Four East Coast artists inject a broad spectrum of all-original electronic music into Washington DC at the Grog and Tankard, one of the city's legendary music venues. Midweek summer nightlife vectors towards the weekend as unique digital soundforms merge with the more familiar, evoking moods from mellow to manic, flowing to jamming, foot-moving to thought-provoking as sets blend into a memorable nonstop flow of music and visuals.

*************************************
T.A. ZOOK: Analog sound generations with struck bowls, rainsticks, wind instruments and guitars processed through racks of loopers/fx -- an otherworldly ambience that's difficult to describe; once heard, difficult to forget.

Think: music from a temple in an extraterrestrial dream, emanating from the aether and enveloping you in some indescribable way.

UTENZIL: Computer-based electronic music performed with an assortment of instruments and unusual devices, featuring algorithmic rhythms and intertwining melodies flowing over, around and through an eclectic mix of pulsing effects, driving beats and sonic eruptions.

Think: an eclectic musical experience incorporating influences from Aphex Twin to Zappa, performed using devices you know and others you may not have seen before.

THE LAST OF US : Baltimore's The Last of Us does twitchy flip-flop (a southern Florida version of blip-hop) in the vein of Nobukazu Takumuru, R. Devine, M O Mars, arovane etc. ( http://www.myspace.com/thelastofus )
Think: synthetically stimulated, computer generated beating hearts of organisms as yet undiscovered, rearranged on the fly and amplified a thousandfold.

PROFOLYX: IDM, Electronic, Skrew Wave. Profolyx is a confundity of concept in relegated useless sound. Profolyx seeks to design nothingness out of what was music, he works to devolve the most basic elements of time, meter, and tone into the smallest elements of sounds, which he then re-culpts into a larger more lovecraftien golgoth. (http://www.myspace.com/profolyx). Think: Pink Floyd from another dimension, hurtling across spacetime with no regard for relativity, bitcrushing through an asteroid field with the top down.
