Atlanta Strip Clubs: Atlanta music news: CunninLynguists come home

Posted on May 17th, 2011 in Atlanta strip clubs

On May 12, Recompas (aka Travis Thatcher of Judy Chicago and the Voice of Saturn) performed two sets in Times Square as part of the Urban Remix Times Square Project commissioned by the Times Square Arts Alliance. Through a series of April workshops with students and artists, about 700 sounds were initially recorded in Times Square. Thatcher manipulated some of these sounds to create his own bustling work of musique concrète. Thatcher’s pieces are up for download via the project’s SoundCloud page. No additional synthesis or sampling was done to either of his compositions, although they were filtered, compressed, delayed and reassembled to create a minimalist sense of rhythm and a maximum sense of place. The results are a sharp contrast to the recordings Thatcher composed in 2010 for the Atlanta Beltline Urban Remix project, which was based on the sounds of nature and urban decay.
A trailer for AKA Blondie, the documentary film that chronicles the life and times of the Clermont Lounge’s most famous stripper, has surfaced on the Internet. The film is still in production, but keep your ears peeled for music by New Animal, Cassavetes and Superpill.
