Show And Tell w/Cyanwave & JT Hooker - Wednesday, July 31

Show And Tell continues its biweekly residency at the Living Room highlighting Northwest live electronic music producers. Our next showcase features new works from three multi-talented (and very busy) producers: Cyanwave & JT Hooker.

CYANWAVE



Cyanwave is the collaborative and symbiotic relationship between Justin Byrnes, Keith Kelley and their machines. Well rooted in all aspects of audio creation and manipulation their sound evolves from mutual interests and inspirations into a mind expanding web of sound design and programming. Motivated by improvisational jams and conceptually based experiments Cyanwave cultivates a sonic hybrid of post warehouse rhythms and space-dub synthesis. Together Byrnes and Kelley have pushed their musical and technical boundaries to explore complex and abstract digital expressions of their own moments in time and space. These ideas radiate from the studio through their live performances with constant reaction and reinterpretation by each member. Continually branching out on new ideas, Cyanwave weave a hypnotic journey of inward reflections from distant vantage points for each listener to explore and get lost inside of.

Cyanwave will be performing at Show And Tell a special chilled out reprise of their Photosynthesis set!

JT HOOKER (aka JT O’Neill)



JT Hooker's early musical inspirations came from 80s Pennsylvania garage punk and 90s German Digital Hardcore. Hooker got heavily involved with college radio, creating the University of Pittsburgh's outdoor remote broadcasting events, interviewed a range of musicians while studying at the University of Sheffield (England), and held down the 9-11PM Saturday slot at New York University.

Shortly after moving to Seattle from NYC in Dec'06, JT learned to ride motorcycle and lived on the Pacific Coast from Vancouver > Tijuana for 8 months. Upon his return, JT built an audio/visual mobile station which led to the start of "12hr notice" events- mostly guerrilla-style street parties, announced the day-of. At the now-defunct The Hole (12th + Pike), JT curated the Open Wide film/installation/photography event and helped throw The Hole's last late-night parties. JT has done live, customized video projections and DJs eclectic tunes with Seattle parties/events such as Hard Times (Re-bar + The War Room), Three Dollar Bill Cinema, ETG, Sacrilicious/Convert/Yes @ Chapel, Rough Trade/Vibrator/Fringe/Underwear @ The Eagle, BEDLAM halloween trapeze @ The Emerald City Aerial Dome, and various events at the empty lot of 500 Pine

Show And Tell: Twin Peaks edition this Wednesday!

July Show and Tell Line-up! Twin Peaks edition July 14!

Thanks to everyone who came down to the Living Room last night! Gunnar Lockwood and YaNoMas played fierce and richly textured sets - glad they were able to be part of the night.

Show And Tell has exciting events in store this summer, including a late July showcase with live sets from Cyanwave (Justin Byrnes and Keith Kelley) and JT O'Neill on Wednesday, July 28. But we begin July with our next installment on Wednesday, July 14. In conjunction with the earlier Opening Night festivities of the It Is Happening Again art installment at the Living Room, Show And Tell is pleased to bring you a presentation of a selection of Twin Peaks episodes with live and (mostly) improvised live sets from Citizen Mori, The Googly, and Verse (me)! Inspired by the exhibit itself and our friends who produce Monster Planet each month at Can Can, we will project Twin Peaks on a large screen, cut the sound, and provide our own soundtrack as owls lurk overhead and observe the proceedings. Sounds deliciously sinister, no?!

Join us on Wednesday, July 14 at Living Room!! As always, there's no cover and there are many, many great drink specials to be had all night!

Read more about the It Is Happening Again exhibit with Joey Veltkamp:



"Owls have many different meanings throughout cultures. They are seen as portents of death, carriers of souls between worlds, evidence of sorcery, observers, and alien surveillance drones...."

For IT IS HAPPENING AGAIN, Joey Veltkamp has created a paper mache parliament of 30 owls, each of a slightly different feather (silver, pink, spotted, barn). Opposite this wall of owls, a deer trophy of Brobdingnagian proportions, also made of paper mache, will be mounted. These sculptures directly reference Twin Peaks and speak indirectly to the hipster taxidermy motifs on Capitol Hill, the passé trend of deer art (now supplanted by the latest “it” animal – owls) and the artist’s own sentimental attachment to anything related to deer.

Join us for the reception (and The Living Room's inaugural art opening) on July 14th. Pour yourself a coffee, dust off your Julee Cruise album and “Let’s rock.”
