Series organizer Laura Escude will feature performers each month
that use Ableton Live will also show the group some tips and
tricks on how they create their music/sets. She recently got to sit in
on the New York User Group, and it was both informative and fun with
crazy controllerists like Moldover who showed how he hacked his
Novation. He then performed a deft set with his specially bent toolz.

LABUG's first meeting will feature Escude on violin alongside Carmen
Rizzo, producer/remixer extraordinare. We will do a combination class/
performance, afterwards opening it up to a few people who want to
perform as well. Doors open at 7pm.

If you would like more information, want to help out, or are interested in
performing and showing your tips and tricks, please email me at:
losangelesug@ableton.com

Performing at this first event of this monthly series will be Henry Strange,
Reed Rothchild, Zeitpunkt, and John von with Steve Tavaglione and Peter
Maunu. Visuals will be performed by Optical Light Pipe. A reception will
follow the performances.

Partikel Series creator and long time LA electronic music scenester Jim Cowgill
is pleased to be bringing this event to the Goethe Institute noting, “so much
great electronic music and technology come out of Germany that we could not
imagine a more ideal place to hold this event. The room is perfect for the
listening vibe we are creating and we are looking forward to bringing local
cutting edge electronic sounds to an appreciative audience.”

Goethe Institut is located at 5750 Wilshire Blvd, Suite #100
Admission is $10 and parking is free. More info at www.partikel-series.com

in the mid 70's. More info about the artists at http://www.sequenox.com/
