Pro Bono Publico Posted December 13, 2006 Report Share Posted December 13, 2006 Starting his professional career in 1994 Neil has released music on several international electronic labels and also worked in the motion graphics field with MTV, Rockstar Games and The Magnificents. To date Landstrumm has released 5 Experimental Electronic albums, 1 Art-Rock-Blues-Beat album, several 12" singles and remixes on labels ranging from Peacefrog, Tresor, Sonic Groove Mosquito, to his own imprint, Scandinavia. Neil has collaborated with Cristian Vogel, Si Begg, Mike Fellows, Bill Youngman and Tobias Schmidt the best know of which is Sugar Experiment Station. He is native to Scotland but has recently spent 6 years living in New York soaking up Brooklyn and Queens best in lifestyle, culture and music. 2006 sees Neil at the head of a successful creative factory called Scandinavia producing and releasing music, motion graphics and television Ids and a print-based clothes label. New and uncharted music territories are currently being navigated. Essentially a live artist, Neil has built his reputation on uncompromising live performances world wide with shows most recently at Unit?Tokyo, Rex-Paris, Tresor-Berlin and Electrowerkz-London. Bass-Tech beats, Grime, Electro-Techno, Broken-Beat, Miami bass, beat throw downs or dirty swing style-lets stop the pigeons with their holes and get on with the real deal.. Landstrumm creates his classic stomach pumping bass, metallic and melodic clangs and odd funky percussive swing lines live and in full effect. Whistle crew where are you? This isn't some laptop-noodle performance. It's live electronics at it's very best. Supporting live will be Aberdeens very own Kid Quaalude. A prodigious innovater and producer his recently acclaimed "I Love Rock and Roll" EP presented the public with "rauwkus " 8-bit productions of classic rock Anthems. - not to be missed!

Pro Bono Publico Posted December 17, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2006 Ok so you wanted to trip but not risk taking acid or mushies - here's what to do:when one hallucinates it's because the brain is producing alpha waves - these can be replicated by lights strobing at the correct frequency. a guy called Brion Gysen knew this and set about making an object called he called the "dream machine". It's essentially a piece of of tubing with apertures cut into it with a light source in the center and a revolving base. It can be made at home and fitted on top of a record turntable. It really works! In honour of this visionary pioneer (see what I did there???) Scurvy will be creating a dream machine and a giant kaleidescope - these interactive sculptures will aid and enhance the visual experience of the party goers and maybe change the way you see the world (sorry puns are like scag to me).8-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The "viewer" experiences increasingly bright, complex patterns of color behind their closed eyelids. The patterns become shapes and symbols, swirling around, until the "viewer" feels surrounded by colors" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Giles Walker Posted December 20, 2006 Report Share Posted December 20, 2006 Maybe someone should mention that this gig has now been moved to Snafu so lots of people get the wrong idea about Landstrumms music style when they turn up at the the high energy cheese gay night now being held at the Peli that night.I'm sure it would still be quite fun though.....
