It’s that time again - your favourite bi-monthly audio/visual even returns! Starting around 7:30pm and lasting until 11:30pm, on 5 June 2008 Spencer Mash (SS_R) & PixelPusher present a night of soundscapes, experimental music, and visuals as part of the ever-popular, on-going Immersion series at The Flea-Pit, London E2. [schedule]
Immersion is a free-entry experimental music/sound-art event featuring a soundtrack of electronic atmospheres, noisescapes, pulses/rhythms and tones/drones.
Immersion is an arena for new and established artists performing live experimental electronic music; using laptops, synthesizers, field recordings, circuit-bent electronics and prepared/processed/custom-made instruments.
Immersion promotes the whole notion of DIY/independently generated music - free of commercial constraints, or constrictions of catagorisation.
All sounds are partnered by stimulating projected visuals processed live and tailored for each performance.
The Flea-Pit is a unique cafe-bar/arts venue with comfortable retro furniture - and a gallery/performance area, in the heart of east/central London’s vibrant art scene and is located only five minutes away from Shoreditch High Street. Nearest tube: Old Street (exit 2).

My first thought after (and during) this past Immersion at The Flea Pit, London - Where did all you people come from?! People were queued up in the hallway leading to the performance wing of The Pit for almost the entire night. It got so crowded that I had to stop videoing the event, people were in the way of my camera. We had to trust our laptop screen in the back while doing visuals because we couldn’t see past the crowd to the screens!
Of course, this is a good thing. Thanks to everyone who showed up! Your enthusiasm and energy makes these (free) events worthwhile.

Another Immersion, and some excellent repeat performances as well as new faces manning the visuals (for us, anyway). Starting around 7pm and lasting until 11:30pm, on 7 February 2008 Spencer Mash (SS_R) & PixelPusher present a night of soundscapes, experimental music, and visuals as part of the ever-popular, on-going Immersion series at The Flea-Pit, London E2.

Energetic and and intense set from PixelPusher (visuals) and 0 > 1 (sound). Dang it, there was such good bass in the room when I recorded this track, but my camera microphone didn’t pick up any of it. To get the full experience, get out a large metallic drum and give it a good whack whenever you see the visuals in the background flicker (they were working off the bass volume). I might have 0 > 1 re-do this track if/when we decide to put out an Immersion DVD.

Another great night. Transphormetic and myself trading off visuals and mixing it up for the night to a line-up of really interesting sounds and more-than-danceable music. Of course, this being London, the crowd sat in polite reverence and did not spontaneously erupt into a fit of throwing shapes and hopping around like some other cities (Berlin I’m looking at you! Have you no shame?!)
Here is a snippet from the first set to get you in the mood for movin’:
