Event Information
About this Event
Black Taffy (Dallas, TX | Leaving Records)
Black Taffy is a Dallas based composer and performer whose current focus lies in blending ambient music with large bass and percussion. The first born son of Pentecostal music ministers, Donovan grew up witnessing the power music has to induce trance and encourage spiritual awakening. Eventually drawing parallels between christianity, voodoo and the occult, he left the former to immerse himself in the latter. Sometimes performing with a vibraphone and cassette decks, he frequently employs the use of cassette tape loops and other antiquated mediums to create pillowy worlds of wow and flutter.

Brogan Bentley (SF)
California-born composer/producer Brogan Bentley merges a myriad of sonic traditions into a style, all his own. West-Coast psychedelic ethos and deep appreciation of subterranean bass-tones found in Dub, Jungle and other underground electronic music are all present in his sound, creating an experience that takes listeners somewhere between the familiar and etherial, at once. His processed voice laid atop intricate digital sequencing play off one another, blurring lines between what is human and what is machine, all the while retaining a distinctly organic quality.
