Holly Herndon At Mississippi Studios 7/30
Mississippi Studios will be hosting a very intriguing bill tomorrow night (7/30) as Visible Cloaks and electronic maestro Holly Herndon come to town. The San Francisco-based Herndon burst onto the scene as one of electronic music’s more talented composers with 2012’s excellent Movement, and fulfilled (and exceeded) the promise shown on that record with this year’s Platform.
To achieve her uniquely gorgeous and often ominous sound, Herndon the visual programming language Max/MSP to create custom instruments and vocal processes, creating a strange and wholly original beauty in her songs rarely seen in electronic music. It’s laptop music that dares you to say it has no soul, and with talented local sound collage-ists Visible Cloak sharing the bill, it’s certainly one worth checking out.
Tickets are $12 now, $14 day of the show, and this one figures to sell out, so go ahead and grab yours right here.
