yeah, i had to double take on that one too. would be mad tho.

not the UK Resound, these guys are Australian.

That was the best Off Beat to date. What a great night. It started with hordes of Twitter internet meet up people covered in name tags, who didn't like when I changed the music from space rock to dubstep, and left, the place was totally empty other than four lovely ladies. Then Kim's birthday contingent slowly came in... then all of a sudden it was packed, and people had a blast up till 1am closing time.

Phenomenal music from Krisy and Lephrenic. I met so many terrific new people, even the totally wasted dude who looked like a bigger beefier Shikung at the end was amusing.

Great night people, we rocked Horse Bazaar.

Probably not a very original name

How bout those finns?

I played Fanu last night incidentally.

Ok people thanks to community spirit on here, this Thursday evening at Horse Bazaar I'll be unleashing the 3/4 set I've been playing around with for a few months.

from 8-9pm the cast & crew of my The Dogs Live On film project gather together for the first time, so it will be a nice creative energy, and good music after that.

Off Beat truly goes off beat this week...

last week's was classic, hope you can make it. We'll be taking next week "off" with ReSound, so it'll be the last one like this for a while.

Blaxter · Post by **Blaxter** » Wed Feb 27, 2008 5:46 pm

2 Threads dedicated to one set of 3/4 beats.
Love your style.

Lephrenic · Post by **Lephrenic** » Wed Feb 27, 2008 10:07 pm

I wasn't even going to bother with the 3/4 thing tomorrow but after scanning through my collection it seems I have quite bit of the stuff, so hop to the three four I shall!

universal sea · Post by **universal sea** » Thu Feb 28, 2008 9:44 am

it will be interesting to see how many similar tracks we have

I can do about 70 minutes without adding the very strange metal, hardcore and folk stuff that doesnt really fit

universal sea · Post by **universal sea** » Thu Feb 28, 2008 7:43 pm

on my way in, first half of the night is my 3/4 set, then lephrenic takes over

cya soon

This week on Off Beat we welcome a live act - RE-SOUND - who will be dropping a special live performance from 8-9pm.

re-sound
Diverse cultures, aesthetics, media, techniques and technologies (hard and soft) crowd the current new-arts terrain. re-sound responds flexibly to this information-rich environment by engaging with and presenting sound in a number of contexts. re-sound formed in Melbourne in 1996 with the intention of creating a performance platform for contemporary sound and music. The group grew out of Monash University where artistic director Thomas Reiner lectures in composition.

re-sound has explored and developed:
the hybrid forms emerging from a collision between performance gestures, acoustic sounds, digital signal processing, and sound synthesis;
the aesthetics of an improvised performance for DJ and amplified chamber ensemble (somewhere between hip hop and free jazz);
the dialectics of the human body and the musical formalism associated with the performance of modernist works;
the relationship between composer and performer (and the subversion of that relationship) in the development of new work;
the performance of electro-acoustic works that integrate dance music idioms;
new notation-based work by Melbourne composers;
the inclusion of dance, theatre, and interactive live computer graphics triggered by the performers.

In performance, re-sound provides audiences with an exciting experience of todayâ€™s sonic culture. Standout events include:

Ephemeral Densities: an integrated set of new electroacoustic music from Australia, Germany and Alaska presented at the central Melbourne night club Pony to a full house;
a live-to-air performance of contemporary Australian work for the New Music Australia program on ABC Classic FM;
a concert of John Cageâ€™s work as part of the Melbourne MallarmÃ© and the 20th Century Festival;
a CD recording featuring Australian and North American modernist works;
a concert in partnership with the Melbourne Composerâ€™s League;
a CD launch at Revolver nightclub of re-soundâ€™s electro-acoustic interpretation of Terry Rileyâ€™s minimalist classic In C;
a mentorship with Melbourne pianist Robert Chamberlain, featuring recent Australian works;
a multimedia event including dance, interactive computer music, and a collaboration with DJ Special Air Service;
a performance of Steve Adamâ€™s HybriD at the closing concert of the Australian Computer Music Conference 2002 (re-soundâ€™s development of HybriD was also featured on ABC TVâ€™s arts program New Dimensions).

Say you're here for Off Beat at the door and you will definitely avoid a cover charge. And then it's free after 9pm anyway.

universal sea · Post by **universal sea** » Thu Mar 06, 2008 3:59 pm

tonight's the night, I'll be recording re-sound, then our regularly chilled programming

set times:

8pm - RE-SOUND - LIVE
9pm - Sea
10:30pm - Lephrenic

lephrenic's 3/4 set from last week is online now - www.umfm.net

universal sea · Post by **universal sea** » Mon Mar 10, 2008 3:13 pm

A special Off Beat this week where Lephrenic takes sole command and presents the evening solo, with his hand picked guests.

I'll be out of town on business, picking up university sluts at a traffic light party.

It's precisely this attitude and arrogance that you've come to know and hate about me. Commemorate it by showing your support to Hegg, and visit Off Beat while Sea's not there.

Cool people, chickens, internet tough guys, snippy chickitas who secretly crush on me but would never admit it, all you are welcome at Hegg's special off beat evening.

If there's a good crowd, I'll take next Thursday off as well, for a repeat of the greatest hater party melbourne beats has ever seen.

Lephrenic - care to elaborate on the evening itself? Thank goodness it's not all gimmick and you have a quality line up planned for everybody..

Blaxter · Post by **Blaxter** » Mon Mar 10, 2008 3:25 pm

I'll be showing my love for Off Beat and its curators (both of you) by gracing the venue with my presence.
I've said it before and it's worth mentioning again that the concept behind Off Beat is pretty wikkid.

Leigh Hegg wrote:With regular co-host Sea absent this week, Lephrenic takes the reins and invites good friends to take part in a night of musical frolicking (if you can imagine such a thing).

First up we welcome back Factory Worker, who graced us with one hell of a set back in May. Hip hop to Dirty Three to Nancy Sinatra... perhaps he may even take requests.

Next up is Dystopia, who many of you may know for her menacing assortment of darker than dark drum n bass but who some may also know for her diverse collection of musical oddities which she will grace us with at Off Beat.

And of course, Lephrenic caps off the evening with whatever he deems suitable at the time. You could request tunes but he probably won't have them.

So come on down, friends, enemies, would-be lovers and wanna-be arty types. Is there a more wide ranging night in Melbourne than Off Beat?

8:00 - FACTORY WORKER
9:30 - DYSTOPIA
11:00 - LEPHRENIC

Dunno about requests but the Factory Worker has been doing overtime to accumulate a range of tracks that span a lifetime of music of music appreciation and obsessive crate digging.

universal sea · Post by **universal sea** » Thu Mar 13, 2008 11:17 am

tonight's the night, lephrenic's special off beat presentation.

i'm excited about where I'm going, sorry im missing out.

I wish you the very best in off beats

Lephrenic · Post by **Lephrenic** » Thu Mar 13, 2008 4:10 pm

b.y.o. escorts, I assume.

Blaxter · Post by **Blaxter** » Thu Mar 13, 2008 6:18 pm

BYO Escorts or flag the gig and head off for a debauched night in bothel/dungeon with golden showers provided dominatrix with bad breath from eating too much cheese.

I think I'd rather play some tunes a drink alcoholic beverages.

Time to log OFF melbboune BEATs and publicly embrace my vinyl fetish.

Lephrenic · Post by **Lephrenic** » Fri Mar 14, 2008 3:42 am

No escorts, but damn me if I didn't meet some lovely lasses this eve. I love Off Beat.

I'd be correct in assuming that when you said "meet" you actually meant "bone", yes?

universal sea · Post by **universal sea** » Fri Mar 14, 2008 10:48 am

I hope it was fun and went well, and that the recording was switched on..

i think leigh like me for the most part uses "meet" to set up "bone" down the line. patience brings good things.

aight, that traffic light party was intense. Now I have a foam party next wednesday while I pretend I'm in university.

next off beat... boat party?

Lephrenic · Post by **Lephrenic** » Fri Mar 14, 2008 4:07 pm

Off Boat?

Blaxter · Post by **Blaxter** » Mon Mar 17, 2008 1:43 pm

Thanks for having me down last week.
I had a real blast spinning tunes, and will throw a set list your way when I get a chance to listen to the recording.
Dystopia was definitely on form with a pretty fine selection of tunes that helped me get my drink on.

universal sea · Post by **universal sea** » Mon Mar 17, 2008 2:17 pm

I'll go through my Icelandic music collection and see what suits.
