Friends,
It's time for the monthly vague reminder about our event this month. This Saturday we'll be at our usual digs at the Artbar at the Gladstone hotel with a night built around a live performance from Noah Pred. Noah is quite accomplished as both a DJ and producer, and while he has been playing some high profile gigs around town alongside artists like Daniel Bell and Sleeparchive nobody has had him play live yet. Vague Terrain resident Naw has been hard at work on his second full length for Noise Factory Record, so you can expect his set to be full of the new material he has been working on. Also on board is B. Kawula a dub/minimal techno producer who was one of the members of the Bit_Rock Alumnae production crew and Vague Terrain resident selector ether.mann. We also will be featuring live generative video courtesy of Mantissa. event details: saturday april 29th, vague terrain presents... noah pred - http://www.metapathrecordings.com/ / http://www.noahpred.com naw - http://www.noisefactoryrecords.com b. kawula - http://www.bitrockalumnae.com/ dj / ether.mann - http://www.serialconsign.com video / mantissa - http://www.mantissa.ca art bar.gladstone hotel 1214 queen street west toronto.canada $5 / 9pm - 3am full details/artist bios available at http://www.vagueterrain.net/content/events.html -- We should also mention that this will be our last monthly at the art bar. We are going to take the next few months to focus on developing the journal both technically and in terms of it's profile in the network of print and web publications we consider interesting. We've been quite fortunate over the past few months and have received quite a bit of press from publications like The Wire and Earplug as well as the expected supported from the online arts community, and we've got some pretty amazing content lined up for vague terrain 03: generative art which will be launched in June. This has made us realize that we really need to develop what we have proposed with these first issues of Vague Terrain. To that end, Greg is currently researching various content management systems and the site will be rebuilt with a completely new PHP driven architecture in the next few months which will also feature an arts/media/music related blog to compliment the journal content with a steady flow of information to compliment the quarterly. We're also planning on an active presence at Mutek this year in hopes of scouting out more interesting audio artists to feature as contributors to the journal. We're not dead in the water regarding events though, we've just decided that we'd rather do a few larger, more focused events a year then a monthly. So a huge thank you is in order to everyone that has supported our night, it's pretty amazing that we have had such a consistent turn out over the past six months with little more then e-promotion and posters in a few choice record stores. Hope to see you out on Saturday, Greg Smith & Neil Wiernik editors/curators http://www.vagueterrain.net
