Aphotic Segment 005 w/ Jeff Risk - Sept. 29th

Sometime ago, a Chthonic scroll was uncovered by a group of miscreants...... supposedly from the clammy environs of a nearby swamp, only to be brutally abused, set ablaze, and launched into the local atmosphere where the sacred ashes radiated like wildfire.

This cataclysmic effect resulted in a group of cavernous, subterranean misfits transfused by the cosmic cinders strewn about the city. Having been ostracized and banished in...to the darkness of night and colossal depths of the oceans, these misfits emerged from their abysmal confinements nearly five months ago to unleash a lethal brand of ritual among the sheepish hordes and unrelenting drudgery of their slavemasters. This ritual falls every last Wednesday of the month. This ritual is called Aphotic Segment.

Pleased to announce its fifth and most exciting edition yet, Aphotic Segment welcomes local shaman and musical curator, Jeff risk, as he spins a web of nebulous and riotous beats that will be sure to permeate the purlieus of your impenetrable minds. As always, featuring resident selector, Drew Pompa.

Aphotic Segment 003 | July 28th 2010

Aphotic Segment 003 was the liveliest of the monthly's yet.... and to much surprise, as summer night attendance saunters towards the docile nature on a typical Wednesday late eve. The collection of characters was also a nice addition, for the evening offered a mosaic of misfits, hobos, Londoners, Baltimoreans, and local tipplers.... just the way I like it.

Aphotic Segment 003 also showcased its first guest for the monthly series, featuring the fine stylings of George Rahme. George has been collecting records since time immemorial and that is only one of his many hobbies. When George isn't clobbering your mind with sci-fi soundtracks or spin-drifting to surf rock, he's making some serious art. currently, George has a collection of pieces on display at Gallery 2739 in Hamtramck on Edwin street. The exhibit runs until August 14, so check it! More info for George Rahme can be located HERE.

Join us again on August 25th for Aphotic Segment 004. In the mean time, enjoy the excellent musical concoctions below.

Aphotic Segment 002 | June 30th 2010

Aphotic Segment 002 by Aphotic Segment

Aphotic Segment 002, entitled "Equatorial Melodies and Musical Fodder", offered a varietal yet quaint selection of records from tropically inclusive geographies (afro-beat, tropicalia, latin electronic,etc..) but deviated often into an array of forms that included german electronic, punk, psychedelic slow breaks, and a little bit of soul/r&b.

It has also dawned on me, that as I continue with this series, I will probably provide both a dominant theme every month (although not exclusively) and will also start rotating special guests to keep the Aphotic Segment fresh and with an open perspective. Join us again this month on Wednesday, July 30th 2010. Special guest TBA. Tracklisting for Segment 002 is included below. check it!

Aphotic Segment 001 | May 26th 2010

The first installment of the Aphotic Segment at the Woodbridge Pub had proven to be an entertaining evening, to say the least. Good music, great friends, cheap booze, and little distance of travel madee for a cumulative success. It certainly felt like the varied and psychedelic nature of the segment contributed to a heightened level of intoxication, without inducing a full-on libation coma. It also provided a great opportunity for me to unveil a rough edit of mine and my brother's new track "C.A.P. & Pipé Scuttleworth - Sunrise".

If you didn't attend this month's segment, then join us for the second installment on June 30th, 2010. Also, As you anxiously await the second installment, feast your ears on the recording of "Aphotic Segment 001". tracklisting is included below.

Introduction to Aphotic Segment

Words By: C.A.P. & Pipé Scuttleworth.

"Aphotic Segment” is a monthly endeavor aimed at the exploration of the seemingly divergent worlds of both electronic and traditional music. The goal is to distend the audience with a cacophony, in an environment suitable for a listener's total immersion.

Too often sound is presented myopically, in a context that focuses on a particular scene or style. The current structure often serves to narrow the participant’s exposure, frequently at the expense of the broader spectrum of what already exists or what may be.

With our monthly, we will attempt to parse the infinite, to help induce a musical imagination ripe with lizard androids, gothic relics, and outer space travel. Here, here fine friends! Our time is too limited to suppress the curious nature of humanity and its lovely soundtrack. We cannot grow unless we continue to search the abyss.

In addition, this blog is committed to connecting the listener with each month's recorded segment. Stay tuned for estranged audio vibrations and more.
