Painting by Luke McAuliffe
This first installment of Fluxus a Go-Go will be showing the art work of local artist Luke McAuliffe, inside the Gallery Pod. Luke’s paintings have been featured in two of Ventura’s artwalks. Outside, the gallery will feature 2 live musical performances, also by local artists. The first performance begins around 8:30p.m. and will feature local electronic legend, O. Powers.
O.Powers
O. Powers (b. 1952) developed a life-long interest in electronic music upon hearing pioneering works by Stockhausen, Varèse, and the all-electronic soundtrack to Forbidden Planet, created by Louis and Bebe Barron in 1955–56. He received degrees from UCSD, CSUN, and BSU, pursuing composition with ever-developing technology, and now works almost entirely on computer. But the fifties and sixties live on as well in his music, for which purpose he utilizes a theremin, the instrument with antennas that is
played without physical contact. He invites the listener to journey to unknown planets with his sound-pieces. In addition to performing live electronic music, Dr. Powers has been an instructor in the Ventura College Music Department since 1980. more info at www.messier81.com
Send My Regards, performing at Grady's Record Refuge in 2008
The second live performance begins around 9:45 p.m. and will feature the group Send My Regards. From local label Paper Cuts Records, this avant-garde noise ambient duo will perform live improvised electronics. Justin Cassidy’s and Patrick Rodriguez’s electro-experimental improvisations overlap minimalist substratum drones underneath throbbing oscillations. info at www.papercutsrecords.com
After the live music Fluxus House DJ Dept. McSmoss will play electro acid house music until closing.
