New Forms Media Society presents Anthony 'Shake' Shakir

  • New Forms Media Society invites you Saturday, Aug 15th when we join FUSE and ISEA 2015 at the Vancouver Art Gallery. As part of this years FUSE event at the VAG, New Forms Media Society will be contributing programming to the outdoor area adjacent to the skating rink. Anthony "Shake" Shakir - DJ - Detroit, USA RAMZi - Live - Vancouver, Canada Attitudes in Error - Live - Vancouver, Canada Nicolas Sassoon - Projection - Vancouver, Canada Anthony "Shake" Shakir (Frictional) - DJ - Detroit, USA Detroit producer Anthony "Shake" Shakir is one of the more underrecognized, underappreciated names in American techno. A bedroom producer since 1981, Shake had an important role in helping shape the early Motor City sound associated with artists such as Juan Atkins and Derrick May. He worked with May and Carl Craig as a producer, writer, or engineer on several early tracks on Metroplex. His first solo material appeared on Virgin's seminal Techno! The New Dance Sound of Detroit compilation with 'Sequence 10'. Known as something of a techno purist, Shake has distanced himself from the European scene many of his colleagues have turned to for support and his music is stylistically closer to second wave artists such as Mad Mike Banks and Claude Young — hard, stripped-down tracks which owe equally to techno, electro, hip-hop, and funk. Shake's visibility and reputation have risen in more recent years as a result of his Frictional and Puzzlebox labels, the latter of which he formed in 1996 with fellow Detroit electro / techno producer Keith Tucker (formerly of Aux 88). Recent years have seen Shakir releasing music on labels such as Wild Oats, Morphine Records and FIT. This will be Anthony's first time appearing in Vancouver. RAMZi (Total Stasis / 1080p) - Live - Vancouver, Canada RAMZi is the solo project of Phoebé Guillemot, a Vancouver based (from Montreal) self-taught composer. She began to explore Ableton Live with the intuition that strangely electronic music would bring her closer to her ideal of organic and spiritual music. What came out after many years of exploration is this lysergic tropical musical world integrating elements of Caribbean, Baleric, Fourth World, dub, jazz fusion, glitch and video game music. Attitudes in Error (ACTING PRESS) - Live - Vancouver, Canada Print off a copy of your work and mark specific examples of where the two works are similar, particularly good evidence is if you can find duplication of unique aspects of your work, for example, if an error in your original has been duplicated in the copy. Nicolas Sassoon - Projections - Vancouver, Canada The work of Nicolas Sassoon makes use of various computer-based processes to generate fantasized visions of architectures, landscapes and domestic environments. While most of his work is published online, Sassoon also materializes his web-based practice into sculptures, prints, textiles and site-specific installations, as well as collaborations with other artists, architects, music producers and fashion designers. Sassoon’s work often explores the contemplative and projective dimensions of the digital, as well as the manner in which computer-generated space can be inscribed within the physical realm.
