Moris Code

By Leave a Comment

Drew Wood (aka Moris Code): from Billings, Montana, USA

Drew started playing music at age 8, and now plays the piano, keyboard, sings, and mixes using a laptop.  His style represents the fuzion of several genres such as breakbeat, electronic, ambient, and dub.   With an understanding for other’s style, Drew stated, in an interview that his music represents a “personalized musical experience. To each their own, part of the reason why I try to avoid a certain genre. Quite a few different styles are incorporated, [in my music]”.  Clearly an inspired 23 year old, who’s career is on the rise and full of potential.

Moris Code’s Style has a binary feel with an electronic base. Moris Code is always cooking up new tracks. In fact, Moris Code just released a banger, called Nocturnal Soundwaves. This song (which you should listen to below,) has a nice spacious intro with an array of syths and sounds.  Drew, the mastermind behind Moris Code, is mastering his craft with a touch of sensitivity a dabble of classical, and a heavy dose of electronic.  The name ‘Moris Code’ suggests a binary nature with focus on development and spacing over time.  Worth the time: Stop, listen and appreciate.

WANDERLUST WEDNESDAY! Festival season is upon us.

By Leave a Comment

Blessed with an beautiful weekend in Eugene with blue skies and 80 degree weather, it is only fitting to share with the Freio community the Shangri La of Oregon and the most incredible festival location my barefoot self has experienced.

I present to you… HORNING’S HIDEOUT

Just outside of Portland, Oregon, this venue has it all. It is truly a land of enchantment. Camping in the Oregon hills, sun bathing by the pond, jamming out with the beautiful Doug Firs, nothing is better. If you haven’t experienced the magic behind this special place, make your way this summer! Not only does Horning’s have great festivals, but day use includes fishing, paddle boating, and exploring the mysterious and romantic backwoods. If you’re looking for a TRIP this summer, you know where I’ll be. See you on the other side!!

Beatz and Peaces

By 1 Comment

BEATZ & PEACES: Bowling Green, Kentucky

Scotty Tichenor & Aaron Green are the minds behind the sound.

Influenced by: Pretty Lights, Lotus, and Zoogma. 

In their own words: “Beatz & Peaces is a fusion between dub, dance, electronic jams and break beats. Influenced by many different bands and styles we bring a very technical, new and unique sound to the table. Breaking the barriers were music has to have specific genres..”

Bits and Nibbles of samples, synths, and lyrics. With a busy array of electronic and sound, Beatz & Peaces twists audio at will to create a unique playful sound. Despite the electronic feel they are musicians, playing the Guitar, Bass, Drums, Keyboard, as well as Vocals. They also prove that a laptop is an instrument that can be mastered.

Two Song Descriptions/ Reactions: (leave your reactions and comment below!)

Northern Lights, has an acoustic guitar intro riff that sets the tone for the rest of the song. It is a great tallent to be able to combine acoustic instrumentation to the digital spectrum of sound. 

Lost in Translation: With an eerie sounds, synths, loops, bells, bass, vocals is a airy blend of vibration. To me it is a cloudy idea presented with clarity. LFOs wobble the speaker’s face (and surly your own), while “_*^&^%_, _*^&^%__, Bang” brings you back to reality.  With sounds that resemble 90’s Nintendo 64 game sounds (james-bond or perfect dark), it has a unique feel, flow and development.

Resolution- Jan 28th, 2012

By Leave a Comment

Resolution Portland, Oregon, USA

Upon reflection, this show has been a highlight of 2012 thus far.  With much more to come, who can sit still? Here is some of the music that has permitted the West Coast vibrations and will continue for yeas to come!

Phuture Primitive!

Horizon Events threw a massave rager in a warehouse in Portland.  Actually let me rephrase that.  A collective effort was put forth to create a ridiculous event with a killer light show.  A spectacular display of lights, lasers, and video to the eyes with lighting by Dreamer, visuals by Light Trope, and space shaping by Renaissnce Raven, the ave was scheduled from 9:00PM to 6:00AM.  9 hours of head pounding, sternum wrenching bassy electronic music coupled with incredible visuals, i think all were sweaty and satisfied as the sun was rising.

“RESOLUTION! The show was sold out!!!!!!! 500+ heads in the building make for a special night! Big ups to RE SOUND for the KV2 sweetness, all the vendors, the AMAZING DJ TALENT, THE AMAZING SECURITY TEAM, MICHEAL BOWLES and his crew for the dopest stage setup I have ever seen, JOSH FITZ for equally impressive video design, DREAMER with the DOPEST LASER SHOW IN THE NW” -Zilch

A special thanks to Tribal Spectrum, Michael Bowls (Renaissance Raven), Stapelton, Alden Rodgers and Horizon Events!

Finite State

A wonder from down-under; Finite State

This dynamite duo is a fresh project from Adelaide, Australia. The smooth, cerebral music of Rohan and Josh (AKA Finite State) leads your mind to a beautiful and hidden part of your soul. Josh Warry is a returning Freio Artist for his self titled solo project, while Rohan makes his Freio debute. This new partnership is bound to blow up! With minimalistic leads, a low, smooth bass, and tranquil drums, Finite State brings an ambient vibe that is almost mesmerizing. I’m excited to see where the music takes this young and talented duo. In the words of the artists themselves; “For best results: Lights off, Headphones on”

Night Wave

Freio brings you some deep-south dub! Coming at you from Ft. Worth, Texas, here is Night Wave. In the hard-hitting world that is dubstep, Eric Sauber is a heavy weight favorite. As the production mastermind behind Night Wave, Eric Sauber is one of the heaviest, filthiest, dub-face-makin’ music producers to reach my ears. The haunting combination of incredibly crisp, samples into deep, dark lows is simply one of a kind. Take some time, let the beat soak into your skin. This is some dubstep that you simlpy cannot afford to miss. For booking or any other inquiries, hit Eric up at ericjsauber@gmail.com, and of course, become a fan by visiting the links at the bottom. Big ups to Night Wave, mad respect for the work you put into your music. Onward!

Mike’s Picks

 *A special thanks to all of the artistis who have participated in freio Music!!! 

Great Year! So much new music, hard to narrow it down, but here it is:

 

Favorite FreioConcert 

After Sober Raver got 3 VIP passes and a meet and greet with San Quinn (bay area rapper), the night was kicked off right when I met several Veterans in the back stage who had recently returned from Iraq and Afghanistan.  The Rock’s warm welcome to the troops set the atmosphere when the Starz took the stage!  To get free download & read more click here…

 Starz of Da Bizzare!

Starz Of Da Bizzare Feat. Tha BedMonsters-chain swang

Fly Trappa (see right)

Favorite Freio Artist from 2011!

Madhushree from Mumbai, India

Despite language differences, it was a pleasure to be contacted by an amazing artist from India.  She is now internationally recognized for her voice and deserves every bit of recognition she has earned!


ComScoreComScore
“It was Oscar winner A.R. Rahman who brought her into the limelight with his unforgettable composition, ‘Kabhi neem neem kabhi shahad shahad…’ in Mani Ratnam’s film ‘Yuva’. This song gave Madhushree the kind of recognition which every singer dreams of.

Signal Path!

Wick-it the Instigator  from Nashville, United States

This Artist has been busy in the last 365 days.  In fact, he has released nearly 100 songs!

“His roots are in hip hop/turntablism, but in the last couple years, electronic music has vastly made its way into his repertoire as well. Wick-it is all about the party, and despite the style or approach with each individual track, serious crowd rocking fun is the goal.”-Wick-it

Hamilton Beach – Ear's Reach

By Leave a Comment

“I started making music a few years back, using Ableton Live and Logic. (I use mainly Ableton nowadays.) Ma shit is mainly Electro-jammy-dubby-hip-hop(esque), with maybe a little glitch thrown in for good measure…i draw from a lot of different influences, as you will hear. I have a bachelor’s degree in music from Denison University, and am currently getting my masters degree at the University of Oregon in Intermedia Music Technology. I am based out of Eugene, OR.” – Nate Asman

Ahoy by Hamilton Beach

With continual development Hamilton Beach crashes upon the shores of ones ears. Pleasant enough for early morning melodies.  Hamilton Beach clearly focuses on the synths as they all continually pulse, shrink, and morph.  The clever titles of the compositions, such as “I’ll think of something”, seem to get a little less attention.  After all there are no lyrics in the songs, why should one need to place a word on an instrumental?

I’ll Think of Something by Hamilton Beach

Artwork by Luisella Zuccotti

Deaf people are not only amazing visual artists (see above artwork), but musically inclined as well!  In American Universities, music-history classes often discuss influential blind musicians.  History is old, out of date, yet it is being written today. There are some very influential Deaf musicians, alive today, who have yet to be included in the textbooks.
Roughly 5 months ago, Greece had a revolutionary concert for both the Deaf and Hearing populations called ‘See the Music’.  As stated on the ‘seethemusic’ website: “Our goal with hosting this event is to bring together two superficially different worlds, since the only difference between them lies on the language they use.”  The phrase ‘linguistic minority’ is used to describe the Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing, illustrating the lack of popularity and fluency in Sign Language.  The concert was translated/ preformed in ASL as well as the Greek Sign Language (GSL).  This concert was free to enter and open to the public.
Artists including K.TBHA and Signmark both preformed at the event.
