Substrata: O'Neil, Rauelsson, bvdub + Mayberry
$45
The inaugural evening of this year’s Substrata is as far ranging in its forms as it is the approaches employed in creating them. Spanning the spaces between software sound sculpting and acoustic fingerpicking, it is a night of great variance and broad stylistic references. From progressive branches of the songwriting continuance, to chamber music describing a formalistic dialog between natural patternwork and the piano, to tapestries of electro-acoustic sound design and rhythm structures. The three artists touching on multitudinous points throughout the last century of modern music, the only constant their transcending of collocation and the constraints of singular genre concerns.

About Substrata
Substrata 1.5 is the 5th edition of Seattle’s intimate sound & visual art weekend happening July 16 – 18, 2015.
As the name substrata implies, it is about subtle aesthetics that go beneath the surface and into deeper aural territories. At its nucleus: an all-ages live performance program, workshop, and field recording trip within the beautiful Cascade region of the Pacific Northwest.
The idea behind Substrata is to explore varying perspectives of scale though the use of sound, composition and visuals. It features three live performance showcases featuring accomplished and internationally renowned artists working within the cutting edge where structural abstraction meets physical dynamics. The performance program focuses on live electronic music: applying technology to a concert setting while incorporating traditional and non-traditional instruments.
Substrata 1.5 will be held at the Chapel Performance Space and presented in collaboration with Nonsequitur. As all previous “sold-out” editions, tickets are pre-sale only and there will be no tickets available at the venue. Please do not show without a ticket or festival pass.
