"Bryan Von Reuter organizes a Tetris battle with live music for your game geek pleasure. Tetris will be projected gonzo-sized on the wall of the gallery and the games will proceed March Madness style. A winner will emerge victorious to take the title and the prize (stay tuned for prize updates). Sign-up takes place the night of the event.
Microfiche are an instrumental four-piece from San Francisco (a five-piece if you count archaic archiving machines turned light-sensitive instruments). Microfiche draw diagrams for your ears and mind. If you were to use the pinnacle of nineteenth-century signal processing technology to transpose the sounds of hope, despair, patterns, the lack of patterns, fear of mechanical men, and whale calls, you would almost have the sound of Microfiche.
White Cloud count Spaceman 3, SMiLE, Neu!, and Phillip Glass among their influences and consist of Shiv from Kenya, Nick from Argentina, and James from Oakland. The Deli SF notes that their precision lies in their ability to generate aesthetic dissonance." (The Lab)
