We're proud to be back again this month with another excellent lineup of local electronic musicians. BloomingtonElectronic.com would like to take this time to introduce you to:

-AUDIODICS- Bloomington, IN

Forged in the mid-ninety’s midwestern underground electronic music
subculture, Audiodics have emerged as Angelia Berry and Jack Kilby.
This capable duo combines vocal and experimental musical performance techniques along with an arsenal of hardware to create the innovative sound which makes them stand apart from the laptop massive. The quest for the purest bass tone in a moving composition has led these vinyl enthusiasts to abandon modern digital playback systems in favor of custom lathe cut records, vintage audio gear, groove boxes and samplers accompanied by a live vocalist.


-ANOSTA BOSS - Evansville, IN
-OMFG, Open Door Djs-
http://www.facebook.com/pages/Anosta-Boss/216983818324196

Anosta Boss aka Matthew Aldridge is a producer and dj born and raised in Southern Indiana. He cut his musical teeth playing in countless bands in his early teens and later falling in love with EDM in '06. Since then he's been producing everything from hip hop, electronica, house, and dubstep with his own unique twist. 2011 has been an amazing musical year for Anosta Boss, filled with plenty of shows, a residency, and even a track released on the highly respected west coast label Machina Muerte. His musical productions, along with his dj sets are always high energy, and highly explosive.

_DJ SSH - Evansville, IN
:scene:, OMFG!, Open Door Djs, -
http://www.facebook.com/DJSSH

Formally known as "E21", DJ SSH started in the Atlanta Rave Scene back in 1996 and has toured all over the US from Atlanta to Los Angeles and back again opening and playing along side some of the biggest legends in electronic dance music. A pinnacle part of "Rave Atlanta", "Stellar Gruve", "Tennessee Raver", ":scene:", "Scene Tennessee", and "Scene Ohio", E21 took a break for family and business in 2005. Now in 2011 with a fresh scene brewing again, DJ SSH is forged from an ever lasting love to improve the :scene: once again.

---------

Another night not to be missed! Come on out, gets you some outstanding original local electronic music and not to mention great service at Racheal's. We'll be bringing back our visual show, bringing in the subs, and hopefully a couple of surprises as well. We can't wait to see you there!

Automatic Thoughts wants to push your buttons

Noah Boyer, aka "Automatic Thoughts"

UPDATE:

Our good friend, fellow performer, organizer and all around good guy, Noah Boyer is leaving Bloomington to forge new electronic territories in the northwest US. Portland, Oregon will be the new home for ‘Automatic Thoughts’, another vibrant creative melting pot similar to Bloomington, except for it’s size. There’s no doubt that the groovin beats and basslines pounded out from Noah’s selfmade monome controller, along with the modulicious gyrations of his joystick will infect the rain soaked peeps out there in P-Town.

Noah’s contributions to the Bloomington electronic music scene will always be remembered and appreciated. His work ethic and generous attitude will be sorely missed. We love ya Noah and wish you only the best in your new adventure!

In honor of Noah Boyer, aka “Automatic Thoughts” Here is the original article we published back in April of last year.  – Mark Kunoff (Founder) July 18, 2011

Original article appeared April 7, 2010. -M<

The second installment of our Speed of Sound event on Wednesday April 14th features 3 new electronic artists. One of them is Noah Boyer, aka “Automatic Thoughts” who will be performing his unique blend of turbulent, hip-hop based beats, formidable noises and euphonious tones.  He will be incorporating his own hand-built control device during his performance on Wednesday evening. Get yourself prepared for a cutting edge experience in sonic exploration fueled by some of the most innovative music software available today. Automatic Thoughts music pushes the boundaries of what we can currently imagine musically and take us on a journey to a future place in time.

Having spent his youth in another nurturing music city, San Francisco, his exposure to punk, funk, reggae, new wave and “lots of world music in my house”, Boyer was privy to the emerging hip-hop scene in the Bay Area. New and upcoming producers or performers often “regurgitate” as opposed to “innovate”, but such is not the case for Automatic Thoughts. Armed with revolutionary software tools designed by visionary electronic musicians for visionary electronic musicians, the means by which Noah Boyers produces his live sound is nothing short of brilliant.

Automatic Thoughts came to Bloomington in 06′ to study sociology and psychology, which happens to be the basis for his clever moniker. He cut his musical teeth using virtual studio software to satiate the beats and noises constantly churning in his brain. As a self-admitted musical neophyte, the computer gave him an outlet for producing the music he envisioned. Those purists who decry the use of laptops for music making and performance should be reticent to prejudge without first hearing the result, especially in a live performance context.

As is the tradition of interviewing those artists on the Speed of Sound bill, we posed a list of questions to the 28 year old Mr. Boyer… Continue reading… «Automatic Thoughts wants to push your buttons»
