synnack @ Together Fest

Sun, 18 Mar 2012 20:04:27 EDT

synnack will perform at Together Festival in Boston along with Encanti and Psylab on April 5th 2012.

Founded in 2009, Together is a week-long electronic music festival held throughout Greater Boston. By night, it’s a whirlwind party showcasing the biggest local DJs alongside rising stars and legends from around the world. By day, Together is a conference–think discussion panels, screenings, tradeshows, and gear demos–celebrating the latest in fashion, technology, and art, and how they come together in the always-evolving world of electronic music.

Closely associated with the mad artist/scientists at Boston's Vermin Street Collective, Encanti is an independent artist known for combining elements of dubstep, jamtronica, techno, and pure Encanti insanity. He's been seen most frequently as part of the Zebbler Encanti Experience, which has filled spaces with seizure-incuding original visuals and intense, mind-bending sounds. Psylab and Synnack open.

Doors open at 7pm with synnack starting promptly at 8pm. Get there early!

synnack @ THUD

Wed, 27 Apr 2011 09:36:57 EDT

On May 16th 2011, synnack and 0xf8 will perform a live set at a Kinetik Festival pre-party hosted by THUD!

The night will feature an early set by synnack, visuals by 0xf8, and DJ sets by DJ Shivar, DJ Static, and DJ Van Der Kind.

9pm @ 835 Beacon St. in Boston, MA, near Kenmore Square

Likely I will play a bunch of beat oriented stuff rather than the dark ambient. Thinking of performing with mostly remix clips I've done in the past few years! Should be interesting and unique.

synnack.init.system released

Sat, 30 Oct 2010 13:23:34 EDT

The first synnack DVD release is now available from Force of Nature.

synnack init.system is a video anthology exploring themes of creation, revelation, demise and catharsis. Set to tracks from synnack's "v2" release, init.system is split into 3 acts; each focused on a different phase of an unknown protagonist's journey. Adolescent trauma, abnormal curiosity with familiar objects, and pseudo-spiritual revelation are highlighted in Act I "init.being". Act I features videos for "Ants in the Water", "L3D", and "Nauvoo" and introduces the 3 main characters and the rising tensions between them. In Act II, "init.descent", these tensions escalate to a violent and destructive outcome in videos for "Her Room" and "Underneath Outside". The anthology concludes in Act III "init.restart" which is set to "Rize (5mg)" and provides a hallucinatory abstraction meant to represent a moment of twilight just after the protagonist's ultimate end.

The footage used in init.sytsem was shot in HD and edited in 2008-2009 by Jennifer McClain of 0xf8 Studios with final edits in early 2010. The video collaboration between McClain and synnack began in 2007 to create installation-like environments using Cycling 74's Max/MSP/Jitter to be used for the synnack live performances. This early work focuses on abstract narrative, an evolving cinematography that exposes and examines the boundary between eye-candy and film. Init.system leverages these techniques to combine classical mythological themes with chance methodologies in much the same way the synnack performances contain generated custom and narrative footage.

This DVD also includes a code for use on synnack.com where you can register as a synnack supporter to gain access to free music, often unreleased, discounts on merchandise, and more.
