offerations vol. 1

good morning.
i want to dedicate this post to all who made transmolecular-offerations vol. 1/1.2 possible...
what really made it pop was the open contribution and positive energy of everyone that lent a hand, eye, ear or thought...
the music, art, and visuals of SEEKERS INTERNATIONAL, ASTRX, GALAXABURN, and WZRDRY A/V was a sight and sound to behold and i look forward to more events like this in the not too distant future, an expression of culture for the love.

offerations vol. 1/1.2 was another reminder that we are not alone in our vision...
thanks for the support good peoples!!!

PEACE,
sip

Transmolecular sounds hit VIVO Media Arts

Taken from...

 

By Gregory Adams, November 22, 2012

 

Vancouver’s experimental Transmolecular collective runs the gamut from dub to electronic to folk, but the local musicians will band together this week for a group exhibition titled Offerations Vol. 1. The event takes place this Sunday (November 25) at VIVO Media Arts, and will feature audio and visual works created specifically for the program by Wzrdry A/V, Astrx, Galaxaburn, Sipreano, and Seekers International.
According to Seekers (aka Spencer Ocampo), the troupe has been prepping the show for years, and attempted something similar at the same venue back in the late ’90s, when it was dubbed the Video In. This time around, each artist is putting together their own 30-minute segment; Ocampo’s contribution meshes new work in the vein of his most recent dubby outing The Call From Below with visuals supplied by fellow Transmolecular member Mystery Forms.
“You’ll hear dub here, or funk here or there,” he said of the night’s anticipated soundscapes. “But it’s about trying to squeeze something else out of it than the usual, formulaic things. That’s been our m.o. for a while.”

magnetic haze LTD CD (WZRDRY records)

from out of the unknown and onto your stereo!!! i've been championing the music of kelly claude nairn and spencer ocampo for many moons... under the respective monikers of decaf and seekers international they've each created hours upon hours of left-field beat, dub, and atmospheric/environmental experimentation, original soundscapes that can take the listener to unheard dimensions. on may 7, 2011, the pair released their first commercial long-player collaboration on decaf's WZRDRY label (refer to 2004's "sedation" b/w "level C" 7" single). magnetic haze is available as a hand-crafted CD or for digital download. i highly encourage you to purchase a compact disc. they won't last long and the musical rewards are truly mind-expanding. this one's for the heads. below is a promotional blurb from decaf w/ all the necessary deets...

Magnetic Haze press release:
I'm very happy to announce this collaboration between my long time music making friends Seekers International aka Transmolecular. We went bananas with our tape echo units and other studio tools & techniques for this project. The result is an hour of relentlessly deep atmospheric exploration divided into four movements.
Available for digital download on a free/pay whatever you want basis at:
wzrdryrecordings.bandcamp.com

We also have put together a limited edition run of 50 hand stamped & numbered Cd copies. Cd cover artwork is also a collaboration between Wzrdry/Seekers. Contact wzrdry@gmail.com for info on getting a copy mailed out to you.

future mystery

well, i don't really know how to accurately describe what you are (hopefully) about to witness, so i'll leave it quick fast. here's a handful of blogs from the crew known collectively as transmolecular. long-time hommies and makers of music for music's sake, they mostly let the sound (and visuals) do the talking. with a set aimed at and inspired by the cosmos, they KILLED vancouver's H.R. macmillan planetarium this past spring at planetarium 2010 and will hopefully rock the sunshine coast come summer 2011 if kamandi can get the right set up going. this is muzak for the heads, roots brethren, and sky-pilots. it's real rebel music with no posturing—spiritual sounds... take your time w/ these links and the rewards will be tremendous!!! dig deeper, and you never know what you may find...
