MakeMusic TalkMusic: Interactive Party @ Beauty Bar Sat. 3/14



Saturday, March 14, 2009 @ Beauty Bar – MakeMusic TalkMusic presents a truly interactive evening of music, films, robots – and dancing – during SXSW Interactive and Film. Live music, world premiere videos screenings, and Maker Faire-friendly demos culminate in memorable talk of crunk sounds, staggering sights, and things that go bleep.


Music meets the talk of the blogosphere @ MakeMusic TalkMusic

Indie music makers known for dynamic live performances highlight the party: Headliner Peel, a pop band with an experimental, art & craft approach to music, is not afraid make some noise. With an electronica alter ego the size of Texas, MVSCLZ hearkens the last days of disco and Studio 54 while not losing a future-minded boldness. Computer synthesized tunes don’t hold back the anti-Ritalin effects of electro/funk MC Neiliyo, who gets the party started after a short program of entertaining local films.


World Premiere Short Video Programs

For your viewing pleasure: An original short program from exciting Austin filmmaker BLACK MAGIC ROLLERCOASTER, eclectic media & visual art by Totally Wreck Production Institute, and a surprise short selection from M.A.L.I. Women's Film & Performance Arts Festival screen at MakeMusic TalkMusic throughout the night. M.A.L.I. Representatives will be present to talk about the 9th annual event happening in May.


Live Interactive Robot Demo – Thingamagoop

Because it's not really an interactive party without robots, right? Creative robot tinkerer John-Mike Reed of Bleep Labs provides a cool noise robot display, customizable and available for purchase online. During the music performances, look for a noise bot to join in, maybe during a Peel guitar solo.
