From the Washington City Paper:

"The monthly Electric Possible gathering is all about words that end in -al--particularly 'experimental,' 'accidental,' 'improvisational,' and 'irrational'...The noise is a community thing, made by a network of artists who thrive on the freedom to explore emotional spontaneity, social rebellion, and psychedelic escapism, without the hippie aftertaste." --Joe Warminsky, Washington City Paper (Feb 4, 2005 "City Lights")

NEW TECHNOLOGY, NEW SPIRIT, NEW ENERGY, NEW MUSIC



Monday, March 15--New Music for the 21st Century with Sesshin No-Fi + Fast Forty + more TBA!

Sesshin No-Fi--Babylonian bebop from members of Aleasthete, 302 Acid and other projects, combining zen concept of no mind with the unconventional aesthetic of no wave and lo-fi underground musics. 

Fast Forty--Inspired by an El Possible show last year, Keith Sinzinger took a bunch of galvanized pipe--once destined for the dump--and transformed it into a set of tubular bells. Played with various mallets, hammers, finger picks & whatever else comes to mind, and processed through an array of stomp boxes and other electronics, the bells are sometimes earthy, sometimes industrial, sometimes spacey. Added to the mix are tape loops, found sounds, circuit-bent toys & other oddities. After a long absence from live performance (mostly rave chill-out stuff), Keith returned in April 2009 to play at a Sonic Circuits event and gathering of the Baltimore SDIY Variable Ensemble at the National Electronics Museum. He performs under the moniker Fast Forty, adopted when he was fast approaching 40. Past projects have included remixing the Clinton impeachment debate and the Biden-Palin vice presidential debate (both self-released on cassette). A lifelong newsman, he tries to remain in tune to the news and is constantly on the lookout for ways to exploit it musically. File under: intense ambient.

coming in April  2010: 7th Anniversary show featuring rhythm & noise "dance" party!
