime Recordings.

Enjoy!
