A few weeks back I got an email from Steve Nalepa. Steve’s been on solipsistic NATION in the past and Steve has always been on top of what’s new and fresh in the electronic music scene. So when Steve mentioned several students from his Music Technology class that he teaches at Chapman University who were performing with him I knew I had to have them on the show.
As I said, Steve has been on solipsistic NATION several times. Steve’s live set that he performed for the Dub Beautiful Collective was featured on the show back in January of 2008. Steve also performed with Matt B of Bass Science and one of their live sets from Tokyo was featured on the show in September of 2008. More recently Steve appeared on the show to talk about his Flatlands:Remixes album.
Henry Allen and Preston Walker are Virtual Boy and met at Chapman University and joined forced in Steve’s Music Technology class. Virtual Boy’s How Long Does It Take To Get To Space? has been released on 1320 Records after they were hired to remix Nalepa’s Sunflowers single.
David Streit is FuzZ. David is also one third of theGREENLAB, a film production company working with experimental musicians in and around Los Angeles. theGREENLAB are currently hard at work on a documentary about the Low End Theory club in Los Angeles.
Andrew Swanson is St Andrew. For the past 10 months, Andrew has worked alongside famed UK electronic musician Adam Freeland, helping create the Freeland Live set for Glastonbury 2009 and beyond.
Join us next week for a special live set from The Orb and an interview with The Orb’s Alex Paterson!
